TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 The CT power grid is made up of toothpicks and silly string, so yeah, no surprise if they get some outages 1 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widespread damage in Portsmouth, Kittery and Hampton if this verifies Parents and brother in N. Hampton with a water main break yesterday/last night left them without water for several hours. Now they'll lose power two days later. I would be very surprised if I lose power...have not seen that happen in 10 years here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a little for the west slopes, but keep in mind that isn't all instantaneous. That's thickness paired with 6hr averaged precip. So a lot of that precip is outta here before the column cools to support snow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was ridiculous. it was nuts. my house was shaking-and I am in a relatively protected spot. multiple trees down on my street, and i couldn't even go anywhere even if i wanted to. no power for 3 or 4 days.

STILL N OF PIKE Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Does CT see tide issues unless it’s like ESE wind funneling up Long Island sound ? Most of the wave action is blocked from almost all wind directions by Long Island which is why nobody surfs there unless it’s extreme SE coast - stonington- and those barriers like islands by RI border - Ginxy ?

weatherwiz Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Ever since Lamont nailed them with fines, anytime there is a sniff of higher wind gusts, Eversource is now going to ask for crews all over. They're petrified to screw up again. Plus they want to do a massive rate hike on customers so they want to "look good" to get that approved. The state is not going to see over 100,000 without power unless we get a low topped derecho to blow through 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dryslot Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Jeezus .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... 12pm Update...Quick update to hazards. Transitioned remaining High Wind Watch to a Wind Advisory for central and southern NH, as well as to a High Wind Warning for southern Somerset Co. Increased peak gusts for portions of the Warning on the NW side of the Whites, as well as right along the coast. Gusts to 70 mph will be possible during a brief window as some MUCAPE accompanies the jet translation through the CWA. More details later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would defer to the hi-res models to see if a snow squall line actually makes it through. Earlier this morning, only the RGEM showed it, all the US hi-res models (NAM 3K, HRRR, FV3) showed a squall line that was rain-only except for the highest elevations up north.
