Sled Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 29 minutes ago, Patrick-02540 said: I agree. I'm on the top of a hill at about 940' and was out for three days after the 12/23/22 wind storm, and for 2 days a few weeks back. The previous owner built the house in 2003 with 24" steel i-beams and 2x8 exterior wall construction. I thought that was ridiculous until I lived here for a few months. That is massive overkill but I bet you sleep well. I'm at 420' on top of a hill with 2x6 walls and I haven't blown over yet. Was on a framing crew a while back and we had to do some steel I beam construction as part of a 24' tall vaulted room over staffordville lake for wind load. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would definitely be willing to give up a foot of snow if November 1950 walked through the door. My earliest wx memory. I was on our NNJ with Dad and older bro, watching the trees thrashing. When tops and limbs began flying around, Dad said it was time to go inside. Only competition for strongest wind experienced was on 12/31/62, the backside NW gales from the blizzard that ate BGR. Both gusted to near 70. Next tier is Hazel and Bob with G60+, then the April 1982 blizzard (in Fort Kent) along with 3 weeks ago, both with 50+ gusts for hours. And watching a "pure" cutter morph into a major front-end thump before changeover during the past 4 days has been entertaining. May it continue so the snow doesn't get soggified. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well cutters have a much bigger strike zone but it’s fascinating how easy it is for models to pour liquid qpf over the same zones run after run after run. I went back 14 cycles of the gfs and they’re basically carbon copies for CT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a welding fabricator, so it came natural to him. Nice not to have support posts in the garage. It's a 38x90 open space. The 2x8 walls is overkill, for sure. But I appreciate it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 925 NAM looked slightly less impressive for the 13th than for this one. Hopefully it's wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow hopefully I get the chance to see some big wind like that. The 1950s had many big cutters and hurricanes. The wind and cold snaps on 12/31/62 and Groundhog Day 1976 are super impressive. I always wonder how strong the winds got on Cold Friday in 1810. I heard that houses were unroofed and destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just noticed today that my pool water level is just below the cover...guess I will be out shoveling the mini glacier trying to access it so I can pump some water out before the great flood. I know as some point it is going to get cold enough to freeze and cause damage to the liner....I have had to pump out so much water from that thing since late June... When law of averages take over, it is going to drought like Southern Cal. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the model and what you believe to be true, maybe ~12 hours above 45 in your hood? That's roughly what the Euro and gfs have.

Look at how it lights up the elevations and also places 25-50 miles from the shore and misses the valleys. https://x.com/ericfisher/status/1744531434562265456?s=46&t=dhcbvkjmRcyBVQtDxJ3lRg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 3 hours ago, CoastalWx said: 10/29/21 was basically a cat 1 here. I can't recall those rains on leafed trees. Many parts of the S shore were over 85-90mph. The March 2018 storm was one of the most impressive events in winter that I can recall. My house was shaking. It also was extremely damaging on the coast. Marshfield had some of the worst damage since 78...probably up there with the Oct 91 storm and that's after new codes in place.

rimetree Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I'll consider it a win if this blows through quickly enough or get into a dry slot to avoid the basement issues. Holding onto a crusty inch or two of slush in the yard would nice too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
