weathafella Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Watching the WS at the height of the storm was special. Almost like a blizzard-no visibility and winds gusting over 50mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roads closed all over. The winds overnight were the worst I've experienced since moving to our current locale. Sandy and Irene were tame compared to this. Those little meso-lows must have tracked right over TAN for the ASOS to pull off a 58kt reading. Gusts upwards of 50mph and more were common starting around 11pm and continued till about 4am. 2.63" of rain as well. Nice... may have over performed down there.

powderfreak Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Haha this is why damage can't be judged by wind. This tree deserves to fall over. Probably 30kts and gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exceeded my initial expectations when the thread was started late last week but I became more bullish by yesterday AM as I saw Phillippe becoming more of a player. Pretty wild 6hrs.

Driving 8 hours today from Toronto to VT...have a second driver so we can switch off every 2 hours but I would've stayed up if it was just another day at work. Amazing series so far.

Lucky if my top gust was close to 40....so a disappointment in that department, but I expected that going in so was prepared for that part. The Rain was the impressive part...we got Drenched here...got to be 5 inches or a bit more. The rain was the big story for us. Should see some 6” amounts when it’s over. Surprisingly though, not many flooding reports so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Looks like highest Vermont gust was Wells in Rutland County (downslope off Killington area) with 78mph. I'm skeptical because it's MESOWEST but it is in a location where it *could* happen. I hate that...some of those stations either don't go over 50mph or they freak out and report too high. But it's plausible so you can't really throw it out truly. Aside from the 115mph at Mansfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hopeful but don't like the "power poles snapped" line on my outage at home. We live right on the Mountain Road which has all the lodges, hotels, restaurants and the ski resort on that line. It's always the number 1 priority obviously from an economic standpoint for Stowe Electric but poles take time to mobilize and replace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replacing poles are usually a priority before power can be restored but don't know how they will treat that in your case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarloaf1989 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I just woke up and my town reports 152 without power. Never had any issue here last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wackymann Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Lost power in Chelmsford around 12:30 AM - interrupted me watching the World Series game. I'm guessing it will be at least a couple of days before we get power back after scanning the outage map. I will probably be firing up the generator tonight! I'm glad I fired it up and changed the oil a few months ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I had a fun ride in this morning. The main east/west road in town was closed so I had to back roads going over the mountain and I was met with many downed trees. My folks live in Somers and there were trees down all around them but thankfully not at their house. They are without power but most of the town has power. I suspect that several of the towns in that area (East Longmeadow, Hampden, Wilbraham, etc.) had more damage due to a downsloping effect. Funny story - as the winds were roaring pretty load around 1AM, it woke our dog up and she walked over to the window and started barking at the wind.

codfishsnowman Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 No problems here yet but was told out to the east in Hampden is like a war zone gusts may have hit 40 or so last night, hopefully the caa under preforms also if this is one benefit of being "screwed" all the time in winter I will take it gladly!
