Central Maine Power now has 1,390 customers w/out power, almost all in extreme southern Maine, a huge jump from about 300 less than an hour ago. Looks like the real wind has started arriving. Pretty tepid here, though.

My sister says high winds at her house in York.

Squalls are defined by wind...not precip.

b) Squall. A strong wind characterized by a sudden onset in which the wind speed increases at least 16 knots and is sustained at 22 knots or more for at least one minute (see paragraph 12.6.8.e.(1)).

As Brian said, they are a wind feature not precip.

ASOS will report SQ whenever that criteria he quoted is met, AND the current wind is greater than 2kt and the potential SQ value is 3+kt greater than the current average wind, all of this over a 10 min period.

The for instance lowest possible SQ report would be 3kt jumping to 22kt.

But a snow squall warning doesn’t include that criteria?
