Buoy watching. https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=44005

Has it really been that bad though? Honestly I haven’t paid a ton of attention but this is the 12z run from this morning valid 21z today showing 1-2 inches max for Boston at 10:1 which we knew to toss those ratios anyways…

HRRR gets going down there for a while later today through this evening. Willing to bet they get 4-6.

Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll make it. My sister had a kid last night and I’m watching her dog for a few days. My dogs not so happy with the visitor so I have my hands full.

2-3”hr type stuff in Hampton, NH. Whether it starts stacking up that quick is a different story.

Pounding here on the seacoast of NH. Vis satellite is impressive as the capture has commenced. Almost looks like a sting jet type feature on the southern flank.

Thanks that certainly clears things up… Anyways would love to hear some mets take on that BOX map. Can’t imagine that holds especially if we are putting some more weight towards the EPS. What a nightmare forecast scenario.

That was issued at 4am. Curious to see what there afternoon update is. I have low expectations here in Hampton NH but at least the waves and wind should rip.

With all due respect what the hell are you talking about with this St Martin of Tours you keep mentioning? On another note I have no idea what to make of that BOX map. Curious to see what GYX update looks like.

Kind of like you making a definitive statement that the possibility of that outcome is “not even close” when it’s still clearly on the table? On a different note that precip onset time is one of the grossest things I’ve seen put out by a WFO. Has to be computer generated.

Just watched this video. Never seen anything like it outside of Japan. Power lines are getting buried at this point.

Yup, heavy snow here in Conway. Huge flakes. Next week on the slopes will be great. Can’t wait to get a few days off to get out.

CC drop west of Hackelburg as well.

Haven’t posted in a while, hope everyone is staying safe. Up in North Conway for a week of snowboarding, currently -16 with winds still cranking. Looks like Portland just broke there all time wind chill record for what it’s worth. From the GYX discussion earlier.. After sifting through our old paper book records, a -43 degree wind chill from 1971 appears to be the record to beat in Portland, at least since 1948.

Ya Ian more then doubled it. Think I saw it get to 7.84 at one point. That gauge is up the river some ways as well. Wouldn’t be surprised if the surge was quite a bit higher right on Fort Meyers beach looking at the damage. Its early but dare I say this might become the third costliest hurricane in US history behind Katrina and Harvey once all is said and done? Such a sad situation. I love experiencing some extreme weather but man is it nice living in New England where we are pretty immune to catastrophic events… edit: looks like 8.57 was the unofficial peak

Haven’t seen much from there. Looking at obs winds were out of the N or NE all day so surge shouldn’t of been an issue. They got some hurricane force gusts however. https://w1.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KSRQ.html

Im so confused by this post. Storm surge is exactly what Fort Myers is experiencing. Punta Gorda got blasted by those backside eyewall winds but looks like they avoided significant surge. Also that video you posted has “City of Naples” written on the side of the door of the fire truck. People need to stop trusting these twitter posts from random accounts without verification.

Huh? At least Camille went over western Cuba but the track similarities end there. Not many good analogs to go off of here in modern record keeping.

Scorching hot at my parents place in Hampton right by I-95 when I picked up the dog after work. A beautiful 80-85 right on the coast at my apartment a few miles away. Pretty crazy temperature gradient.

NH seacoast delivers again

Getting hit pretty good here. Possible micro burst just north of me. That lowering was really surging as it passed by me.

Pretty much the main reason I do all my snowboarding in ME and NH. VT mountains are a bitch to get to from the seacoast. Beautiful day here in Hampton with some nice 3ft waves. Might have to take the surfboard out for the first time this year now that the waters slightly warmer.
