Digityman Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Welp, I gave in and bought a generator. When I bought the house in July I told myself the first thing I'd buy is a generator. Well, you know how that goes when you move in ... many other pressing needs. But the writing is on the wall here ... gon' ice and power will almost certainly be lost. Now you just have to run those extension cords! When I built my house a few years ago, I actually made a few holes through the floors to the basement because I got tired of running those exension cords up the stairs and so on. Now, just straight into the bulkhead and then up through the holes to the TV, fridge, pc related stuff and so on. Makes it much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Actually the Euro now dumps into AWIPS as available rather than when the entire model is finished. Oh nice, I didn't know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 do you own a house? And/or a woodlot? Normally I'm all in for exciting/anomalous wx, but not major ice because my forester vocation finds the aftermath mega-depressing (among reasons not quite so selfish.) Wind in AUG has become light north, though the temp is still a bit above freezing (at 3 PM, anyway.) FVE remains in the singles, so the cold is near and strong.

SnowMan Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 NAM is nasty. Guess it's game on now. I am gaining confidence on even ZR down here based on the runs today.

Typhoon Tip Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 FIT-LWM axis has a shot at being dramatically cooler than CT zones. Euro's 12z "dumb-belled" PP with inverted ridge nosing down the the MA border with NH while antecedent building polar high ridges into ME is going to be hard to stop from rumbling S in the lowest levels. Where that front sag points it does not go back N when the feed is out of a +PP; doesn't work that way. 18z NAM now with 48 hour wind flip to NE @ Logan ... thinking we need to cool off expectation along RT 2 up through the Merrimack valley drain/Nashoba Valleys. How much so remains to be seen... ice not out of the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
