SnowBrosForever Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baroclinic Zone Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I'll gladly say I busted if TAN gusts 55-60 mph. I think they've accomplished that only a handful of times in the 15 years I've been there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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)).

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A squall basically has two definitions, either a sudden gust of wind or a localized storm. ASOS uses the former, and a snow squall is the latter.
