"We're gonna need a bigger plow..." Massive, persistent singal now emerges discretely in the models, 20th-23rd

I need to buy a place in Buffalo or Watertown. Incredible month for those folks.

Trash and recycle cans still in upright positions. May secure the recyclables. Not in the mood for a holiday beer can chase.

For inland wind, it was impressive for a while. Much quieter now. If I had an anemometer properly sited it probably would have been near 50 at peak. Lines up with HFD’s recent obs I think.

Peak gust that I can see with my local WU station was 48mph.

HFD gusted to 50 knots at 554a. 

Nah just 20-30 mph in the valley

Some big winds here around 4-5am but has calmed.   Bust on the rain (models had 2 inches here-got about .50)

It’s always the same few posters that downplay every major wind event. You just ignore and move on 

LOL maybe... but it just hasn't been bad here. Been up since 4am

[Baroclinic Zone]

solid winds for a winter storm

LOL at the amt of school closings in CT.  Luckily not our district.  Just crazy.

Daughter lost power in Manchester New Hampshire. Says it's blowing pretty good up there.

[UnitedWx]

Rain is letting up at the office. Waiting on the cold front later, that's when I expect more wind here

Well at least you got some of your beloved rain.

[Damage In Tolland]

As impressive and wild as first surge was I have a feeling the 2nd surge late morning and afternoon is going to be more impressive out of the SW

[Sugarloaf1989]

I'm practically in the Connecticut River.  So a near 50mph gust is impressive.  My windows face East in my bedroom and there rattling.

State of NH so far 27,000 w/o power and climbing...

[Brian5671]

Eastern LI was hit hard-alot of power outages there-makes sense with SE wind off the Ocean nothing to knock it down....

My wife teaches in Ashford. She said she saw 4-5 trees down in Tolland .. 3 in Ashford . Had to turn around multiple times. As she got near her school huge pine across both lanes and a car came speeding from other direction , hit it , went airborne and then skidded into woods. All while she was trying to turn around .

Have to wonder if the lack of rain enhanced wind potential 

[TalcottWx]

95k without power.

Crazy, Canton called it at the last minute, too many trees down

[Damage In Tolland]
