HFD gusts to 58 is just one tiny example. You must live in a cave 

We did have a couple strong gusts about 5:30 am, but nothing we don't see in a thunderstorm. They didn't last long

I will say 53kts MHT was definitely overperforming. 

Yeah that's pretty impressive. Might have been aided by convective cells earlier. Lots of reports of stuff down between here and Manchester. I have power, but can hear the hum of gennys in the distance.

I think for CT broadly this is a significant/major event given some of the wind and coastal flooding. It’s not over yet, either, with the Arctic front.

Don’t think it’s memorable (yet) though. 

Memorable is hard to do. To me that denotes an all-timer with a defining feature. Buffalo? That’s memorable. 

For some areas sure…but it hasn’t been impressive here at all, in fact run of the mill. What is a lil more impressive is this rain…it’s filled back in, and continues. 
 

For those areas that got it good, I can understand.  But no power loss here..yet, and no problems on the roads yet either. 
 

Maybe round 2 will get us?

GFS is over 50-60kt gusts in SE MA later.

Yeah, I hear ya. That’s one of the things about wx that’s so interesting. One area can get smoked, and very nearby another area is meh. 

Until this morning’s wind woke me up, the only thing I followed with this was the front. I think that’ll be a cool experience. We’ll see. 

[J Paul Gordon]

Woke up in the night to some scary blasts here. I thought they were going to take my bird feeders (things weigh about ten pounds each without food so probably closer to fifteen with food). Just pouring now temp 55F/13C

[klw]

We lost power at home around 7:45 am.  Still out.  We lost power for 3 days last weekend and phone/internet for 5 days.  Hopefully it will be a faster fix this time around.

 

Edit:  I just checked the outage page and we are not on it anymore,  hopefully that means it is back on.

Reedit:  false hope, the outage is back on the list

At least half of the town was without power last time I peeked. Hopmeadow was shut down, Bushy Hill, some others I cannot remember directly right now. Too much going on.

This is been an issue in this town for years. Right after the October snowstorm asplund was contracted to come in and make some major improvements. As soon as they started there were complaints left and right from people who didn't want trees trimmed, or worse taken down. As far as I'm concerned if they don't want preventative maintenance then they have to be prepared for the consequences. And it's good for us. Stuff like this always Spurs generator sales

Ya that front means business..at least it did in the west and mid west.

AMAZING STORM.
Timing absolutely sux. The expanse is impressive, debatable its effects are Hemispheric. 
The unfortunate aspect is that recovery will take some time.  
HRRR continues to show S coast, CC accumulations. 

[Modfan2]

What is the timing on the CF; I believe I can see it on radar exiting the NJ coast

[dryslot]

Just had one gust 46.5 mph so far about 20 mins ago.

[Sn0waddict]

One positive thing about this storm regarding outages is that this lull has allows line workers to fix some of the damaged lines while we wait for round 2. UI currently only sitting at .20 percent of their customers out of power.

You can see it punching into SW NJ right now on the sfc plot

7%... yes it's sad I'm correcting this but I just happened to look LOL

[J Paul Gordon]

Would be great if we could squeeze an inch or two (or even a coating) of snow out of it this evening, but the chances of that look remote around here.

[Spaizzo]

Milford point flooding a bit ago

How cold do you think we get tonight? Some of the high res is pretty impressive for no snow cover. 

[UnitedWx]

Temperature is dropped from 53 to 46 in the last hour and a half

[CoastalWx]

HRRR does have some squalls.

[40/70 Benchmark]

Is the rain pretty much done?

I'm watching the snow behind that NJ line... 

[Damage In Tolland]

Think there may be a surprise 1-2” in spots 

[weatherwiz]

Squalls are probably a good bet later on and tonight. These fronts almost always have them.

Turn the power off, freeze folks in darkness…but tickle them with an inch of snow to make their Christmas special enough.

From your lips to God's ears. But as I've been saying, down on the south shore from Madison through Rhode Island, they have a good shot of getting two three inches. Inches. For them. We have to head your bets on some squalls giving us a coating

[CoastalWx]

It's more post frontal stuff that the HRRR has.

It seems like it's the forcing as the storm wraps up that triggers it? The colder air aloft?
