Yeah, kinda depressing, ain't it? I like my severe weather to be warm...snowstorms really don't do it for me. But ya deal with what you're dealt.

By that diagram, the scud ("funnel") we saw was at the gust front. So my initial assessment (no rotation = no funnel) was correct, and my after-the-fact thoughts based on things I've heard from others have been proven incorrect. This diagram also tells me that we may never see a tornado over Meredith neck from the northern side of the lake, because it will be hidden by the rain column.
The question remains for all who said they saw it rotating (and assuming they weren't smoking anything): Is it possible to have any sort of spin in a forward flank downdraft, in such a way that it could mimic a funnel cloud?

Well if it really was rotating, it could have been a
gustnado. But those are more typical of storms on the plains and usually go in the other direction, i.e., they're connected to the surface and not the base of the storm. But this isn't a typical season, is it?
