Hoth

"The Day Without Power". That could be your next novel, dude!

lol, that hits me right where I live.

Does anything he does surprise us anymore? Dude manipulates the stock market five times a day.

Cough.

If this were January, you know a certain someone would be in here saying it was a certainty. Latent heat release pumping the heights, WAR flexing, +PNA straight to Alaska and so on

Let the Great Patriots Blackout of 2019 commence!

HMON is a wicked soaka.

Road trip to ACK? Looks like a solid storm out there.

Baroclinic assist up here with the interaction with the trough most likely.

Sandy bottomed at like 939-940, for perspective. 1938 was 938mb I believe.

A lot of the Euro ensembles were that low this morning. Quite possible with an injection of baroclinic juice.

A family friend of ours grew up on the northern shore of Long Island and actually took the ferry across to Bridgeport just as it was starting to get bad, on his way to boarding school at Deerfield. He said it was the most harrowing experience of his life to that date, and only superseded overall by his experience fighting in WWII and Korea. He thought the boat was going to sink the chop was so bad, and his chauffeur was so scared he was crying as they drove up the road to Hartford. Presumably, the eye passed right over or just west of him. Anyway, hell of a storm and something none of us is likely to see a repeat of.

Man, some very intense members in there.

Happy hunting, dude!

I want my PRE. I was promised one from that POS last week and it did not deliver. I want Dorian to keep my grass growing and my mower busy until December.

No sleep for a week before something like that.

Chunks of granite just flying off the mountainside and pancaking houses in N Conway, like giants playing a game of marbles. Epic.

I'm just morbidly curious what kind of numbers the Mt Washington observatory would put up in a scenario like that.

My god what a disaster the end of that run was. Like 8+" of rain softening up the ground before the wind takes it all down. Thank goodness it's just a fantasy. That's how James loses his Patriots season.

Four months? Do you have a Venezuelan power grid?

Yeah, Hazey catches a smack on that run. Note that GFS has been trending farther off shore the last few runs though.

Lol, my earliest recollection of a tropical bust. I was twelve and remember everyone was talking about a hurricane coming. I was so excited, and subsequently so crushed, when Edouard fished.

Solid tropical storm conditions on the Cape verbatim, along with like 6-8" of rain. ACK pushing hurricane force. Not buying it yet, but we should keep an eye on the extent of western ridging and the strength of that shortwave/trough orientation going forward. Perhaps we can get a bit of a PRE after all after last week's tease.

Man, those poor people have been getting raked. Brutal.

Agreed. Gotta watch that and trough orientation, as Tippy mentioned earlier. Not expecting anything, but it's quite a spectacle regardless.
