Lost power. Was pretty drunk and went to bed. The wind was crazy with lots of branches falling. I'll assess(later) in the morning. Back to bed.

Heh, might actually get something that will make this day not a total bust.

With a voddy tonic. oh, having one now.

Well this has largely disappeared lol. Still a bit of a -NAO develops towards the very end of the month. Not very helpful at that point. Still, the currently advertised pattern centered on the 25th isnt awful.

It is the best model. One against all the rest.

What a complete nothingburger. The decision to close schools early was questionable regardless. I mean, even in a worst case scenario in these parts, we are taking a few tornados over a very broad area. Anyway, a tenth of an inch of rain here lol. Didn't even sniff a garden variety storm and minimal wind with forecasts of 40+ mph gusts. Not mad at all.

You can get some awesome shots over here as you know with it being flat and wide open. I have so many cool shelf cloud shots. eta-shots like my current profile pic

Depends on the model- The 3km NAM suggest you might want to head east.

Sounds like both to me.

Idk, seems like we routinely fail at severe. Mostly garden variety storms with some heavy rain, modest wind gusts, and some decent T&L.
