You could be correct... The number of oaks felled for the charcoal industry was pretty amazing... Even in Burlington there was a big charcoal operation...

There's a restaurant in the middle of Norfolk, CT... they have pictures of the landscape (hill sides) taken shortly after the 38 event; nary a tree to be seen!!!

100%

Any year now I'm expecting tarantulas and scorpions to be roaming SNE! Lol

Like 99% of social media folks they just love to bitch and moan with little or no basis, other than they would always do everything better than everyone else! You were spot on, as were most of the forecasts...

Semi retirement... but given the stressful nature of that portion of my work, it feels like retirement...

Loved working with your district! In the end, it came down to too just too many clients. I was up to 115 districts, add to that a few dozen other clients and all of my forensic work something had to give! I'm at the point in my life where I wasn't looking to hire other Mets and run a multi employee business. By far the school portion of my work was the most stressful and the liabilities were worrisome. I will be dealing with winter weather clients but in a much less stressful fashion.

Lol... Which mean almost all of them (115) since I've retired that part of my business! Going to be fun winter mornings for me this year... Still lots of forecasting, but no schools...

It's the most variable parameter of all... Only a handful of solid accurate observation locations; along with tons of extremely poorly sites instruments that in no way measure true wind speed at tree top level. A simple wind analysis shows tremendous variability across very small distances; even on the same street!

Yes... Follow dew pt trends tomorrow

Widespread 45-50 mph; but with the low-level jet racing just overhead I think you can't dismiss quite a few 50+ gusts; focused on southern third of CT; coastal plain and hills of northeast and northwest CT. Playing with fire with that low-level jet making 2 passes over us... any hint of slightly destabilized low-level atmosphere, convective elements and it's off to the races. If the daylight hours Saturday stay mostly rain-free we could add some sneaky warming into the lower levels??? I know many setups under-perform, but there are some impressive items in play here. Add fully leafed trees (heavy wet leaves), and things could go south quickly, unless everything shifts south.

I think so...

46 mph here

Agree

I guess if OKX says it, it must be true; lol

Peak here (~1,200') 38 mph

Thanks Steve... I have been following the data on your page, which is great, but wasn't sure actual maps were available anywhere?

What is the general list of parameters available from weathernext3?

You took the words right out of my mouth... I was going to post the exact thing several times over the past couple of days, but said screw it... Folks were more excited about cheering on STEIN than enjoying a complex evolution of a potent Nor'easter. The constant "meh" stuff has gotten beyond old... To be successful on this board all you need to do is type any of the 3 words / terms; torch, Stein or meh...

Agree John... It's not something that can be easily incorporated into the winter forecast, but given climate trends and an increasing frequency of excessive precipitation events, it certainly deserves a bolded footnote!

Exactly... While arctic sand / powder storms might be hard to come by, ante is upped for slush bombs?

I'm ok with that... Overall a great early fall Goldilocks pattern; not too warm; not too cold, not too wet and not too dry... Certainly not extreme... A little boring for sure but with the likelihood of an active East Coast winter, I'm ok with boring right now...

Agree...

I might be misreading it, but that shows a 6-week anomaly total for most of New England in the -0.5 to -1.0 inch range. Certainly not anything overly concerning? Instead of ~4 inches of rain over the next 6 weeks, most get 3.0 to 3.5 inches? Assuming that product is close to accurate, which is always iffy.

Ain't that the sad truth!!!
