CC drop west of Hackelburg as well.

Haven’t posted in a while, hope everyone is staying safe. Up in North Conway for a week of snowboarding, currently -16 with winds still cranking. Looks like Portland just broke there all time wind chill record for what it’s worth. From the GYX discussion earlier.. After sifting through our old paper book records, a -43 degree wind chill from 1971 appears to be the record to beat in Portland, at least since 1948.

Ya Ian more then doubled it. Think I saw it get to 7.84 at one point. That gauge is up the river some ways as well. Wouldn’t be surprised if the surge was quite a bit higher right on Fort Meyers beach looking at the damage. Its early but dare I say this might become the third costliest hurricane in US history behind Katrina and Harvey once all is said and done? Such a sad situation. I love experiencing some extreme weather but man is it nice living in New England where we are pretty immune to catastrophic events… edit: looks like 8.57 was the unofficial peak

Haven’t seen much from there. Looking at obs winds were out of the N or NE all day so surge shouldn’t of been an issue. They got some hurricane force gusts however. https://w1.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KSRQ.html

Im so confused by this post. Storm surge is exactly what Fort Myers is experiencing. Punta Gorda got blasted by those backside eyewall winds but looks like they avoided significant surge. Also that video you posted has “City of Naples” written on the side of the door of the fire truck. People need to stop trusting these twitter posts from random accounts without verification.

Huh? At least Camille went over western Cuba but the track similarities end there. Not many good analogs to go off of here in modern record keeping.

Scorching hot at my parents place in Hampton right by I-95 when I picked up the dog after work. A beautiful 80-85 right on the coast at my apartment a few miles away. Pretty crazy temperature gradient.

NH seacoast delivers again

Getting hit pretty good here. Possible micro burst just north of me. That lowering was really surging as it passed by me.

Pretty much the main reason I do all my snowboarding in ME and NH. VT mountains are a bitch to get to from the seacoast. Beautiful day here in Hampton with some nice 3ft waves. Might have to take the surfboard out for the first time this year now that the waters slightly warmer.

Waterville is a good mountain. I should be there as well for the demo. Maybe we’ll have to meet up for a beer and a lap.

Wait George isn’t on board? Is hell freezing over? Im happy as long as this stays snow for the ski areas. Conditions are good up there right now.

My driveway is either bare ground or a 4 foot drift.

5+ hours of blizzard conditions now, .06mi visibility I couldn’t tell you if I got 15 inches of snow or 25 with the wind and drifting.

Another one from Hampton. Got to be pushing 2-3” / hr now.

Quick video from my place in Hampton NH

Same at KPSM. Complete whiteout here on the coast of NH, not even going to bother and try a measure with the wind. Grass exposed in some areas and 3 foot drifts in others…

No snow here, but some serious coastal flooding in Hampton. Worst I’ve seen it in two years.

Yikes.

TOR warning in Maine. Looks pretty impressive on radar. Wouldn’t be surprised at all if it’s on the ground. Looks to have lofted some debris in the air on CC.

Looks like I’m in a pretty good spot today. Might take a drive over towards Manchester/Derry NH later if I’m done with work in time. That area could be nice, they typically get it good around there. Then again the seacoast is nice for the unrestricted views... Mesoscale Discussion 1754 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1059 AM CDT Wed Sep 15 2021 Areas affected...portions of MA...NH and ME Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely Valid 151559Z - 151800Z Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent SUMMARY...Thunderstorms will increase in coverage and intensity through the afternoon. Damaging wind gusts and some hail will be the main hazards. A severe thunderstorm watch will likely be needed by 18z. DISCUSSION...Convection is increasing ahead of a cold front near the Canadian border at midday. Stronger heating across southern New England to the south/west of a surface warm front has allowed for more rapid destabilization compared to much of ME, which remains under heavy stratus. As the upper trough shifts northeast through the afternoon, and the cold front slowly advances east/southeast, the warm front will lift northeast across ME. This will allow surface dewpoints from the mid 60s to near 70 F to overspread much of New England, and MLCAPE is forecast to increase to around 500-1500 J/kg by mid-afternoon. Strong vertical shear is already in place over the region, with effective shear magnitudes greater than 40 kt evident in regional VWP data. Deep-layer southwesterly flow parallel to the surface front will support mainly lines/bowing segments with damaging wind gusts being the main hazard expected through this evening. However, southerly near-surface winds will contribute to somewhat enlarged low-level hodographs. Rich boundary-layer moisture also will support stronger 0-3 km instability from southern portions of VT/NH into far southern ME/northern MA. A tornado or two could occur across this area, especially if any more discrete cellular activity can persist.
