  1. It's a nice idea, but I can't help but wonder what the energy cost is of mining, refining, packaging, shipping, installing and disposing of a gigantic battery. How much solar would you need to be reap to offset both your personal usage and all the fossil fuels spent to produce and dispose of it? I don't know the answer, but I suspect the payback period would be substantial.
  2. Yeah, if it were cost effective PCG would've buried their lines in Cali to avoid wildfire liability.
  3. When does FEMA get here? Acorns to thy knickers.
  4. Stormsurge gonna have a fun night. Wish I was out on the island.
  5. Man, it is dumping. Wish I was saying this two months from now.
  6. There's pretty siggy lift on some of the guidance. Someone's gonna get smoked in the rainfall dept at the least. Maybe lollis to 4-5"
  7. Maybe for the specific date? Dunno, would have to think Sandy will hold that record indefinitely.
  8. Yeah Oct '17 went up the HV in the 960s and had a little embedded meso low that ripped up over the Cape and brought the 90-100 mph gusts. That was the ideal setup as far as wind events go. This looks solid for the immediate coast, as usual, but I'm more interested in the rain aspect than the wind IMBY.
  9. Same experience here. Heavy rain and just as the dry slot approached the wind went nuts and took off the top of a tree in my yard and blew out a transformer.
  10. I was thinking about that storm yesterday. That was the last time I lost power from wind. It wrecked the Stowe area and had 100mph gusts out on the Cape.
  11. Last Week Tonight episode about weather was hilarious. And troubling.
  12. It would be nice if someone would post an update on the Amwx Facebook page when there's an issue.
  13. Could be quite an impressive phase potentially.
  14. Hurricane force gusts verbatim (although that product is not overly reliable).
  15. Anyone unable to post this afternoon? Anyway, guidance generally impressive. Wish we could save it for Xmas eve with a fresh cold airmass.
  16. Storm looks pretty sweet on satellite this morning.
