I’ve been too busy to pay attention to the weather and don’t know it’d be this windy today. N winds at 40.

Downright nasty. Car getting blown around

I think the June model updates are going to show some crazy solutions, very likely showing this El Niño easily surpassing all the events since 1950 in both RONI and ONI….

Loud gusts early this morning kept me up. 42F and 1.8" so far with one last round moving in.

Wind whipped misery mist and 48F in E CT, 0.06” so far

Here are the rainfall totals since January for closest station to me (PAX River). We'd need to have over 2.5" per month above normal for each of those three months to break even for the year. Not likely. Jan: 2.87, departure of -0.04 Feb: 2.30, departure of -0.54 Mar: 1.63, departure of -2.37 Apr: 0.88, departure of -2.80 May: 1.51, departure of -1.92

yeah, this thing's cold physics were modeled to be very nucleated the whole time. I mean, the hydrostatic thickness plumbs something like 15 dm spanning 6 hours and return almost fully. 552 -- 538 -- 552 I'm surprised we did not get more thunder in the region but I did see a lot more lightning detection up around the ST L/ BTV region last evening so I guess -

Always amusing what a wind pit ASH is. Outages to the east, outages to the west. Outages in the city: 2.

yeah...the more I look at this now that it's now-cast and 22/hind-sighting, this is a back door. I realize folks will argue because anytime someone makes a suggestion that interrupts one's formulating narrative on social media, there is recreational blow back if not outrage - some people are just triggered. But clearly, that explanations atones best for the oddities of this thing's total deep layer circulation behavior/history. If one were to imagine a conversation with a ruddy old denizen of western Nova Scotia he would say that about 12 hours or so prior to our so-called backdoor phenomenon down here, they get just about exactly what we are getting now. It's because the short wave impulse moves overhead up there, and sends the boundary down the coast. Our unique topography then beckons it along it's journey and it doesn't stop until the Va Capes sometimes but ...that's secondary after the process has been triggered. In this case, we're just getting the impulse moving along an anomalously path from upper VT to SE MA as opposed to typically moving E QUE to NS.

Some white rain, but seems the coldest has shifted south. 38.3° -RA 2.02” through the tipper

Down to 36.3F with a 50-50 mix that goes almost all flakes in bigger gusts. Up to 2.45" since midnight. Crazy sucker-punch of a storm, glad I held off planting the tomatoes outside...

My son's flying into Logan and expected to arrive around 12:35pm. Sounds like it's going to be bumpy coming in... He was supposed to arrive at 1am last night but missed his flight. Not sure if it would've been better driving down to pick him up after midnight or after noon today with all the wind and rain!

Was like a switch was flipped on here. Went from nothing to something in seconds.

Just looking at sat ... it does seem there's a defined clearing line on the N side of a narrow "CCB" tube that pressing S pretty fast. Looks like PWM to Brian type axis within the hour, and then down here Rt 2 say ... I dunno 10:30 11 o'clock? https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=regional-northeast-02-24-1-100-1&checked=map&colorbar=undefined

Stay safe everyone

That's good news!

Stuff came in quick as modeled. Probably guessing 45+ now power flickered.

Yes it certainly feels like fall out there.

You are very observant! Congratulations. The comma's should have been periods. Wrong key. I have a bad habit of periods after a finished sentence to emphasize full stop after an unusual statement.

Raining and blowing now

You’ve had more this week than I’ve picked up last 4 months combined

I picked up another 3/4 of an inch overnight and closing in on almost 4 inches since the rain return.

It was about 1.5 to 2 hours of leaner gusts here and the last 1/2 hour we've stepped off the throttle. I was standing there in the kitchen making joe and looking out the window at it all ... you know, if one did not know any better they'd probably just think this was some backdoor on steroids. We were actually partly sunny here at dawn, with not much wind motion at all. These cold strata claw streets started moving overhead, and out of nowhere the trees started straining pretty abruptly shortly there after. We've had misty cool rains and the temperatures fallen from 52 at that time, to now 42. That acceleration with low cloud invasion and temp jolt ... it just 'seems' backdoorsian more than anything else. Yes yes we have a cyclone ...compact little fucker. Fascinating really, as it buzz saws it's way through the morning skies. It's odd tho regardless to pick up a CCB from this kind of entry. Typically, Nor'easters formulate OV transfer, or Miller As etc... Up under. This thing coming down on the NNW-->SSE azimuth is in fact an analog cousin to a S/W passing just N of CAR sending a boundary SW down the coast. It's just that the deep layer trajectory happened to take the S/W along a farther SW track ...roughly BTV to BOS

This is at one of the rail stations, around 3,800 ft elevation. Beautiful morning there. Most cams on the mountain are snow covered
