Hoth Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Wow, just confirmed my initial suspicions about that close lightning strike the other night. The house did take a hit. Blew off a chunk of vinyl by the garage door and knocked a little hole in the asphalt. Small burn marks in the vinyl too. Thank god it wasn't a stronger hit!

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Close call man. I fear light strikes ever since I was 20 yards away from a ground hit a few years back. I hate severe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet the main bolt was close by, but I think if that were the main bolt, you would have a much bigger hole. Be glad that was it. Jeez. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#NoPoles Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 When i was 17, i was in my kitchen watching a storm come in. I was home alone and the lightning was insane, i was actually terrified. A step leader hit the gutter above the kitchen window. The initial flash was pinkish purple, but the final flash was orangy. I almost died. The power went off for a moment. One of our TVs was damaged- the main color of the picture when the tv was turned on was green. I called the non emegency police number and they sent someone over to do an outdoor and indoor inspection. Thankfully there was no structural damage or electrical damage except the one tv. Never want to be that close to lightning again 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 56F and sunny out at midday at the base of the ski resort. Breezy and everyone is wearing jackets lol. Looks like the valley is at 59/38 for the 12pm obs. The visibility is insane though. Just crystal clear as far as you can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Looks like widespread dews in the 30s now in the North Country. SLK even got down to a 33F dew already. They'll get a hard freeze tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see a hard freeze (28 or lower) coming tonight though as the probability is <10% of it happening this early in the season with the average date being 9/25.

Cloudy skies and low dews make it feel really cool out there. Just created a fall NNE thread, time to move into the next season. Really looking forward to a good soaker early next week.

moneypitmike Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 60.6* at 1:20. Been a while since we've experienced this. My guess is that fall will arrive like spring did this year. The winter that just kept on going with nothing blooming/leafing until May and then all hell broke lose. The good news with that was no one needed to mow until 3+ weeks after they'd typically start.

BrianW Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Was just looking at the goes 16 loop. Man are the clouds moving fast and you can see the jet stream nicely. Was looking at the flightradar24 plane tracking website and jets are showing a 200kts tailwind heading to Europe. Many are flying at 700+ mph.
