That’s some hellacious lift right through the heart of CT.

Thundersnow!

So not a soul would have survived if the path was different?  

 

Got it. 

A nuclear weapon is unsurvivable and yet there were a few people who survived Hiroshima and Nagasaki improbably. A pyroclastic flow is unsurvivable and yet one person survived one in Martinique in 1902.

 

The exceptions don’t disprove the rule.

Debating if I want to do BDL tomorrow or go towards SW CT. Just tough to find good areas with wide open views down there. Could do Newtown...there's a few spots I know. Danbury is a no-no given the COVID spike. 

Route 133 in Bridgewater.  700+ ASL.  Plus incredible vistas to the south and west. Unbeatable for watching incoming.

In NJ .. not sne 

But no “trouble” here.

 

(And my little slice of SNE actually is within 70 miles of NYC )

Remnants
Walt Drag made a thread about it in the NYC subforum.

2 things: Walt’s thinking as laid out in that thread is dependent upon the center of the remnant low passing within 70 miles of (in his case) NYC. Also, he doesn’t indicate that this will be “trouble” (other than maybe for marine interests), but rather an opportunity for much needed rainfall.

A bad grid in a wooded area from 50-70mph winds is not a good example. 

I am not as enthusiastic about these storms as I once was. I’ll leave it at that as I don’t want to get into the “is it bad to hope for a Cat 4 in SNE” type discussion. But, suffice it to say, even the 50-60kts we saw here was sufficient to do a lot of damage. And I don’t see CT cutting down all the trees or burying the electric service anytime soon...

I should've checked before posting.  Hanna (80) and Isaias (85) are the only ones with winds above 65 mph, and the current pair aren't likely to join those two.  Meh.  In fact, other than the post-equinocal snows, the past 12 months have been one long meh. 

The 1,000,000+ people who lost power in Connecticut, NY and NJ from Isaias would beg to differ.
