    Chances are the pattern is going to flip for 4-5 weeks sooner or later. I can't see see us having wall to wall warm from 11/1-3/15...the reality is nobody wants to see a flip before early to mid December since its hard to get snow before then anyway

    The 20Z HRRR got that 02-03Z MOB forecast very close. Had 90kts at 925mb with 76kts mixing to the surface
  3. SnowGoose69
    There has definitely been several cases where its been present late November into December and flipped. 1993 was one I know of. I think it was there more or less all of November into mid December.

    Has there ever been a case of identical US landfall spots occurring with 2 storms in the same year?
  5. SnowGoose69
    EWR gusted to 70
  6. SnowGoose69
    I’m in Valley Stream. Winds have to be 70-80mph
  7. SnowGoose69
    This is one of those days the HRRR has no clue. It’s not even seeing the action currently ongoing

    Depends how many are out. If you compare it to Sandy you may get an idea. Long Island has 30% the number of outages compared to Sandy and that took 16 days although by Day 11 90% or more were back
  9. SnowGoose69
    There is no doubt winds were lower than Sandy. I guess we had more leaves off the trees than we realized because way more trees are down today but for some reason I recall that being a late foliage season. I felt winds in Merrick were 80-90 during Sandy and the obs at ISP and JFK of 94 and 75 sort of confirm that. Today was 65-75 and way more trees went down
  10. SnowGoose69
    Those Nassau ones seem way too low given the damage
  11. SnowGoose69
    Yeah if its 368K I think most are back by Day 5 but some will take 7-10, very few, but some. I think Gloria and Sandy all were over 1 million

    Only in the year 2020 could I see Isles and Rangers fans all over social media complaining they could not watch/now can't watch their team's game because of power outages...in AUGUST!

    Its just hard to get it. Most majors occur in September in that area and by then normally the environment from JAX-NC coast is not usually as good so the systems tend to weaken on that bend. The best way to get a 3 here is the 1938 setup

    NHC did not do recon then or was not doing them once north of a certain lat (I forget which). They basically said that as of 15Z as the hurricane was off the NJ shore it had winds of 130mph.. You can find these videos on youtube from TWC. It was not until months later on re-analysis they realized it was probably either 85-90 at landfall. ISP gusted to 84 mph and BDR to 96. Its believed that there was an area near William Floyd corridor where winds were 95-115 in gusts based on structural damage.
  15. SnowGoose69
    The area still has not been hit by a legit hurricane since 1985. I mean Bob went way east, Sandy was more a polar low in the mid latitudes, and Irene was a TS. I have to feel a cat 1 or 2 striking LI is coming eventually
  16. SnowGoose69
    I think the majority of the strongest winds were in a corridor of Nassau to West Suffolk. It seems less outages and damage occurred near the Queens/Nassau border and east of FRG
  17. SnowGoose69
    It was also funkily updating even when it was working. I know quite a few people who are out and were out at 1-130 and it never showed them having no power even when it was still updating
  18. SnowGoose69
    This always happens. They change the updates to once per hour because the site gets overloaded otherwise. My guess is 150-200K are probably out
  19. SnowGoose69
    Another 2 hours probably. You have to go south of a PHL/MJX line to see gusts really stop. The lowering sun angle and less mixing may help somewhat
  20. SnowGoose69
    ISP still gusting to 70 mph
  21. SnowGoose69
    Damn....serious damage down along the water to boats in Merrick and Bellmore
  22. SnowGoose69
    Definitely lower than I would have expected. I still think restoration will take a few days due to downed trees though
  23. SnowGoose69
    You can clearly see on the outage map Merrick got hit exceptionally hard for some reason
  24. SnowGoose69
    The PSEG map went from 47K out to 96K out in one 10 minute update
  25. SnowGoose69
    It looked very similar during Gloria in central or East Suffolk. Most rain was west and it was sunny out with 80-100 mph gusts
