    Yeah probably 2004ish. Time flies.

    I said a lot without saying anything lol

    Pretty big shift east from 12z to 18z on the GEFS.

    I did have a snow map ready to go. Pulled it at the last minute. Will revive at 11.... maybe.

    And basically 0" in the winter storm watch zone. Challenging forecast.
  6. CT Rain
    Even better
  7. CT Rain
    In the 3km NAM we trust.

    Unless the federal government steps up to pay bars/restaurants/etc to stay closed (which of course they should) and keep their employees whole I'm not sure what can be done.

    Yeah, we're in a very bad place. There's also no appetite for shutdowns like we had in March which will make this that much harder. Thankfully outcomes are better with better treatments but man it's not going to pretty.

    For sure. I mean everyone I know with an IKON or EPIC pass is 100% expecting to ski in VT this winter. Not even contemplating not going.

    I'm willing to bet in a couple Fridays the endless stream of black SUVs with NY/NJ/CT plates will be racing up I-91. I can't imagine that the ski areas are expecting compliance with this otherwise why even open for the year? Have to imagine most of the revenue from the bigger resorts is from out of state guests who would not be able to quarantine in most situations.

    Oh wow - figured it was bad. You can track the RFD surge from the Farm River in North Branford/Foxon right over Snake Hill and then down toward Tisko off Damascus Rd. Did you ever get your drone up?
  14. CT Rain
    Yeah I imagine Snake Hill is an absolute mess. I'm also wondering how it is over by the Supply Ponds... the core of the strongest wind went from Snake Hill right over the Supply Ponds and then down through Damascus Rd near Tisko. Let me know what you see - I'd love to take a look!

    I was out on the Sound Sunday and saw the damage from the water. The most impressive damage was just west of you over the Thimbles where there were a number of snapped flag poles, snapped/uprooted trees, etc. Lots of debris in the water including flipped over docks, limbs, etc. What a mess. Glad you're OK.

    I drove around Branford yesterday and the damage is remarkable. Widespread 80-100 mph gusts with snapped stands of hardwood trees, some structural damage, etc. Have to imagine it's the worst damage in town since at least Hurricane Gloria. What struck me overall was the pretty much continuous damage path from Bethany to Hamden to North Haven and then North Branford/Foxon/Branford. One of the most impressive swaths of widespread damage I can recall outside of a significant tornado in New England.
  17. CT Rain
    It was in time for Branford but definitely late for Bethany and Hamden.

    Here's our coverage as the storms moved into the New Haven area. Pretty impressive live shots from Hamden and New Haven in there too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yow0-a_YDe0

    Yeah, looks like straight line wind damage to me. Radar matched what I saw on the ground very well... narrow path that reached max strength over North Haven followed by the circulation occluding and a hellacious RFD surge southeast of there. I don't really like the NWS classification of microbursts... this was just a really wide swath of RFD damage.

    I wrote about the storm in my blog if anyone's interested. https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/weather-news/on-ryans-radar/august-27-tornado-event/2325826/

    Looks like it was a meteotsunami in Long Island Sound.
  22. CT Rain
    We mentioned Leete's Island and Stony Creek a few times on air this afternoon - was a wild looking storm down that way.
  23. CT Rain
    Well that was quite a day
  24. CT Rain
    Seems like the convection between ALB and BGM is going to help at least temporarily keep the warm front south as it moves toward CT.
  25. CT Rain
    Yeah, that's not great.
