Already mixing up top.  Wet snow (white rain) and 33.5F top of the Quad.  Thinking 3-6” of dense snow possible above 2,500ft.  Models have a lot of upslope precip and all parameters for heavy upslope precipitation are met… near saturated from SFC to ridgeline, H85 winds 25kts< and cross barrier, vertically stacked low traveling near FVE, precip duration of 12+ hours.

Temps and snow growth are pretty poor though.  Big precip is a lock, snow will likely be 6-7:1 ratios overnight with heavily rimed or small needles.

Classic Spine precipitation bomb.

At 1500ft we are seeing 40mph gusts and just pounding rain.

Pretty windy out by Nashua standards. Neighbors fence blown in and i lost a 20’ rotted limb.

[Typhoon Tip]

oh yeah... lost hour of daylight sunday.  

i guess one upshot for the model crack crew is you'll get a hit an hour earlier. lol

Ever hear od Osage Orange? I think that's the hardest wood in the US, for something harder you'd have to go to Africa.

Looks like some snow in the batch looking at myradar.

Starting to get some good rips now

Coming into Logan on approach to 22.  Winds are ripping but it’s reasonably quiet turbulence wise at 4000 feet.

Everything below that level…

Looking at my 10 day…I don’t see the CONFIRMED TORCH, that the Pope was touting yesterday???  Excommunication is a forgone conclusion at this point I believe…god bless his soul.

I bet we had some 45 to 50 mph gust so far.. every 30 seconds or so I hear a good roar coming from outside 

[Damage In Tolland]

The biggest rips were modeled 9-12

Yes I should have clarified. East of the Rockies.

[powderfreak]

Just got very windy here on the eastern side of the Spine down in the valley.  Inversion aloft looks to be lowering a bit and compressing the air over the ridges, accelerating it down the eastern slopes.  Coinciding with the upslope band migrating ever so subtly westward too.

Lost internet here. Travesty

The benefits of being on hill tops. 

[CT Valley Snowman]

We've had a few gusts here and there maybe 35 to perhaps 40 but pretty quiet overall. I can't hear the wind from inside. I actually had some better gusts for a short period yesterday evening.

Plastic pumpkins filled with candy blowing down the street.

We’ve had some 50 ish gusts for sure. But I was thinking 60. They come in ebbs and flows. Quiet for a a bit and then a series of 5-10 minutes of big rips . Always seems to happen like that 

[WinterWolf]

Breezy out there for sure…but certainly Not impressive so far at all…but was thinking it wouldn’t be.  Wind forecasts almost always disappoint here.  
 

Tropical systems, and convection(T.Storms) and Blizzards, now that’s where it can get wild here.  Otherwise it’s almost always a snoozer.   This looks to be the same old nothing.  Unless it Ramps up later into something extraordinary…but doubtful.

Looks to be nothing, unless it isn't.  We just don't know.

Good luck.

Funny..but we never really do know, until it’s here and over with, now do we? 
 

So far, it’s unimpressive.
