  1. We've hit 41 and 42 knots on separate occasions so far. You can't be much farther off that.
  2. Not going to show much. Need echoes to estimate a velocity. I still think the core misses you to the east but you might see a little secondary peak in winds here in the next hour.
  3. I really wish we had done more after-action on that event. I know our forecasts could've been better leading into the event (ramped up late on Saturday or early Sunday IIRC) and I'm not sure how well it was communicated once we starting honking.
  4. Like I have my eye on that thin line of enhanced reflectivity moving towards BID. BOX V product suggesting winds increasing sharply behind it.
  5. Kind of cool seeing how well modeled this "lull" in strong wind gusts has been. The hi-res guidance shows it, the 925 LLJ forecasts show a brief reorganization. Sure enough the gusts aren't quite as extreme as the last couple of hours. But the guidance all insists that things start going to town again in another hour or two.
  6. Ekster and I were noting that too. Warm front moving fast too. FIT jumped 10 in the last hour.
  7. 62 knots at Buzzards Bay buoy, and 52 knots in the Bay at Conimicut Light.
  8. That one is pretty widely referred to the worst in memory for the time, and then 1998 the worst "since 1921".
  9. Curled up under the blankets with some Tree House reading old Monthly Weather Reviews.
  10. Sure I'll be dead calm while you play naked Twister on the picnic tables.
  11. As the Men in Blazers always put it, the sky is so much closer to the ground in the north (of England but the same applies).
  12. We have been arguing to shrink the size of the severe drought each update, but so far we've only been able to trim on the margins.
  13. Indeed. Though there isn't much severe about the conditions in my backyard.
  14. I remember being in the wrong places at the right times that winter. Missed Christmas 2002 storm while I was raining at home, and then again with the Jan 3-4 storm after I had come back to RI from skiing.
  15. I definitely had some clunkers growing up in Barrington, but the 32" at Lowell in 2006-2007 was one of my worst.
  16. I did okay for my four years, 100", 73", 79", and 43". And the 43" year was kind of a blur anyway.
  17. From what I've read it's the support cells (not the ones actually responsible for smell) that are susceptible to COVID infection. Inflammation of these cells leads to the loss of smell. Also interesting is that it appears to be the most common and first reported symptom in the majority of cases, so probably a better screener than fever or cough.
  18. Your last/my first year on the hill delivered though. That's still the only 100" season at any placed I've lived.
