  1. Biggest damage in town is a branch crashed into a donkey pen last night, and three donkeys escaped. The town is out if force trying to locate them before the coyotes do.
  2. Maybe a permanent thread entitled "Winter Sucks and I Need Negative Attention" pinned at the top would help alleviate a lot of these posts.
  3. 600 outages in CT now. 1800 in MA, mostly from New Bedford to Plymouth and points east.
  4. 52F. 1.21". Highest gust was 38mph at 4am, then dropped to calm. Shrouded in fog now. Big sustainable backside winds on the horizon now.
  5. IMBY with these type storms, it's always under on the storm winds, over on the backside NW winds.
  6. The situation/erosion might enhance the damage on Friday night/Saturday, even though that storm probably won't pack the same punch.
  7. I would love to know how one measure's snow in 100mph winds.
  8. Do you guys have to look this stuff up, or do you recall it from memory?
  9. About 5000 outages was the high in CT. Down to 3800. After 11:45, my winds went to under 5mph, just before the "line" passed by. Every model and forecast had highest winds between 1 and 4am. My peak gust was 34 around 10pm. Not a wind person, I'll take it. But lots of unhappy linemen looking to rake in some double time, i imagine. Rivers are raging, though. 2.90" plus the pack.
  10. The last 30 minutes i've been under 5mph. My top gust was 34 a few hours back.
  11. Yup.. South to west wind in 5 minutes. Only a few minutes of heavy rain...almost no wind still, though...literally under 10mph.
  12. Last 15 minutes the wind died down to 5-10mph. Just ahead of the line. Deluge just began as I type this...
  13. Calm before the front. Winds down to 8-14mph....but ready to rock again in 10.
  14. I was just outside and I thought I smelled cigar smoke.
  15. Watching the go-arounds at Newark on FlightRadar. 3 in the last 20 minutes.
  16. About 26mph sustained here, highest gust to 36. .56 liquid. Temp shot up 3 degrees in 30 minutes. 40.5F
  17. My brother has a house on the top of Jackson Highland road. What's going on up there?
  18. Agree. If someone likes the destruction, they can just light their own houses on fire or bulldoze them into the ground.
  19. Same here. Thankfully I have nothing on the property within a 1/4 mile on the east, south, and west sides. Lost three trees on the north side last year on 12/23, but they blew over to the north on southerly gusts, away from the house. You have to plant pine trees in relatively close circular clumps of 6 so that they each buffer one other from the gusts up here. Several neighbors had put them in rows for windbreaks, and they're all lost within 20 years.
  20. They're gonna get in their boats if you post this stuff.
  21. Just flipped to sleet/few flakes. 15 minutes of a nice snow, though.
  22. I was just talking to some Eversource linemen at the gas station and they said they're close to being on their own this time around. Depending on how it shakes out in Kentucky, Ohio, PA, etc, they may be able to pull some crews in on Friday. But they're not expecting much mutual aid.
