    2020 may go down as one of the strongest winter-summer +EPO couplets. It will be interesting to see if this means we are switching back to a more +EPO regime like we had before 2013. The +EPO combined with the +NAO to produce a mild and snowless winter. This summer it was the heat ridge axis centered to our north getting undercut by tropical moisture.

    Can’t wait for all those GEFS day 35 snowstorm posts on social media next winter.

    Isaias was the first tropical cyclone to peak at category 1 to cause so much wind damage and power outages in our area. All our other tropical systems since at least the 1970s that caused so much damage peaked as a major hurricane and weakened by the time they reached our area. This event was the first to reach us near peak intensity.

    Plenty of tropical moisture under that big Hudson Bay block. So the end result was a very sharp rainfall gradient.

    The record SSTs combined with the trough interaction allowed for much of the LLJ to mix down east of the center. Models did a very good job indicating those steep low level lapse rates and damaging wind gust potential.

    This is exactly how the tree behind my place blew down.

    I just got my power back on. A large tree fell over right behind my place. At first, the tree began dropping very big branches. I was out on my back patio when I noticed the sidewalk lifting around the base of the tree. 30 seconds later it blew down around the time FRG got that 78 mph gust. We were very fortunate that the tree fell right between two houses with about three feet of clearance. These were my strongest winds in SW Suffolk since I moved out here in 2015.

    Just had a very large tree blow down near me here in SW Suffolk. Had about 30 seconds advanced warning when I could see the sidewalk lifting first. Luckily, it fell between 3 houses without out damaging them.
