Still blowing outside but not nearly as ferocious as a few hours ago.

And now we quiet and brightening up.  We await CF.

What about hyping every event? This was 50-60. Not unprecedented.

Its been exactly as I had expected for my area....a shitty drive, but nothing too out of the ordinary.

If it were snow, that dryslot would have whipped right in.

Ya this was a snoozer here, at least so far. Rain keeps coming though. We’ll see what the CAA does?  

[CoastalWx]

I will say 53kts MHT was definitely overperforming.

Most aren’t hyped. This one deserved to be. Most of CT 50-60+.Wait till round 2 hits 

[CoastalWx]

Some good flooding in east boston.

I was thinking exactly that lol…

Now that it’s rain it keeps filling right back in. Unreal.

portable generator, does it need to be covered when outside?

In a light rain, it's probably OK. They are air cooled, so any cover needs to allow air in.

Not memorable here that’s for sure. Maybe round 2 delivers more. We wait and see.

I mean, its really windy...but its nothing I will remember for years to come (like Feb 2010), aside from the fact that is resulted in the longest thread ever for a non-tropical rain event.

This is your true "Shut 'em Down" event.  Only time I can ever remember Stowe closing for the day.  No power at the mountain or in town, trees down everywhere.  130mph max wind gust at Mansfield summit.  70 mph at BTV airport (I think it was Hurricane Hazel that had higher gust speed on record than this event?).  Everyone seems to be without power around these parts.

[TalcottWx]

That NJ line is worrisome. 

[weathafella]

Kind of shocked I woke up to power considering the headlines....then again I live in a wind hole-big winds earlier but died down some now.

Sporadic areas have their issues, but not feeling what was advertised here by any means... as I knew we wouldn't. It's always the shore and hilltops FTW in these. Now, when the cold front comes through I expect more here than earlier

Feel like an SPC MD needs to be on that one 

[Spanks45]

Winds just started picking up here again. Still no power...pool was starting to overflow, so much rain recently. Temps went from 58⁰, now down to 46⁰

We take that.

Some models bringing a inch or so of snow here later on we pray

50% of Simsbury was shut down, with several major roads shut down, I don't know.

HFD gusts to 58 is just one tiny example. You must live in a cave

I think for CT broadly this is a significant/major event given some of the wind and coastal flooding. It’s not over yet, either, with the Arctic front.

Don’t think it’s memorable (yet) though. 

Memorable is hard to do. To me that denotes an all-timer with a defining feature. Buffalo? That’s memorable.

50%? that's not what we heard. And I expect the road closures. It happens here with half-assed thunderstorms because tree trimming is so limited due to complainers. I haven't had any trouble getting around this morning

[Cyclone-68]

Wind calm here now as I wait for the NJ winter derecho to get here

At least half of the town was without power last time I peeked. Hopmeadow was shut down, Bushy Hill, some others I cannot remember directly right now. Too much going on.

The valley got nailed it seemed. But also not being used to 50+ winds...those trees will fall.
