I always laugh when folks say can you imagine if this would have been all snow? I go yeah, If my aunt had balls she would have been my uncle too.

Not sure if that's in response to my post, but I understand why you can't make that comparison.  T'Was a (poor) attempt at self-depicting humor.

And in other 'senseless tragedy' news.  Wx community losses one of their own despite numerous red flags.

Nope. Turns out my 4"x4" post that I planted in a bucket of cement 10yrs ago finally rotted. Wx station went tumbling down.

Ouch, that does stink.

2.85" in the 8 incher.  I usually don't use it for non-frozen, but - let's be honest - this is the most liquid it'll see all winter.

6.66" of rain since this post

This needs to be a quote tweet.  What a donk.

well, I'm not sure what my total will be since my weatherlink live stopped communicating at 11:27. Since there is no data logger like my old console unit, any rain falling after 11:27am is not retrievable.

Stratus ftw

what's pwm total right now? gotta be over 3"

would be surprised.  i'm sitting at around 2.25" about 3mi from the jetport.  This last slug coming up might do it though.

Yeah, it's like halfway there now.

I went out for lunch during that .. drenched from restaurant door to the car, wind blowing the rain sideways.  Felt like one of those reporters in a hurricane.

it was straight up tropical for about 20 minutes there. seeing quite a few reports of trees down and urban flooding.  Nothing "wild" or memorable per se but definitely notable.

Tough when you come in at midnight. Nobody is going out to save their tomatoes then.

30.6F off a low of 30.0F

My pepper plants would like a word with your people.

90% of their frost area will not have frost tonight. This is classic low lying fake radiation stuff . Hills will be either side of 40

Agree on that part.  I fit that description and have hit 35°F twice this year, neither with a frost.

Already down to 39.7°F, with a dew of 33, so we'll see.

That is shrinkage 

I guess I'm just well endowed acclimated.

58/51

Not quite at the full shrinkage stage yet as Casco Bay is still very swimmable, at least from the beach.  Guessing water temp around 58F?

70/51 COC city.

When I was down there last fall the whole place seemed like it would flood with water given 5+ foot increase in water.  I’m sure many areas are 10-20 feet up but just has that “barrier island” vibe.

Without having visited myself, this was my thought as well.  I strongly encouraged them to leave today, especially since they're only planning on staying until Saturday anyways.  They said "we'll park the car in a high spot".  Ok, good luck with that.

I have family who drove from MA to Hilton Head, SC earlier in the week.  Saying they're going to ride it out.  How likely is it they won't be able to drive home due to a flooded out vehicle?

Current surge forecast is 4-6ft.

then it would just go over the swampy everglades with not much weakening and crush Miami....pick your poison

LOL, my coworker evacuated Anna Marie island yesterday to Miami.  That would be...something.

Based on current guidance, what areas are of most concern for storm surge?

TIA

Last similar one before 38 was the colonial hurricane.  These things only happen once every few hundred years. 

Mother Nature:  "oh would you look at that!  It's only been 84 years, better cancel what I had in store for SNE.  Need to wait another hundred years. Drat."

SST's are above average even up this latitude. If there is ever a chance at breaking the Atlantic Canada all time low pressure, this is it.  

Is Halifax/NS as woefully unprepared for a storm like this as New England is?
