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...  

ahh John, wish you were still doing my town. Disappointed to hear you’re not going to be advising my district. 
 

But congratulations on scaling back.

NE MA choking on Scoot’s exhaust all morning. This would’ve been entertaining in winter.

We would be witnessing the mother of all meltdowns..

Out of boredom just dug up this shot from the October blowdown back in 2021. I think this is the one that produced a few 90 mph gusts and the damage was insane here. Even kev would’ve been in shock as we were boxed in for a solid week with trees and lines down everywhere. It was friggin wild man.

This is going about as I thought here. Rain is banded and just misery mist for the most part. Winds are mediocre.

Not being a Debbie, I just didn’t think this would end up as as a mid or upper tier event here, and it hasn’t.

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.

Just a quiet little town called norwell. I think I’m just a little southeast of Scott. We happen to be about five miles from the ocean so big wind events are nothing new around here but there’s been a few bigguns over the years. That 2021 storm was on another level though, never experienced winds nor damage of that intensity before.

That was basically a category one. The fire chief at the time in Marshfield sent me a picture of the anemometer that said 90.

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

That’s crazy but not totally surprising. I gotta do some digging on the mechanics behind that one as I don’t think the forecast ever called for gusts to reach higher than 60 at the time, which is still pretty respectable. I’m still finding trees and phantom limbs down when I go for walks that I’m willing to bet are attributed to that storm.

35k no power and climbing 

[amarshall]

power went out in the middle of 60 minute peleton ride. Water bottle went flying.  Meh in destructionbury

my wife said the store was mobbed with ppl buying your typical stuff ahead of a blizzard, they really hyped this up on the news, at least from what I hear, and no canes really this season, had to focus on something. Plus people here noreaster and I think subconsciously think snow storm, aside from the coast it's not that big a deal most of the time, the day before I left was more windy than now, we'll see what later and tomorrow brings 

[Damage In Tolland]

Strongest gust so far just went thru . Stuff flying everywhere . Love this

I went to go put gas in the gas can.  I realized there's no snowblower involved.  Force of habit. 

Last year with roads closed and impassable due to snow it was the first time a gas can actually mattered.

Thanks definitely looks at least more subtropical on satellite. Pretty well defined center now.

[Hoth]

Hasn't been overly windy, but there are a surprising number of roads blocked by fallen trees in my hood. Maybe all the rain this summer weakened them.

Reporting in from the City Known as The Town of Methuen....I can state that so far the city remains upright from the onslaught from The Storm of The Century....barely any rain so far and highest gust has been 32....

Absolutely ridiculous that some INDOOR sporting events scheduled for today were postponed for this lol

URGENT UPDATE FROM METUEN...

I just noticed a brave couple walking their dog...they are accompanied by a team of sherpas...never know when the drizzle may begin again..
