j24vt Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Picture of a friend's house in Stowe, VT. Tree hit just to the left of the peak and slide down the left side of the house, poked a hole in the living room ceiliing, and landed between the two cars.

Mips Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Power still out here in the out country area of North Andover. If it stays out until tomorrow, it ties with the record. The telephone pole down the road is still across the road so I don't hold that much hope for today. Monday morning there was a tree down in the driveway but it missed everything except for other trees. Most roads into work had trees down to assorted degrees or were closed completely.

But yeah, I'm always suspicious of obs that are way out of line with stations nearby. It's possible though that it was a localized thing where it got a nice little ripple of convection or whatnot that allowed it to mix down. But someone said it was running high the entire event...which means it probably wouldn't be a localized gust that mixed down...they were just consistently getting stronger winds than everyone else.

Yeah it's one of those sniff test things. But as you said....it perhaps was just a renegade burst of winds which is certainly possible.

I think I was the one that said it seemed to be running high...it's strange to see a CWOP station at the head of the pack, but if it is sited properly with great exposure all around it can report winds as good as ASOS. This is the person's data from the past 1+ yrs on wunderground. Looks like they stopped sending their obs there this past May. https://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/dashboard?ID=ME8978#history/s20160101/e20171101/mcustom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...I mean, we did see it at Taunton...their ASOS reported that rogue 58 knots when everyone else kind of close to them was in the high 40s to near 50. There was definitely some pockets. But the 93mph gust is literally like 25-30 knots more than any ASOS station on the Cape...a little different than only being 10 knots more. You can plausibly explain it....more exposed site and more ideal without any buildings, etc, etc...then add on that they got into a rogue region of better mixing which adds another 10+ knots on top of their already higher baseline due to better siting....so you can definitely explain, but I think it is smart to scrutinize such readings. As someone who has done QC for weather data professionally in the past, that reading def catches the skeptical eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible the difference is due to ASOS's peak/gust wind being a running 3 second average speed versus the instantaneous speed of a personal weather station?

CoastalWx Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 3 Seconds should still be enough to catch a strong wind I think. I don't think that would explain a 20-30kt difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWS's aren't instantaneous. Davis uses a 2.5s interval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davis does it because they're using switch closures over their transmission interval. If it's an analog anemometer no such limitation or need for an interval.

dendrite Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Zooming in on the sat picture on Gladstone... If it is mounted a bit above that tall roof of that building there could be some false acceleration of the wind up the roof from that direction since the apex appears to run SW-NE. Just throwing that out there as possible error too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just throwing that out there as possible error too. At least it wasn’t some random 23G93 like you sometimes see with faulty mesonet obs. It was sustained 68 when it hit the peak gust, so at least in the realm of possibility. There was also a good pressure jump going on, from 982.4 to 984 over 13 minutes. It fits meteoroligically speaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
