Looks like some spoty snow showers down by Achusnet; off Buzzard Bay?

Martha's vineyard on TWC with ocean effect snow! Looks great there.

Hats off to cmp for getting power restored, at least in our hood very quickly. First outage was 3.5hr and 2nd was 2hrs. Ordinarily, we'd be powerless much longer. Probably had to do with all the out of state line workers that were still here from last weekend

Power went off early yesterday morning and we thought our first long-term run of the generator had begun.  That machine shut off, surprisingly, just 2 hours later and other than some blinks, we had power from then on.  Wind gusts here probably topped out near 40, still 12" OG after 3.25", 7/8 of which was RA with several hours at 45-46°, after the SN/IP start.

Morning low here 12°, one degree AN.  Low at NYC: 7°, twenty degrees BN.

NWS has issued a Winter Storm Warning for Martha’s Vineyard through Sunday morning for 4-8”.

yeah there’s 2 in the notch…echo lake and mt lafayette. The echo lake station had the 93mph, but it was 50-60mph before the transmitting went out. Most of the DOT stations use ultrasonics so it’s possible it got a little glitchy with the heavy rain and wind. It’s 1900ft which is a little low to be pulling off 93mph.

Tossed. We chucked that LSR before I had a chance to nix it. I could've believed a 70 mph, 90+ is just a bridge too far.

No, that’s actually Martha’s Vineyard.

You're lucky Kev; no need to call an Adjuster.
Image there are many more trees downed across all of the Northeast.
A record breaker for sure.

Steamer is lifting north into the cape right now

I was about 1/4 mile away from getting Moultonboro'd last night.

The whispering pines condos got wrecked. It used to be a nice dense shady lot but it's so open and sparse looking now.  Hard to tell, but I think they lost 4 of their biggest pines, which pancaked everything else around them.

 

This is like 500 feet away from me... sewage pump station lost part of its roof.

Some strips of marina roofing are missing.

Haven't made it over by Governors Island yet... based upon the outage map, they had a lot of fun last night.

Any Concord area weenies with a weather radio? We can't reach Plausawa Hill transmitter (162.4) and we're hearing rumors that the tower itself might have come down in the winds. Can anyone hear audio on that frequency?

RIP to that transmitter.

Sounds like our stuff may have been on that one.

Snow is picking up a bit here in Narragansett

[Go Kart Mozart]

A sounding we don't see in New England very often.  Snow forming from the inversion layer down to about 1600'.

[OceanStWx]

FWIW, the EF Scale suggests the lower bound threshold for cell tower collapse is about 115 mph. 

Plausawa Hill is 1000 ft, plus the 190 ft tower gets you almost to 1200 ft. Model forecasts around 1200 ft for CON were around 70 kt sustained, so I don't think winds were quite that high.

Lol. We rest up and pray for more feet later tonite , maybe I need to wait for the New Year’s Eve melting .

Transit Road is laughable right now . Not sure if they have a plow that can move 18 wheelers out of the way or SUV’s stuck in middle or road. I thought this main road was kept open and cleared lol . This looks eery and everything is stuck out there .  Let’s pile another 28” on And keep the winds stiff 

[STILL N OF PIKE]

Spoke to some folks in the lobby as everyone has a story it seems. One guy said he was rescued with his 3 kids last nite . I said how far away is your car stuck , “15 miles maybe “ I said are you sure .. where was it stuck ..he put in location and it was 1.2 miles away . He said it  took 2 hours to get here as the SUV cruiser kept getting stuck and Had to maneuver around other stuck cars and the officer would stop and check for people inside .
