I still lean a little more conservative but I agree there will be good gusts especially near the end. I'm pretty impressed with the convection signal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grandparents had a chestnut tree in their backyard that didn’t succumb to blight until 1994…they had a large open backyard that was cut out of the woods….so I’m guessing the tree being isolated from the rest of the forest probably helped it last as long as it did. Worst thing was stepping on those damned things if you went too close to the tree in your bare feet. Once the spike coverings dried out they turned extremely sharp. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick-02540 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 1 hour ago, Great Snow 1717 said: That is a concern. and with widespread power outages expect across a good chunk of the east coast, that will limit the power companies from brining in crews from other areas to help restore the power. Usually in situations like this I notice out of state crews in various staging areas. I did not see any crews in some of those staging areas this morning I was just talking to some Eversource linemen at the gas station and they said they're close to being on their own this time around. Depending on how it shakes out in Kentucky, Ohio, PA, etc, they may be able to pull some crews in on Friday. But they're not expecting much mutual aid.

Worst thing was stepping on those damned things if you went too close to the tree in your bare feet. Once the spike coverings dried out they turned extremely sharp. They're plenty sharp when green and near maturity. I needed leather gloves (which didn't always prevent getting stuck) to gather some mature nuts from a 1962 planting on a public lot. Wait a day or two and the squirrels would've dehusked all of them. Latest forecast here is 8-12 followed by 3/4-1" RA, for a juicy mess. Six miles west in Farmington, it's 10-15" plus the RA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
