Wind ripping already.  Not a good day to be under the ash trees.    Up to 55.1 in NW Chesco.

[chescowx]

Up to 53.6 here in NW Chesco - high wind gust so far 16 mph on VP and 15.6 on Tempest

42.6F with some fog and mist; taking a while for the warm front to arrive

Pretty much as expected, us northern folks have to wait a extra few hours as the front draws closer. My snowman has been safely moved to the garage. It's dank and cold out currently.

Update on today's potential records. Maxes in this area have slipped a bit so iffier for phl, ilg etc. On-the-other hand  maxes have increased around Lakes Erie and Ontario so Tom may have a shot.

Hello warm front. 

[tombo82685]

This should be fun up here tonight. Gusts to 55 with snow and thunder 

[susqushawn]

Squall line beefing up on approach 

[Parsley]

30-40 mph gusts here. Pounding rain. 

[Robnj88]

Brief but strong gusts at the line came through here. Ever since the tornado I think I react a little differently to the wind. 

[mshaffer526]

Wind has shifted from south to north quickly. 

Highest winds my Ambient has picked up since April!  Sustained wind speed around mid day and biggest gust 40 minutes ago

[mshaffer526]

That said, this is definitely the strongest sustained wind I can remember in a while. 

[Gaia]

Listen to this roar!

[cbelke]

0.19" out of the squall line, highest winds gust was 34 mph, and I'm in a sheltered area. I would think the winds were pushing 40 - 50 mph in the open.

[Chubbs]

Updated record list. A couple of sites ticked higher in the eve

 

[Chubbs]

0.25" , 64.9 high, winds similar to last big front

[Rainshadow]

67F for high, 0.21” precipitation, bias adjusted 39 mph wind gust. I’d say here it was windier on Monday night 

[rramblings]

7:30 AM Dec 11: .25 inches of rain, most during the Dec 10th storm. My digital thermometer only remembers the current day and forgot to check yesterday. My Subbie said it was 60F at about 1 PM on Dec 10th. 🙂

Interesting surpassing 1971 which was one of my analog winters.

FYI. Don't skimp on generator size, go bigger than you need. I have a Honda EM6500SX and after figuring out the whole house load, I only needed about 3000 watts, but it was also able to run my 5500 watt hot tub heater as well, and in the summer, it can handle the HVAC easily. The Honda generators can handle a lot more than what they are rated. If you want the best Honda, get the EU7000iS, but its expensive. Both have clean power to run your appliances and sensitive electronic equipment.

Honestly, I just want something for the heat, thats all. I don't need it for anything else. I can keep myself occupied if no power and lets face it, at most you may be without power for, what 2 or 3 days? Crews responded very quickly here.  No power and no heat with cold temps scares the poo out of me with no back up heat source.
