40/70 Benchmark Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I was impressed closer to the coast near work, in the Malden, Melrose area...pretty widespread tree damage. Up my way here in Methuen, it was about as expected. Without looking at any modeling bc I wasn't very interested, I expected this to underperform like most wind events, but this one did not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I'm fed up with NGRID ... they got this region of society by the ballz and know it, and act like it... The instant you are 30 seconds late on a bill their harangue kicks in like your dollars keeps the gears of society lit up ... with dire warnings of service interruption... but if you over pay you don't hear a goddamn thing. A petty greed tact that I might be willing to overlook if they wouldn't randomly turn off the power and/or just fail to maintain the grid in general so often. It's complete monopolistic lording and squeezing pennies and they don't do shit but distribute - badly at that. Government? Ps fk man...they're complicit probably.. Anyway, I found this and thought some might find it interesting.. This was the GFS ensembles from - I think - 12z four days ago... I had cut this out for this thread so it's probably in here many pages ago anyway, but I thought was cool to see how far E the mean was ...some 500 km of where it ended up or more. I recall this was the closest pass the mean made at the time/run too. So probably comparable to time interval this error even ballooned some.. Let's try and keep this in mind when a blizzard bomb is scheduled to just miss a month from now 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Winds were more impressive during the day down here I think. We never lost power. TMLP for the win.... I’ve never lose power for more than a few hours in my 25 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Still amazed by the SSE-NNW swath of winds basically east of rt 24 to BOS and east of 93 into Essex county. Freaking guidance nailed that. Looks like Danvers had 70-80mph winds too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 My pressure bottomed out at 977mb at 6am, as compared to 975mb at KLWM, where peak gust of 46mph was at 3am and 11am. Where did low track? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 There was a meteo-tsunami too. BOS harbor tide rose over 4' above where it should have been. If this occurred near high tide later this month, would have been a record tide. Impressive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was really cool was the lower elevation towns directly west and Sw of the hills like Vernon, South Windsor , Bolton ,Ellington had even more damage. It was a smaller scale of what VT gets on the downslope. The winds increased as they headed towards the valley and gusted 60+. Then weakened in the actual valley. Very little damage from BDL to HFD. Really cool mesoscale stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Pretty run of the mill storm here. 1.8" of rain and some downed limbs but that's about it. Annoying sheet drizzle now in spite of nothing on radar, will be nice once it's sheet snow. Temp dropping steadily since the wind shift but still 42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If , big if , the Euro materialized then SE SNE will have issues. Gravity waves were a major issue. No way to know what will happen until we get within 18 hrs but I would pay attention. One thing that is sure to happen. Ray will call it forgettable. Lol One bad forecast in here. Ray was actually impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
