Hoth

Yeah, Dorian is super impressive, but a cat 3 barreling into NE at 40-50mph wins IMO. '38 dropped billions of board-feet of timber. This pic was from the Harvard forest, way up around Worcester.

Yep, -PNA, +NAO wall to wall. Rains to Maines.

Any word from Hazey? Looks like a pretty good williwaw in his parts.

July '89 Hamden tornado and Blizzard of '93 sealed my fate as a weenie. Feb '13 blizzard, 1717 Part II in Jan/Feb 2015, Sandy, October '11, Springfield-Brimfield tornado. Maybe throw in March '12 torch for good measure.

Frankie says relax?

Good luck. What kind of wind did Juan pack?

Upton radar looks juiced. Could be a good soaker for SE sections at the least.

That place is like the seventh circle of hell for weather fanatics.

"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 He said it was the most harrowing experience of his life to that date, and only superseded overall by his experience fighting in WWII and Korea.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.

Details are pretty sketchy given the time period, but it brushed OBX before landfalling somewhere around RI with a nearly 20 foot surge. It is believed to have been a Cape Verde system, from what I understand.

Yeah based on sediment samples 1635 could've been a low end cat 4 apparently.

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.
