Yeah, Winds were very strong with Bob, It was was bad here too, Lost power for 10 days, At that time had no generator, Sump pumps couldn't run, 2'+ of water in the basement, Never again will that happen.
I know up here, You can go back and look at your Kwhr usage with your electric company and im sure its the same elsewhere, That's usually the telltale even with the PUC increases if your usage is higher, Your bill will be too, Running a dehumidifier consumes as much or more kilowatts then a AC window unit, I have 2 dehumidifiers the newer one is somewhat more efficient.
I'm not talking about Atlantic Canada, They have had there share of tropical and post tropical systems, My money would be on them again for this one right now or the flemish cap, Very few on here was around pre 1960, The obvious answer is post, I'm strictly talking New England.
I didn't give it a 0% chance, But i will maintain a low bar, That then is where we differ, I may have different thoughts in 2-3 days from now, But overall modeled synoptic patterns are not a lock at this lead even in winter, Subtle changes will have big implications on TS outcomes up here and i will lean on the side off past history until proven otherwise on a LF major hurricane into New England.
