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..

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

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.

At market basket in leominster and its the busiest I've ever seen it.. and its usually crazy as it is here.. trying to put up chips is almost impossible today 

[CoastalWx]

Big waves and some minor flooding here in marshfield. 

[weathafella]

Funny our lights almost always stay on.  But 1AM my wife and I were having a fun discussion and poof-no lights.  They came back on in 3-4 minutes and I’m thinking the Eversource person was posting ITT and accidentally hit the hot key to kill the power and had to bring it back before it got out of hand…

[tavwtby]

eversource just texted me saying fallen trees and live wires in the vicinity of my house, wife said lots of sirens etc...its 85-90 and pleasant here (almost daily)in Soflo, I'd prefer home tbh... really don't know how people can live here year round, maybe when I'm a couple decades older I'd enjoy it, I like the change of seasons.

that's an automatic reset when a branch hits a line.

The hype masters on TV and online created the panic with the talk of a high end 4 day nor'easter...and that led to the mess

I expect some decent wind and rain but it's been so far overblown for those 90% there's no going back

I'm curious what people would like us to do.

For example, look at the call to action on the NWS coastal flood warnings and high wind warnings. Probably more "panicky" than anything a met said on air. 

Our forecast will turn out to be pretty much perfect in terms of wind gusts, impacts (scattered outages), and coastal flooding (minor to barely moderate).

On a grade of 1 - 10, I would rate it a 7 so far. 20k without power in CT, 4k in MA, and 1k in RI doesn’t make this storm ordinary by any measure, but it’s also not the most severe we have had.

Another 18 hours before it passes west and occludes so let’s make a final judgment tomorrow or Monday.

Some areas definitely feeling it much worse than others.

[wxeyeNH]

I'm certainly not a Met but the satellite view right now  doesn't look like a typical cold core system.  Deep convection trying to fire near the center.  Seems hybrid to me??
