It thunders and bolts every year… but folks percolate and begin traveling hundreds of miles for a 5% chance at filming a brief downburst on their tripods. To each their own… Don't forget overestimating gusts by 75%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you live here...there is no appeal and they're an inconvenience when they fall. You have to clean them, they're slippery when wet, and they clog storm drains. They also mark up the cars. One can say almost the same things about snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, I always wonder what folks would do if they saw legit 50-60mph gusts in like wooded New England. I love the “gusts to 45 or maybe 50!” and like all obs are like 28mph. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWolf Posted Wednesday at 06:10 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 06:10 PM Let’s see how things look in about 3-3.5 weeks? If at that time the color is lousy, then we can say the foliage sucked this year. Until it peaks…the jury is out on how this year turns out. Last year it was muted until the last week or so before it peaked here, and then it came alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year it was muted until the last week or so before it peaked here, and then it came alive. There is some great color on certain branches of the sugar maples around here. (Like one branch has turned, and the rest of the tree is green.) If the entire tree follows suit, it will be great. Otherwise, outside of a few yellows and browns and dirty crimsons, it's still pretty green. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the “gusts to 45 or maybe 50!” and like all obs are like 28mph. Last Dec 18 we had 4 hours of gusts that I guesstimated as ~50 mph. At least half of the larger fir on our 80-acre woodlot were toppled, along with some aspen and a defective large basswood. Also, 2 of our 120-foot-tall pines had their tops blown off. The basswood and 3 of the fir fell across our road and our Generac had a 101-hour workout. I'm confident that an anemometer at 10 meters would've topped out below 40 but the 75-foot fir and those scattered big pines were catching a lot faster wind. Three months earlier we had 3 hours of ~40 mph gusts from Lee (and 0.02" RA compared to 4.21" in Dec), and the only tree damage was breaking off the 2nd fork from one of the tall pines and dumping a couple of defective fir, along with 2 hours of genny. 50 is a lot more real than 40. Hours of gusts 60 would wreck the woodlot - mine and many others'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
