  1. nothing left standing..it's going to be a long rebuild
  2. Happy Easter AM cooking today, non-traditional. ( half Italian) fried eggplant, penne, homemade sauce w/ spicy Italian sausage, seared steak, baked chicken, asparagus. This quarantine has me cooking up a storm
  3. looks mild, not wild. maybe a light wind gust or two with the front, otw meh
  4. the concensus here seems to be very light damage, toppled lawn chairs or lawn ornament but no trees or lines. Everyone will be okay
  5. of the approaching storm, while S winds slowly increase and temps remain steady or slowly rise. Strongest winds expected late AM into the afternoon on Monday as an 85-90kt H9 LLJ develops. GFS/NAM MOS guidance winds at KJFK both show sustained winds over 40 kt by 18Z Mon, some of the highest ever seen there outside of tropical cyclones. Looking at wind gusts, model soundings show typical model biases in play, with the NAM too inverted over land and the GFS too well mixed. Split the difference via a 2:1 NAM/GFS blend, as the NAM shows a little more focused LLJ toward the coast, and modified temps/mixing heights using MOS guidance hourly temps. This yields wind gusts 65-70 mph at the coast, and as high as 60-65 mph inland, mainly the higher elevations and exposed areas such as along the Hudson River. Can not totally rule out isolated 75-80 mph gusts across Long Island and coastal SE CT.
  6. ...HIGH WIND WATCH IN EFFECT FROM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY EVENING... * WHAT...South winds 25 to 40 mph with gusts up to 65 mph possible. * WHERE...Portions of northern Connecticut, central, eastern, northeastern, southeastern and western Massachusetts and northern and southern Rhode Island. * WHEN...From Monday morning through Monday evening. * IMPACTS...Damaging winds could blow down trees and power lines. Numerous power outages are possible. Travel could be difficult, especially for high profile vehicles. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Monitor the latest forecasts and warnings for updates on this situation. Fasten loose objects or shelter objects in a safe location prior to the onset of winds.
  7. It looks like we'll see at least a low-end wind event Monday. Gusts 40-60 should be pretty common, maybe higher, with copious rainfall amounts. Maybe the final "bomb" for us until next winter. Discuss
  8. most of the damage should be pretty light, nusciance variety, but damaging nonetheless
  9. 96-99 that was my visual marker for the snow line. Even in October that hill would be covered, I think it's around 2300' but maybe a little higher
  10. great, finally some weather of interest after months of winter boredom/doldrums and temp talk
  11. weak Nino = often big for the mid south-SE
  12. BW Stevenson was the best country/top 40 crossover of that time imo
