14" in Gray, ME. Starting to slow to nothing now finally.

Biggest issue in Gray, ME right now is there is NO wind, nothing to blow/shake it off the limbs, keeps piling and piling. Can hear cutoffs blowing all around me. Lots of flicking but I'm still on, for now.

GYX has an hour-by-hour chart of winds for many sites in its CWA, and for our area the strongest winds come with CAA and continue into tomorrow evening.  Only ~40 gusts compared to the 50+ in Dec, but they're from the NW and may pick out some trees partially tipped by the stronger SE winds back then.  Bad winter for the woodlot. 

CMPCO is all over it.... I'm not expecting much, just some breeze pushing the car around on the way to work.

Bright echoes are mixing aloft.

About and inch or so I see here in Gray... still coming down pretty heavy... sad to see that all about to go away......

28F, just starting to snow, dead calm.

it's almost go time!!

Wind numbers for my area starting to finalize. Looks like not much beyond the immediate coast here in ME, CMPCO will still mange to just about blackout the whole state probably...

GYX dropped a bunch of the high wind watches they had out this morning. Euro continues to show gusts only along the immediate coast. Will still cause some issues, rain looks to be the biggest factor, another 3" pouring...

Can we pin this so folks see it and post in it instead of the Jan thread ?

I didn't even know we had a 'screamer thread' until somebody pointed it out in the Jan thread lol.

Euro keeping it coast only... in Maine anyway.

Good thing Trees are only 3 meters

10 meters is around 30 feet... I have plenty of pines around me wayyy more than 30feet...

Yea looks like VT takes the brunt with downsloping. But Maine coast could get whacked. Inversion holds? Hopefully 

Euro keeps the gusts VERY coastal....

Thanks for the map... I don't think GYX buys it yet. They put out this map, and in their discussion he states the low level jet is going to keep inland from seeing very high gusts.

As it stands now that looks to be more inland with 60s and 70s than the christmas storm?

Wind!!

Can we see this for more of Maine as well, please? I don't have a sub to anything that'll give me wind gust maps. Looks like 60 in Portland area... Wonder if this won't be much for us, but more for CT, RI and Mass??

Need to take a measurement but looks like a foot on the tonneau of the truck here in Gray ME

 Looks like we may over perform estimates here!

Most of Maine is in trouble again . Hopefully they prepare this time and get out of state crews in 

CMP I know didn't bring anybody in until after it was already underway/after the fact. Depending on rain flooding was by far the more consequential thing from the pre-xmas storm. Up by camp in Rangeley there is a lot of damage.

Don't have anything I can see 10m gusts on, but next Wednesday looks interesting... 

GFS shaping up for another good thump on the 10th.

They say mine is out... replied "On" *shrug*

158,000+ CMP outages. Still an hour to go or so of gusts here.

Euro is east, sell the wind threat

Tropical tidbits is having issues was trying to see for myself so I could shed a tear...

Agree to disagree... I would confidently predict, far more damage has occurred over the decades during the cold season from gradient driven northwest backside winds than southeast flow events.  Especially inland zones.  Not trying to Debbie downer and think this one has some decent support...

Do the heavy rains and soft ground change things? If the ground was frozen I don't think there'd be much concern for damage

Euro is meh cept of course outer Cape.

Still looks like 50-55 up here in Maine… with soft ground and that wind direction that’ll do some damage

Hoping for some rain pain (3-6") to loosen up soil/roots, easier to take 'em down

After the last one didn't pan out I have a feeling they won't be so apt to bring in line crews to hang out for nothing again... lines could be down for a while this time

We are over by Crystal Lake in Gray and have noticed it flicker a times.  I  thought we had some electrical gremlins in the house.

I'm on Gray FD. Something came down on Yarmouth RD and I think whatever was frying over there made the whole area flicker before Yarmouth RD tripped out. Looking at wind maps now I'd say that's about the most action we'll see
