You didn't ask me, but I see a typical, strong CAA scenario (but not HWW caliber) like the others have mentioned. Maybe low 30kts sustained in places with gusts +/- 5kt from 45kt.

Damage

CSTAR COOL SEASON HIGH WIND STUDY POINTS TO FIRST AREAS

SUSCEPTIBLE TO THESE WINDS BEING THE SOUTHEAST PORTION OF FA AS

THE LOW WILL BE WELL NORTHEAST OF THE FA. ISALLOBARIC COUPLET

WILL BE STRONGEST ACROSS FA FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH LATE

SATURDAY AND GFS...NAM...ECMWF AND GGEM ALL HAVE A VERY TIGHT

SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS FA FROM THIS EVENING THROUGH

SATURDAY EVENING. THE STRENGTH OF THE WINDS MAY ALSO BE AIDED BY

MIXING TO 7 KFT AHEAD OF THE ARCTIC FRONT TONIGHT WHICH MAY ALSO

INCLUDE A RUMBLE OF THUNDER AS ML MUCAPES OF 100-200 J/KG

POSSIBLE.

Meh...all the HWW are to our SW..and winds were supposed o be strong already. We'll prob see a few 50 mph gusts

Things seem to be going fine model wise...it always looked like there would be two spurts of stronger winds...one between about 8 AM and noon then another one during the evening/overnight hours.

Best winds yet (since 4:30 when I woke up). Ground is littered with sticks. A couple good thunks off the roof from small branches. Looks like one branch managed to catch some phone lines on the way down. They're still up, but sagging pretty darn low.

27.1/13

btw--while I've been tyring to video some ofo the wind this morning, there's nothing more boring than that. Doesn't caputre it at all. Maybe I'll walk outsie later if I can muster the energy to snowshoe. Perhaps I'll get some better footage doing that.

Sporadic ground blizzard conditions. Can only imagine what it would be like if there were 3-4 inches last night instead of the 1 or so that came down.

A couple of house shaking gusts earlier this morning (woke me up).

The top of our fireplace thingy on wheels blew into the woods. Will wait until the snow melts a bit to go get it I imagine.

Our nearest Weatherbug station (Gardner) had a gust of 49mph

Also looks like we got a tiny dusting of snow overnight

AWT
