October 2018 Observations & Discussions

It looks to me the center circulation ended up further off the coast because it missed the phase with northern energy. The GFS was pretty consistent of a missing phase while the NAM and EURO kept showing a much more impactful storm.

If this were winter - many people may have expexted 12+" of snow only to see 3 to 6 inches. But the coast, especially Jersey Shore seem to be getting hit well.

Still very windy Northeast winds 35 mph with gusts up to 45 mph wait live rain occasionally moderate rain lots leaves are on the ground

As usual I'm in the nope zone as I'm go call it. Barely raining and never saw any wind yet I'm only 5 miles from hudson river and 10 from the spund.

That's crazy and we are not to far from each other even over here we did not get that much rain to me this is more of a wind storm . I was driving around my area nothing crazy just a couple tree branches down nothing major and Long Island Sound the waves are hitting the Seawall coming over the street no flooding yet nothing to major

Poured here on LI overnight. Winds were ridiculous from 6 till about an hour ago. Many gusts waaaaaay over 50mph. Power out in a lot of my neighborhood and many branches down.

I’m sitting in a Convenience store parking lot waiting to cross the bridge to my shore town. My friend phoned me from our house to tell me the island is flooded and I probably can’t get to the house right now (she thinks the water may be in her car parked outside). Not surprised as the water in the marshes along the Parkway was right up to the roadway. If I can get good pics I’ll post.

She was right, can’t get to my house. But did get some pics of the streets near my house.

Here’s our street (now a canal?)

It made it up to the garage door, but not inside thankfully. She’s worried about her car, but waiting for water to recede before checking.

It was a impressive storm just not here. I have to look at the whole picture. Over long island winds gusted as high as 66mph. Way higher than predicted. Coastal flooding was moderate to high. Even in ct and my home town had flooding damage. For the like 12th time our dock front restaurant was destroyed. I'm pretty sure he said his last rebuild was going to be it. I think that was sandy. Sad I had many fond memory drinking and eating there. Winds very close to me got over 50mph so I guess all in all it was spot on except maybe rain totals. They seemed pretty low. I live in between two steep hills I think this plays a factor in lack of winds. Its almost like a small valley. Lower snow totals and more rain than snow I'm not sure why I always seem to be in the nope none for you zone. I'm just selfish I want to get hit hard for once lol

On another note I'm seeing hints of another nor Easter on models first full week of Nov. Can we squeeze any snow out this time? I need so.e kind of excitement my weather deprivation is ever increasing lol

Hopefully the next Nor'easter will not be that bad as yesterday because of the wind. I spent almost two hours cleaning up the leaves around my property between blowing mulching and making a pile of the leaves every time I was finished I had more leaves come onto my property.

tx mugs ...

Looks like a quiet and milder week. Some rain late Thursday into Friday. Even some tomorrow morning. A lot of the analogs for the winter have a pretty mild November actually. It may not get cold again until Thanksgiving time. And by cold I mean below normal...

1.02" was my total for the storm yesterday, lost a decent size branch, but otherwise no issues in my neck of the woods. Looking forward to some 60's this week, it has been so damp, maybe we can dry out a little.

If this comes to fruition then it would be much earlier than Turkey day.

GEFS MJO Wave would coincide with this colder look

I can attest to the flooding down by the hook...Union beach the town next to me was under water the other day.

I forgot to report but we had a pretty good line of thunderstorms run through my area about 5:30am this morning. Had a really nice lightning show that was right on top of us with winds picking up to about 50-60mph and pebble size hail. These types of storms don’t happen by me very often. Same line produced a tornado warning on Block Island
