No one's trolling, 40-45mph gusts looks to be the most reasonable forecast for NW of Boston. BOX agrees with that, at least as of earlier this AM. There is obviously potential for higher winds, so we'll see what happens.
You are taking the over on winds, then. BOX with a measly wind advisory, P&C has ~40mph winds max. The discussion is pretty meh, also. 50mph would be pretty impressive...at least I think so.
I don't want to correlate northern mountain sub-climate with SNE populations, you could be right. In fact I'm going with a decent winter for NNE resorts.
