  1. I may curse my proximity to the water during the winter, but it can be a godsend this time of year. If we have a southerly wind component tomorrow, mid-eighties may be it for the heat.
  2. blessedly I'll be situated with four miles of chilly LI Sound water between me and the heat for the forseeable future, so bring it on! As an aside, my bro is buying a house within a stone's throw of Wawa and will for the first time have a lengthy driveway to clear come winter. Anyone have a recommendation for a good snowblower? I can also probably use him to corroborate or call bs when Lunenberg sends in a questionable report. Thanks in advance.
  3. Oh, no doubt about it. I'm sure if there were a station atop Denali, things would change PDQ.
  4. Funny that NH has a lower official wind chill record than Alaska.
  5. Hey, all novelists struggle to get their title right. Did you know Tolstoy originally wanted to call his book "War, What Is It Good For?"
  6. I grew up playing with a set of old Titleist blade irons and Persimmon woods with a pin-sized sweet spot. On the odd occasion when you made perfect contact...greatest feeling. Made you want to come back out and try your luck again. Nowadays it feels like you really have to eff up to miss.
  7. Pouring down here. Garden and grass are tropically lush.
  8. Found this footage of somebody driving in the storm in Southbury. Gets pretty hairy about 45 seconds in.
  9. Is that the Katie-Wynnewood tornado? That thing was insane.
  10. I took a drive through there just now. Todd Street is still inaccessible. The tree and wire damage in some sections is pretty extraordinary. I can only imagine how terrified my uncle was getting caught in the middle of it on Gaylord Mountain Rd.
  11. It didn't even feel all that unstable here, quite comfortable in fact. Even mid-afternoon you could feel the marine influence on the south wind. I thought for sure the storms were just gonna fall apart as they approached.
  12. Your discussion of how storms moving from elevations to valleys often tighten up seemed to bear fruit based on the NWS reports. Interesting small scale stuff.
  13. Seems like the SPC wind probability was warranted in this one.
  14. That reminds me a lot of the blowdown I saw just off 95 east of New Haven in July '89. Wow, that is so impressive.
  15. Amazing storm. Sucker was moving 100mph at one point. I went out on an errand and the storm was just moving out of Pa. I came back a half hour later with the sky darkening and a tornado warning issued and Ryan highlighting those nutty velocities. That was a real wtf moment.
  16. Wasn't there another high end wind event up in the Cheshire/Wallingford area a few years back?
  17. My neighbor's chickens got pulverized. Direct hit from a large maple.
  18. Fabulous job today, Ryan. Superb coverage. Thought I was watching KFOR
  19. Sick! Can't wait to get up there in a few weeks.
  20. We faired pretty well in my neighborhood. A few blocked streets and snapped maples and pines, but nothing on houses that I saw. Power is still on. Unfortunately, it looks like my uncle is going to spend the night at an elementary school with 20 kids and their after-school teachers, as their route out is impossibly blocked by fallen trees and crews won't be able to get in to them until tomorrow.
