    IMBY with these type storms, it's always under on the storm winds, over on the backside NW winds.

    The situation/erosion might enhance the damage on Friday night/Saturday, even though that storm probably won't pack the same punch.

    I would love to know how one measure's snow in 100mph winds.
  4. Patrick-02540
    Do you guys have to look this stuff up, or do you recall it from memory?

    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.

    The last 30 minutes i've been under 5mph. My top gust was 34 a few hours back.

    Yup.. South to west wind in 5 minutes. Only a few minutes of heavy rain...almost no wind still, though...literally under 10mph.
  8. Patrick-02540
    Last 15 minutes the wind died down to 5-10mph. Just ahead of the line. Deluge just began as I type this...
  9. Patrick-02540
    Calm before the front. Winds down to 8-14mph....but ready to rock again in 10.

    I was just outside and I thought I smelled cigar smoke.

    Watching the go-arounds at Newark on FlightRadar. 3 in the last 20 minutes.
  12. Patrick-02540
    About 26mph sustained here, highest gust to 36. .56 liquid. Temp shot up 3 degrees in 30 minutes. 40.5F

    My brother has a house on the top of Jackson Highland road. What's going on up there?
  14. Patrick-02540
    Agree. If someone likes the destruction, they can just light their own houses on fire or bulldoze them into the ground.

    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.

    They're gonna get in their boats if you post this stuff.

    Just flipped to sleet/few flakes. 15 minutes of a nice snow, though.
  18. Patrick-02540
    Good burst of snow erupted about 10 minutes ago.

    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.
  20. Patrick-02540
    Maybe less wind at the surface, as i have been told.

    He was a welding fabricator, so it came natural to him. Nice not to have support posts in the garage. It's a 38x90 open space. The 2x8 walls is overkill, for sure. But I appreciate it.
  22. Patrick-02540
    I agree. I'm on the top of a hill at about 940' and was out for three days after the 12/23/22 wind storm, and for 2 days a few weeks back. The previous owner built the house in 2003 with 24" steel i-beams and 2x8 exterior wall construction. I thought that was ridiculous until I lived here for a few months.
  23. Patrick-02540
    Thank you!! I get it.
  24. Patrick-02540
    Who wants to educate me? How does a snowpack limit winds from reaching the surface? Thks in advance.
  25. Patrick-02540
    9" final.
