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

Good morning all, generator technician and master electrician here. Any questions I can help. 

[Cold Miser]

Tame here.  Heard wind overnight, but really didn't seem like a big deal.  Will assess the "damage" in a few minutes.  Power went out for 30 seconds.

Those are good winds inland. Typical stuff around here. We await fropa later.

That's a pretty big downslope number for HIE. I have not seen that very often.

Sand trucks are out

The roads here are a mess with all the sand

[dendrite]

Really ramping up here. Actually picking up wet snow and lifting it into the air

Stay safe. Chickens turned into wet snowcones.

1.55". Gust to 21

So far wind is under performing here.  ya,it's windy and we had a gust to 36mph.  As it veers more south and west I would expect it to pick up

[ORH_wxman]

Gusty here but nothing that crazy yet on the hill. Congrats to those getting better winds. 

[CoastalWx]

Eastern CT into RI and ern MA later will be watched with fropa.

That’s a bit surprising. It’s windy here but doesn’t seem anything exceptional so far

...and congrats to those losing power who wish for it. Sometimes the Grinch does give to those who are persistent.

Decent amount of water in the basement.  Been a while since that happened.  Frozen-ish ground and snowmelt plus the rain.  Boo

I would imagine just down the road near the 302/3 intersection is ripping pretty good.

Eversource is expecting extended delays due to lack of lineman. This thing hit the entire Eastern half of the country. Out of state lineman at a premium.

CMP called in a number of crews from other states last weekend as they had something like 118k in the dark.  Then CMP looked at the forecast and paid those crews to hang around until this event.  Nice to finally see some intelligence back at CMP - they were heroes in the 1998 ice storm but zeroes in the past few years.

Yeah western slopes already getting 40mph gusts well in advance of the strong LLJ.

Up this way this is a prime home station to watch, owned by a NWS member.  Gusted 39mph past half hour.  They come right off Bolton Valley area down to 800ft elevation.

Snowing outside in Stowe, maybe an inch?

Green Mountain Power crushes it down here.  Power was back in 2 hours even during peak winds last night.  

Interestingly, only gusted to 29mph on roof mounted Davis after power went out. (peak was 39mph).  Probably had 10 windier downslopes events in the past 3-4 years. Seemed like peak winds were in the far western part of SVT more removed from the tucked in Western slopes. Almost off the Taconics it seemed or further downwind from the Greens Spine--at least down here.

[backedgeapproaching]

2.5" SN.   1.65" total snow/rain precip. 

Winds almost calm now- 44F

Depth was 14" yesterday morning and 11.5" this morning at 7AM

Including here: genny kicked in at 7:28 - seemed a bit odd as winds here are modest, maybe G20.  Had 1.2" of mostly IP (0.35" LE) but now it's moderate RA at near 32 but no accretion.

Looked again at Isle Au Haut and they may get gusts to 80.  Several other sites in the general area have G75 forecasts.  Isle of Shoals was 48/57 kt at 7 AM.

[eekuasepinniW]

This pleases me.  Surprisingly intense gusts.

Power went out for a minute and came back.  Lots of flickering.

I think more east but you on edge.

Should see a pretty nasty low topped line move across Connecticut and points northeast early afternoon. This could produce some very nasty wind. Power outages will likely climb. 

I'm kicking myself hardcore for poo-pooing the winds on here the past few days with this AM round. While the lapse rates weren't great, there was some pretty decent CAPE being modeled. ughhh
