All quiet here, very brief period of sleet, back to snow, now stopped. Everyone in the neighborhood is snowblowing now... seems like a bad decision, leaving my snow so I can get rid of the snow, sleet and ZR is one shot...
I'm on the road a lot for work, I've seen plenty of northbound generators but not the rows of line trucks... either their weather people have said don't spend the money or they're actually not ready. Both are very likely knowing CMP lol
GYX in with the high wind watches. Euro rips across most of ME, NAM and others more moderate. Morning news seems to be insisting this is a coast only thing with no wind maps yet. Many don't seem to buy it yet. CMP doesn't even have the "we're ready!" messaging on their website yet.
Biggest issue in Gray, ME right now is there is NO wind, nothing to blow/shake it off the limbs, keeps piling and piling. Can hear cutoffs blowing all around me. Lots of flicking but I'm still on, for now.
Wind numbers for my area starting to finalize. Looks like not much beyond the immediate coast here in ME, CMPCO will still mange to just about blackout the whole state probably...
GYX dropped a bunch of the high wind watches they had out this morning. Euro continues to show gusts only along the immediate coast. Will still cause some issues, rain looks to be the biggest factor, another 3" pouring...
Thanks for the map... I don't think GYX buys it yet. They put out this map, and in their discussion he states the low level jet is going to keep inland from seeing very high gusts.
As it stands now that looks to be more inland with 60s and 70s than the christmas storm?
Can we see this for more of Maine as well, please? I don't have a sub to anything that'll give me wind gust maps. Looks like 60 in Portland area... Wonder if this won't be much for us, but more for CT, RI and Mass??
CMP I know didn't bring anybody in until after it was already underway/after the fact. Depending on rain flooding was by far the more consequential thing from the pre-xmas storm. Up by camp in Rangeley there is a lot of damage.
