I was out all day. Got home a little while ago and looks like I lost power for a time. It’s back now but I have to reset the clocks. Maybe I’ll wait until the winds die down in case I lose power again.

Just had crazy loud crack of thunder in hackensack. Starting to pour.

1011 AM Non-Tstm Wnd Gst 2 S Rowayton 41.04N 73.44W 12/19/2025 M70 MPH ANZ335 CT Mesonet Mesonet station XGLL Greens Ledge Light. &&

Wild storm here. Definitely overperformed; the wind was crazy, and we had power outages all over the area. Just got my internet back an hour ago. Pack down to 5" in my yard, but you drive a mile down the road and it's been wiped out completely. Back to snow now at 34F

Indeed.

Went to rain/sleet/snow mix when winds were really gusting for 5 minutes. Now just rain. Temp dropping rapidly. 39.0

For December through the first half of February, that's definitely the case. Big PNA- snowstorms are a rarity. However, once one gets to the second half of February, the PNA- is better (wave lengths are shortening).

Sun popped out in a big bright way and said hello so I guess now it's cold and wind then sunset. Should be limited black ice considering the wind is drying everything out quickly....

Evil Empire

Back down to 38.5° off of a high of 53.8°. Warm sectored for around 5 hours. Pack has taken a beating, but persists! Also, max gust of 15.9mph so far.

Are we back?

Great day of damage across CT.

Front yard still has snow, woods, out back were decimated though.

Long range finally looks more serviceable after the NY. Before that it’s more of the thread the needle and timing of the shortwave nonsense. It doesn’t mean nothing will happen, but it ain’t that pretty. Speaking of the EPS.

Update: winds ripped apart our pergola roof. Meh…

My experience with the squall line was a 5 minute heavy shower with one bolt of lightning/ clap of thunder and a wind gust to 35 mph. FWIW my station at Fire Island measured a wind gust to 51 mph this morning. A station I follow on Block Island measured 80 mph. This storm system definitely means business.

The Euro Weeklies are full bore winter in January. They have increasingly BN temps. That LR ext ensemble and the GEPS have broken towards cold today. We were waiting for ensembles to track....some good trends. In the case of the Euro Weeklies...great trends. 95-96(lite) and some 84-85 vibes as you all noted earlier in the thread.

WB latest EURO weeklies bring normal temps by week ending Jan. 10. Rest of month is below normal.

Just came through. Strong winds for a few minutes, heard some power lines arcing in the distance but didn't lose power luckily.

Any snow left?

My high was 52, winds weren't too bad, killed 90% of my pack, time to start over.

In regards to the PDO, imo, the WCS has a better depiction of it in real time. The CPC just does it on a monthly basis. https://s2s.worldclimateservice.com/climatepanel/.

I think that works back this way too

I think there may be a little more hope for February this year with a fading Nina (possibly neutral by then)

Today’s Euro Weeklies are similar to the prior ones through Jan 11th with mild for much of the country though the warmest is closer to the C US, well away from the E US. However, today’s weeks 4-5 continue yesterday’s cooling trend: 1/12-18 12/17 run: 12/19 run: 1/19-25 12/18 run: 12/19 run: And then week 6 is similar to yesterday’s in the E US: In summary, whereas the first 3 weeks (through 1/11) remain mild in much of the E US, the last 3 weeks (1/12-2/1) are mainly NN to a little BN in most of the E US with nothing even resembling warmth. The 1/19-25 map suggests a +PNA is trying to form:
