I'm about 4 miles as the crow flies. I wonder if I get some influence from it as minor it might be.

KSWF is 4-5 miles west of the river and had a low of 39 this morning. KMGJ is about 8 miles west of KSWF and had a low of 34. The Hudson isnt always the whole reason for the differences that occur between KSWF and KMGJ but it tends to be a major factor.

On Rt 9w near the intersection of Forge Hill elevations are as low as 30'.. Even when you climb up Forge Hill to Rt 94 in Vails Gate elevation is still only 150-200'.. Combine that with the Hudson right alongside and thats a recipe for disaster during marginal events. I have seen it numerous times when I lived there.

35 for a low here..

I had 34 when I left the house at 7am, I'm guessing thats where I bottomed out along with the airport.

I guess we'll all be watching what if anything happens around Halloween again this year, eh?

If the 12z GFS is right we are looking at wind and flooding as the storm stays to our south then retrogrades west into Delmarva. If it goes up to CC and heads inland, all kinds of wintery disasters are on the table depending on the timing with regards to the very cold airmass engulfing the plains and OV during that timeframe. At the very least we could have widespread power outages with subfreezing temps to deal with.

I was just thinking about the irony of the first major storm in a year hitting right around the same weekend as the last major storm (unless I'm forgettting one). The pattern changed last season after the storm, will this storm change the pattern back to something much more active? Time will tell.

Long range models seem to be pretty cold.

Hey, how have you been? One downside of the Regional threads for me is I feel like I've lost touch with some the folks I've chatted with for years. I'm partially to blame for that as well though, I need to get out more, LOL.

I've been watching the long range too and like what we are seeing.

Not looking good fella's. I have a bad feeling this thread will come alive again with OBS come early next week...

Not a good feeling here Rob. The ground has a good amount of moisture now along with the vegetation not pulling much now compared with Irene last August with these rain totals from that event,

18z GFS has 850mb winds between 80-90mph come tuesday morning for MGJ.. Areas with elevation should have no problem reaching 40-50 sustained if this was to be believed.. Combine that with 5-10" of rain.. Scary stuff fellas!

Not looking good at all. Getting very worried about the winds. If Sandy takes the path south of us......our trees are not accustomed to strong east/southeast directions. This will surely topple many more trees than a NW direction. Lets hope for a path that's to the east or well south of us.....which looks like it is trending at the moment. Of course there is the hydro issue also. I just finished getting the last of my gas storage containers filled for the generator.....should be good for 6 days or so.
