I had a birch uproot with 2’ of snow still. One of the top cutters. I was at stop and shop outside doing carriages at the time. There were power flashes, signs ripping apart, and an old lady blew over right in front of me. I won’t forget that. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 The Grinch storm has started as a decent burst of moderate snow with the warm air advection. Almost a quick inch in the past hour at the ski area. Gotta pad those stats before it gets washed away, . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lava Rock Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 There are some similarities with this event and the screamer in 96 that melted 3-4’ of snow in 24 hours. Does anyone recall how strong winds were in that event, and did the strongest winds occur over snowpack or after it had melted?It was windy the night of storm. Next morning I woke with a terrible hangover and the sun was outSent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shear surprised me. Wasn't there event earlier this summer/fall with low CAPE and high shear that surprised? It's escaping me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't there event earlier this summer/fall with low CAPE and high shear that surprised? It's escaping me. There was the serial derecho a few months back. I think there was another event too a bit before that. The low CAPE/high shear events are very fickle. It's actually possible for shear to be too strong b/c if shear far outweighs buoyancy the updrafts get sheared apart and you can't generate robust enough updrafts to punch into and utilize the shear. Also, it is so warm aloft I think it will be very difficult to generate any lighting and we certainly won't see updrafts capable of lightning production. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIsound Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 from a friend at Eversource. Eversource will declare an Emergency Event Level 4 at 6 p.m. on Thursday, December 24, meaning we expect 10% - 29% of customer outages, or between 125,000 to 380,000 outages, and 1,500 to 10,000 trouble spots. Restoration for a Level 4 Event can range from 2 to 6 days before most customers are restored. Already secured over a thousand hotel rooms for crews through the weekend 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIsound Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Eversource got absolutely killed in CT by legislature and other public officials due to its lack of response to Isaias. If anything, company is probably overreacting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnold214 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Wondering if the 18z HRRR has the right idea with gust speeds and general location of highest gusts. Seems reasonable for the most part. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
