HIPPYVALLEY

They are banned at my kid’s school.

Sign me up for that outcome.

I think you’re fine there. There’s always a few trees down with steady sustained winds but I don’t see major issues for Southern Vermont.

I get what you’re looking for, it’s just really difficult to get a perfect set up.

I live in a grove of 100’ White Pines so wind only excites me when I’m at the coast. Although, I will say, White Pine are quite resilient with high winds outside of anomalous severe events. Either way, I just don’t see this being super impressive inland unless everything goes absolutely right for widespread damaging coastal. 9 out of 10 times it’s disappointment if you’re looking for big excitement in these storms. Well see what models show 24 hours from now when the sampling is better…

I think inland it’s going to be more impressive at elevations above 600’ if you are looking for any damage. The duration of the event, with regards to wind, may create some minor problems in the valley, but overall nothing impressive. Hydro issues inland are still to be determined.

Do you really want strong winds? I like having power on. My location is pretty windproof outside of sever weather anyway.

What do you have against miserable weekends?

Stay safe.

There won’t be an election… But be fun to have a cane to track!

Decent sheet drizzle here today. Don’t really need it or want it.

It was pretty nice in Greenfield today. Full sun, mid 70s. A little bit too breezy to make temperatures optimal, but we take.

Worst winter I’ve had in my 17 years here. Toaster plugged in next to the bathtub by mid February that year.

I will probably have much grinding of teeth, with regards to precipitation type, between mby and the hills around me but I think a decent N & W of RT2 winter is inbound.
