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.

This will be my 3rd year doing it. I did the Freedom Tower stair climb in June. Had to climb over 2k steps and 104 floors. Took me over an hour but I did it .

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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..

Man, that one chair saved you from having to pick up a mess of shattered glass.

PWM

66/48 BKN with a few gusts in the  20 kt range.

I hate that table, I wouldn't have minded if the chair was there :lol: 

But yeah that would have not been fun, especially having a dog. Getting the glass off the pavement wouldn't have been terrible but if any small pieces got into the lawn...yikes.

I kicked over the patio furniture before I left. Wasn't going to give the storm the satisfaction.
