Maybe so. That does not explain downed trees in the interior I sure hope you’re safe. OKX issued an advisory. I look at it the 10 meter ASOs gust as roughly crown height. Broken branch dead or not. causes problem. Crosswind gusts are unsafe for many aircraft. Delays etc. Folks get unhappy with delays and then act irrationally. In Some cases. Impatience caused actions when plans are unexpectedly altered.

Imo UPTON is conservative most of the time. Forecaster decision making and local office policy. Not sure how they verify. All I know. Writing it in an AFD doesn’t verify. Public product does. Warning Advisory verification does! That’s what I and others rely upon. If the 10A reports are the only ones for our area today then they verified with those reports outliers. maintain safety vigilance in strong gusty areas next 12 hours

sighhh.... maybe something will emerge prior to Dec 7, but for now am not excited by any possibility of a widespread 2+" snowfall for the I84 corridor . Ensembles are dead through Dec 1 and it will probably take awhile for the pattern to become more favorable after that. Oh well... guess all we have is a couple of episodes of scattered gusts 45+ MPH to witness for the rest of this month. Sort of boring and uninspiring for decorating but good weather to occasionally clean up outside. Need to add the hop in the step via our own heart. I added on at 752AM... that second week in Dec is our typical NYC CP first measurable. still a sigh... not like it used to be here in nw NJ.
