I was going to check the wpc surface analysis page to see if it was a miller b or a clipper but for some reason they don’t have any archives for January before 2006. All the other months work fine though it seems
Does anyone know some 5”/hr or higher snowfall rates we’ve had in the region? maybe March 2018 #4, February 2013, and January 2011? Are there any others?
Where I lived in Lindenhurst you would probably need gusts approaching 80 mph to get widespread power outages (Sandy, Isaias, a couple of severe t-storms a few years back). While there are still a decent amount of tree’s left, the mass majority of weaker trees that would cause issues at lower wind speeds are gone now.
Sandy was the big event that convinced me weather was my passion, I was 12 years old at the time lol. I always liked storms before that, starting from when I saw my dad watching coverage of Hurricane Ike on the weather channel, but that was the first time I more or less tracked something from days out
Accounting for all the days, I’m still at 2.36” maybe some leaves are blocking the rain gauge or something, I’ve had that issue happen before. I have fall break this weekend so I’ll have to check when I’m back home
I thought shear was supposed to ramp up big time by late tonight? If Ian doesn’t close off the new eyewall by then, the shear is going to inject a ton of dry air and erode away the southern periphery of the hurricane. Or so I would think…
How long until twitter is filled with tweets saying: “(government official) says to write your social security number on your arm if you don’t evacuate.”?
I’ve been thinking that this storm could have a lifecycle similar to 2002’s Hurricane Lili, but with a landfall a bit further east, they both occurred during the same time period too
I think i remember that, was kinda weird where like it would calm slightly between cells. And then after like a five minute break another light to moderate shower would move over and slam us with hurricane force wind gusts.
I found this on the CHC site for Cape Breton:
Strong category-1 hurricane force winds of 100 gusting to 140 km/h at exposed locations except 140 gusting to 160 km/h at the coast with surge of 1.8 to 2.4 m and dangerous waves from 11 to 15 m from Hurricane Fiona are expected.
