@wdrag Youre a large part of the reason I finally made an account after, literally, a decade of lurking here. There are a lot of posters here who really know their shit, and I love sitting here and absorbing the information, but when you start a thread I always take notice and so should everyone else. Thanks for everything.

We just get so many damaging wind events now it’s become…almost normal. Besides the fact I’ve lost these 5 trees, I had one destroy everything in my backyard and also hit my garage. That was from a downburst in July of 2010. Then I had another tree hit my house in August of 2019 during a severe thunderstorm, put a hole in my roof and then destroy my porch. So, understandably I’d say, I get a little anxious during these kinds of things.

I’m in Western Suffolk, not right on the water but just above Sunrise Hwy, so I’m always checking on the wind, and, especially, the gusts. I have one tree left on my property, I had 6, and I want to keep this one. I’ve already took anything in that could be damaged, but I always get nervous….wind is just so unforgiving.
-
Euro model is notorious for over estimating wind speed, right?
-
Lol. NGL though, I’d rather that than an all-day driving, windy, cold rain storm…that’s for sure.
-
God…that was exactly the answer I was hoping I would NOT get. I was hoping maybe there would be a bit of a lull in the winds at that time. Appreciate the answer.

I hope this is alright to ask in this thread…but I have a 10-mile run to do on Saturday morning which seems to fall smack dab between what Walt is talking about on Friday and this possible Sunday into Monday coastal storm. I already see the NWS calling for a low of 10 on Friday night to a “high” of 23 for Saturday. Running 10 miles is daunting enough in the first place, but can any of you tell me what the wind is gonna be like on Saturday morning? The run is in the Blue Point/Patchogue area on the South Shore of LI. Thanks in advance, I have to work until 1am the night before, so I’d like to have what clothes I’m running in, in advance.

Really coming down here in Long Beach. Couple of inches easily already down with big, fat flakes falling everywhere. Pretty stiff NNW breeze too. Chilly.
-
Actually, already snowing pretty moderately here. Ground covering quick.
-
And, just like that, snowing in Long Beach.
-
It wasn’t supposed to start until after 1 and the worst (best?) snow isn’t until after 4 or 5am, no?
-
I’m already working some overnight OT, bring it. I might get 4 straight shifts between tonight and tomorrow if this plays out right. I’m working in Long Beach now so if we can get like 5-6” min, jackpot.
-
NWS is calling for 4-8” but we’re under an Advisory. I would think that gets bumped up to a WSW no?
-
It’s definitely rained more than I expected. Doing yardwork and cleanup outside in this weather sucks.
-
I had the heat shut off. It was warm in here. You don’t expect 74 degrees in the middle of December.
-
It’s 74 degrees in my house right now. It’s about to be December 11th. That’s completely normal
-
Yep, right there with ya.
-
Line of thunderstorms entering NJ from PA looks like it means business. Give it about 2 or 3 hours to get here.
-
South Shore of LI. Muggy and warm.
-
Already getting whipping winds around my parts. Had to put some outdoor stuff away because, you know, it’s mid-December. If it’s already kicking like this at noon, I’m sure things are gonna be interesting after sundown.
-
Oh, Ho-hum just our usual potential wind damaging event of the week. Nothing to see here, carry on
-
…and March now too.
-
The wind is ridiculous right now. I’m topping 40mph on gusts easily right now. Every freaking week, another wind event. I’m so tired of it but I know it’s going nowhere.
-
2 random observations: I can’t believe there are still leaves on the trees, mid-to-late November and I can’t believe I mowed my lawn the same day we put up our Christmas tree.
-
Driving home from work about 45 minutes ago, car said it was 32. Didn’t really feel like 32, there is zero breeze, but that’s the coldest temp I’ve seen this Fall.
