My wife said it was snowing at home. My son and I decided to not go snowmobiling and came to Ottawa for Rangers vs Senators tomorrow. The wind was crazy all the way up here. Car got pushed around on the interstate a lot.

I won’t lie, I think 45-60mph measured over a large area is a fun weather day.  

for the areas hitting 55 or especially 65, yeah lol.  I'm not arguing some peeps got hit good.  We hit like 70? ish in Hanover/Pembroke during the first killer cutter Dec 2023, on a south wind and 60ish F.  It was quite different

He’s still recovering from his fall. Logan was on and off 50kts+ for 12 hours. Peak 56kts. The best HWW in a wind advisory ever. Many areas gusted over 50kts. 

I am not at Logan. :facepalm: the wind peaked at around 45kt? here at best, maybe less but generously.  Mostly 40kt gusts

I had the "joy" of driving through that.  There was an incredibly heavy batch between Waterbury Center and 89 and then very heavy on 89 from Waterbury to between Middlesex and Montpelier.  Multiple cars off of 89.

There was a mercifully short stretch on 100 where I could not make out the tracks made by a pickup which was less than 100 yards ahead of me.

Yeah for sure, wind events can be localized.  It might not be the most impressive event for a particular location, but the obs over a large geographic zone is a sign of a solid event.

We only got on the fringe echos, but the flake growth was big and fluffy.  Only a half inch of air here.

The 30-35dbz echoes had to be 1-2”/hr rates.
