1/13/24 Sultan Slicer #2 - Heavy rain, snow, wind?
Snugharbor replied to Torch Tiger's topic in New England
We had a blast of 60-70 mph winds down here in southern RI about an hour ago. Westerly Airport was 65, hit 70 at Conimicut Point. Shook the house and uprooted a big tree at our neighbors near by. Goes to show this may have been tagged as a "Wind Advisory" but it delivered far more than the HWW of the previous two events. Must've just been in the right spot. 10K without power also in RI mostly down here but somehow we've managed to avoid an outtage...thankfully. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk- 262 replies

Kudos to you! In RI the outtages are so far decidedly away from the coast. Gust to 59 at Conimucut in Warwick. Seems to have an extra kick away from the shore so far. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk -
Wake Me Up When September Ends..Obs/Diso

Figured I'd dig out one more old hurricane special from the VHS archive before the season is kaput...enjoy the Almacs and Benny's footage if nothing else -
If anyone wants to relive past glories, I've been uploading some old weather vids and just dug out my Hurricane Bob special which WJAR ran a few weeks later back in 91. Some forecasting talk late in the hour, but mostly lots of archival footage for those of us who remember...

Sitting in the dryslot in coastal RI. Sun now punching its way out with pedestrian SE wind, 39 degrees. Hasn't even rained since mid morning. Enjoying all of your reports at least!!

OBS/DISCO - The Historic James Blizzard of 2022
Snugharbor replied to TalcottWx's topic in New England
Satellite looking that impressive to you guys? Lots of precip looks like it's heading well off shore which I think is what Ryan mentioned earlier Friday. About 1-1.5 here in Wakefield, light snow, some wind kicks up every now and then , but nothing really that remarkable... yet. -
I grew up on the southernmost end of the "Foster Glocester No School" zone of northern RI and even there the 80s were like this. So many nights I'd go to bed with expectations of a 3-6 storm and no school, only to wake up with literally nothing on the ground. Yes it was a different time back then in terms of school closures, and yes there were a couple of times when we'd get something and my Mom would refuse to drive me to school (we had a 20 minute drive into Providence), but make no mistake -- I had literally 0 snow days from 7th grade until I graduated high school (87-93) in Providence. Not a single one. As soon as I left the pattern changed the following winter!

It is. Reminds me of numerous snow storms since I've been following this board. Before that, growing up, I always thought my mom was just kidding when she said Narragansett Bay had an odd effect on the weather!
-
No kidding. Most of SK is out here. Trees down everywhere. But this board is very much like that, if it doesn't happen to them they don't give a bleep. Luckily the surge was one non event I will gladly take every time.

Must be interacting with the colder water because the eye is starting to lose its definition. Also seems to be tilting NW from the last few frames also. It might clip LI after all if that is actually a real trend.
