It won't stick but it will be fun to see us get some early snow for the 2nd year in a row. A track into SNE would give us the best shot as we could get into that cold sector and change over. great more oct snow means terrible winter, thanks ribbey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsley Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 General question regarding sustained winds, since I've only lived in this area since 05'. I'm curious to what some of the strongest sustained winds (over a period of several hours) have been from major storms in eastern PA? In my 7 years here, I don't remember winds sustained much higher than 35-40 mph from any storm. I'd have to think sustained winds in the 40-50 mph range is tops? Am I wrong?

Sustained winds higher than 40+ are almost always extremely brief at inland stations... only a hurricane could probably produce something more extended and as we know, well developed and intact hurricane cores virtually never get to SE PA.

Thanks Ray. That's what I figured. Growing up 2 miles from the Atlantic Ocean it was obviously a different story on many occasions. Just want to keep some realistic wind speeds in my head in case the worst case scenario track plays our around here. I'm already getting texts asking me about "Hurricane Winds/Rains?".

Lady Di Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Isabel we had sustained 35mph-40mph for a period of time. In my old age, I too cannot recall ever having higher sustained winds. This storm perhaps will change history? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSky Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 yeah the common reply i am getting out there is "what another hurricane doom and gloom scare these happen every couple years and we get some breezy showers" I still dont have a good feel on what conditions and effects of frankenstorm will be like locally on mon-tue,, give it another 24 hours to narrow down the ultimate storm track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that happened with Irene, for example. Some sources had gust of 60, even 70 mph inland and many areas barely cracked 50. This could be different. At least, the gusts could certainly be closer to 70 than at any time in memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either it rains a ton or you get a ton of wind, rarely both. This is the northeast, where hurricanes are always lopsided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
