Potential Record Breaking Cold Sunday/Sunday Night---Late Nov Discussion

[N. OF PIKE]

Winds here have been sort of run of the mil (cold front wise)l, as far as myself being out for several periods during the day. Perhaps i am in a sheltered area, what do we have for high gusts today at the big 4?

I recall a period of winds on a monday either last week or the week before (like 3-7 am) that seem'd the same, but i could be off.

[Ginx snewx]

Holy crap was that a huge gust, heard it coming for what seemed like miles, some station east of me will pick that up I hope.

[CapturedNature]

LMAO!!!!

 

About 255 WMECO folks are out.  Of course, that's 70% of the population out here.

 

I said it with Sandy and was laughed at - there's something different about the wiring here.  75% of my town is out now (about 4600 customers).

50 knots at MQE

[snowgeek]

24.1F here, but dewpoint is down to 0F and -1F at the airport (ALB)!

[HoarfrostHubb]

Howling winds? Check

Bitter temps? Check

Snow on the ground? Check

Early sunset? Check

Pats vs Broncos? Check

Is it January?

. Weeniest spot in SNE. I wish there was a station atop Wachusett

[moneypitmike]

Took a walk to the beaver pond earlier today--it was frozen for the first 20' or so, but open beyond that.  The wind will likely make the continued freezing more difficult, but I'm eager to see how it looks tomorrow (it's about 1500' across, so I'll be doing a lot of guessing).

 

Just had sustained 30mph

 

18.7/0

That is just crazy.  We lose power a lot here in the hinterlands, but then again, we're in the circle of the 9 towns in western mass that don't even have high speed internet.  Thank God I live on the one street that has cable!!

 

18.6/-1

 

 

Edit:  might get a precursor to Gilette during the Giant's game.  It won't be nearly as bad.  But, there's something funny to be sitting here comfortably next to the stove watching the crazy folks in the stands.  I'll take my seat any day.

Damage in Stafford

Some record low temperatures for 11/25 for select cities:

 

Bangor: 4°. 1939

Boston: 13°, 1938

Burlington: -1°, 1938 (earliest subzero low on record)

Caribou: 0°, 1956

Concord: 5°, 2000

Mt. Washington: -11°, 2005

Nantucket: 16°, 2000

New Bedford: 11°, 2000

Pittsfield: 6°, 2000

Portland: 9°, 2000

Providence: 12°, 1938

Worcester: 9°, 1936

 

FWIW, Mt. Washington may have had a subzero high temperature today. That would surpass the daily record for lowest maximum reading of 1° set in 1956.

[bobbutts]

wind is roaring out there, but no trees cracking or power flickering

wind events are all meh until they reach at least that point

Damage in Stafford

 

Outages are piling up:  75% of Stafford... 70% of Willington... 20% of Tolland... and 2 of the 3 people in Union. 

 

Why so concentrated in this part of the state?  http://www.cl-p.com/outage/OutageMap.aspx

 

[Logan11]

19 was my high ...could have tickled 20 when I wasn't looking. 

 

I got a couple inches from all those squalls out here.

24.1F here, but dewpoint is down to 0F and -1F at the airport (ALB)!

[Logan11]

BTW....the NAM changed.  Second impulse now waits to become the main deepener and does so further east. RN to SN here and into western Mass. For 12 hours it snows here...h72 to h84.  Looks pretty to look at anyway.

[HoarfrostHubb]

Wachusett's weather obs had a gust to 40 mph

But that is at the base

[ORH_wxman]

BDL, BRD, ORH all set record low maxes. PVD ties.

[CoastalWx]

Negative double digit dandy today.

Can I get a -20 anywhere?

[Ginx snewx]

Lol at the Refs pants on the Giants game, ripping winds billowing them. Mic sounds like he's recording a hurricane.

[Logan11]

29 at EWR as of 4:00 PM.  But I guess that feels cold to them.

8 k w/o power in CT

 

A tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it.  Does it make a sound?

 

A tree falls in CT and the entire state is blacked out for 3 days.

ORH can get to a -20F on the day if they reach 11F my midnight...unlikely.

[ROOSTA]

The thing that's impressive with the wind not only the gusts but the sound. Just has that winter roar. Wow, for MBY to get a G35 mph with the anemometer seated as is (slight block NW side crest of the hill) I know there are higher gusts all around.  

[CoastalWx]

I wonder if Logan can beat 16F tonight. It may be close..they may get 16 or 17.

I was wondering about that--I couldn't see it clearly.  I'll toss for now.

They're showing the the Packers game up here until it ends beofre switching over.

 

Oops--just ended in a tie.

Yeah. Much different sound. Wintery appeal

[Ginx snewx]

One of more memorable Nov days in my life.
