Yeah we had some heavy rain in decent gusts but you can tell it’s not quite mixing down this low. Sounds like a freight train up above in the sky though.

Wind has shifted here. A steady dull roar overhead.

Lost power a couple of minutes after I got home.  Between the fog being blown sideways taking vis to near zero, pelting rain, and awful mud ruts, and driving under the birch tree hanging 5 feet in the air across the whole road, the last 5 miles were about as scary a drive as I have done in years.  By the time I reached the tree being held up by power lines, I was committed as the road is lined with birch and pines, the line was about to hit and I didn't know that I could get off the road if I didn't keep going.

Damn

Mitch!

Pretty strong gusts here.  Umass radar has 65 MPH velocities a few hundred feet off the deck

[ineedsnow]

Wow wild here now

[Patrick-02540]

The great temp plunge has begun.  Lost 3 degrees in the last 15 minutes. 23mph, gusts to 35.

[HIPPYVALLEY]

My house is quite sheltered and still some impressive gusts past 15 minutes.  Absolutely roaring up high. 

[FXWX]

Pretty weak results here at 1,140'... max gusts only 32 mph... expect to do better Thursday with the backside winds...

[ineedsnow]

that was a fun few minutes

[dendrite]

Will the 35mph gusts wake up DIT?

[eekuasepinniW]

my body is ready

[kdxken]

Got another good one at Orange airport. 58 mph. Looks fairly pedestrian other places. Hopefully it cranks up.

Stay safe.

[Cold Miser]

What time should I expect the massive wind show?

[dryslot]

it will be meh for most as usual.

[wxeyeNH]

Front went through at 9:25pm, 15 minutes ago.  Very brief heavy rain but meh on the wind.  It's roaring in the trees and I'm sheltered due west but my high wind gust was only 23mph.  Temp is down from 50F to 44F

estimating 50 to 55 mph in one of the better gust here... didnt last long though 

[Typhoon Tip]

And attenuation is complete

… go figure. 

[#NoPoles]

We lost power right before the front went through. Lots of outages on Eversource map in NH and MA

[AstronomyEnjoyer]

Damn, just heard a bug smasher flying overhead. Wouldn't catch me in one of those, in this weather, in the dark. Hope that pilot has a lot of IFR hours.

[Torch Tiger]

I'm ready!!

I had one pass over about 10 minutes before the front.  I watched him land at Oxford just in time.  

[HIPPYVALLEY]

Had a nice five minute sleet fest here.  
Now just light rain with a few flakes mixed in.

[eekuasepinniW]

Slow to build, but ultimately pretty impressive. Nice satisfying roar. 7/10.

[HoarfrostHubb]

Driving back from Worcester.  Temp went from 54 to 37 quickly. Some flakes mixed in. Almost hit a fallen tree.    Wild wind 

[Torch Tiger]
