Also your wsw had 4-7" forecast for Bow which will probably verify towards the lower end. I never saw any forecast calling for 10" def not from nws.

Final mow to get rid of leaves completed. Hoping tomorrow marks the beginning of continuous snow cover for awhile.

October Discussion: Bring the Frost-Hold the Snow
bobbutts replied to 40/70 Benchmark's topic in New England
Yeah, seems it was felt over all of SNH and into MA and ME. It was within a few minutes of 11:25. -

@dendrite Did you feel/hear a big bang around 45 mins ago? Any idea what it was? -
Easiest forecasts to make in NE without even looking at any guidance are: "drought will end soon" and "not a direct hit from that tropical system".

I'd like to hear much about this Jokko guy in the main thread.

Turn to the north that people were looking for hasn't materialized yet.

Alive.... for now

Wish it was higher resolution.

No, Morgerman's hotel which is currently high and dry, not the grand isle stream.

If he dies, it better be during the live stream.

Found the spot. 9' asl per google earth.

Their site has an overlay map at https://www.severestudios.com/ You can see the cam locations and the radar on the map.

Not downplaying it but hopefully the late bloom will limit the surge some.

I remember seeing the decaying appearance on satellite and posting something along the lines of New Orleans dodging the bullet and getting lucky. I was thinking about the winds and not the overall situation. We still seem to obsess over top wind speeds and barely discuss surge.

Sure are plenty of expensive homes and businesses there. In terms of loss of life and loss of homes for people who don't own 6 of them I worry about the gulf coast more.

Back in the 80's we had a converted Chevy Van 20 (still remember the badge). The engine died after 20k or 30k and they would not warranty it. I don't remember what happened in the end but my dad and then by extension me never bought another GM vehicle after that.
-
Ouch.. IIRC they have had a 10 year warranty covering those years. That's pretty crazy, usually the warranty is timed to run out before common major issues like that.

If we're competing for longest outage I'll put in my entry. Was out over a month in FL for Charlie. It absolutely sucked for the couple days we stayed there, so hot and humid and still and ultra buggy and fire ants outside. We didn't stick around for it though. Luckily was able to borrow a snowbird's condo on the other side of the state. Of course loss of life and injury is the worst and destruction of property comes after that but extended outages are definitely not fun. Also note that it's a freaking mess on the roads when there are no traffic lights.
-
That would indicate that it used to be a good hurricane. This thing is more like Sam Darnold.

Based on past mistakes I tend to avoid forecasting and poo pooing storms before the impact is known, but It truly looks like crap at the moment. Gloria was 145mph and Bob was 115 before they started weakening and both moved faster than this is forecast to. The slow speed logically would mean that there may be big rainfall totals, but that appears to be setting up west of our area if at all. If the bar is for widespread power outages and small flooding in SNE this will probably clear it, but beyond that seems very doubtful.

Time to upgrade the thread title.
-
Best time to buy is right after you suffer through an outage.
-
Same recollection on the North Shore. Gloria did a bunch of tree damage and power was out for days.
