In honor of James I gatta throw in the Gulf Stream comment. SST’s are rocking off the east coast. Henri is going to hit those waters and be primed for intensification. Miss your forum presence Jimmy! Maybe Henri is headed straight to harwich cape cod mass!
Alaska fishing trip in late July. We should have salmon like this up in Maine and NH. Hopefully conservation efforts bring them back at some point. We caught 18 salmon on the Kenai river near Soldotna.
If anyone is due its New England. Nada since Bob in 1991. We are going on 30 years with a return of 20 years for a land falling hurricane. Add all the coastal development and it’ll be a doozy even if it’s a minimal storm. Bob is the storm that got me hooked on weather. I was only 5 and I can still remember it. I followed my dad outside in the peak of the storm. My mom was not happy at all.
I actually just drove 20 through Brimfield a few weeks back. You can see the newer lower trees coming down the mountains and hills and it’s still pretty clear where the tornado went over 20 too. The untrained non weather person would have no idea now tho. Everything in the path has that lime green younger leaf growth look.
I’m just glad he got winter 2005, 2015 and the 2019 tornado. Lots of optimistic storms and hurricanes that James wouldn’t give up on in between. A James hurricane or winter storm will be fitting in the next year or two for sure!
I don’t get this it doesn’t happen in New England mantra on this forum. Everyone acts like once in 100 years is the New England norm. It’s really not though we are in a hurricane drought that will end at some point. 30 years without a hurricane is a long time. Please stop acting like we don’t get hurricanes because it will happen.
This was caused more by super low ratio slush snow....we get nor’easters with winds 65+ with minimal outages. This was more about the heavy weighted snow.
