At least areas like Montego Bay won’t take the brunt of it. Less built up southern areas. I think it avoids Kingston

The island is going to be wiped. Will never recover from this . Will be one of top 5 world natural disasters

Western part has resorts too. That’s probably worse vs where it’s forecasted to make landfall currently.

Classic mild 50s to 19F blizzard in Denver.

very cold cloud tops wrapping around the western eyewall now.. shes about to explode

[OrangeCTWX]

Jesus things aren’t looking too good for Jamaica. Its a compact hurricane but its going to be an absolute buzz saw in the areas that are exposed to the eyewall.

Sounded like a lot of people got in over their heads this weekend.

 

I was cold on Mount Mansfield wandering around, but it’s only 4,000ft and I know I can get down rapidly on foot.  MWN is 2,000 feet higher (10F usually).  The tourists were still in autumn mode. 

I always travel prepared this time of year with the basics of change of base layer if get sweaty on the way up, plus gloves and hat this time of year.  It’s crazy how much those things matter.  You could be in shorts even (not ideal or recommended), but if your upper body core is warm with layers, head is warm, and hands covered… those are the keys to both comfort and survival.

I was cold playing golf at 1100’. We could see what looked like snow showers in the higher elevations of the Worcester Range.

I grew up climbing Mount Washington and The Presidential Range. I have skied Tuckerman Ravine three years straight the years after college. Final time from the lip. Wicked cool, and scary as hell, going up and down. Took the left gully down, didn't fall. Have pix on my FB page. 

One shot climbing in the summer, "This mountain has some of the worst weather in the world. Turn back now if you are unprepared." I paraphrase, will dig up the photo. Highest wind speed ever recorded: 230 some odd MPH.

Mount Washington is no joke.

Should warm up some after the 10th or so. Just in time to lose Kevin’s winter month.
