I'm in the middle of 200+ acres of corn that was just harvested. Plenty of space for them to disappear. Still quite windy out.
Up here at deer camp (central ny) we had some really strong winds blow through last night around midnight. Calmed down quite a bit for the guys to hit the woods this mornin. Im sippin coffee at camp, got mine on sat afternoon
My weather alarm went off multiple times last night. At approx. 2:57 a.m. it went off again, this time the storm with 60+mph winds possible to directly hit my area at 3:05 a.m. Now, when there is wind involved, I get a little bit freaked out. As some of you know, we have a 60' pin oak that grows right out of our deck and kind of turns right over the house. I immediately got up when the alarm went off to see what we had outside, checked the radar, and noticed the worst would stay south of us. We got some nasty gusts, and only lost a 8ft limb, that was only about 2 inches thick, so I was happy. All the weather guys said that this would be an interior NE event overnight, shows they were wrong again.....
Glad that Pin Oak stayed put, what type of radio do you have for alerts or did I already ask. I remember a few members had Midland.
This is a 10+ year old radio shack unit, with specific area message encoder. I have it attached to an outside antenna.
A deep cyclone moving through eastern Canada and a strengthening high pressure system in its wake will team forces and sweep a defined frontal zone across the western Atlantic slowly southward through Florida through Wednesday evening. Thunderstorms are expected to focus near the quasi-stationary front from northeast Mexico and southern Texas eastward across the Gulf of Mexico into Florida over the next couple days. The cold air in the wake of the cyclone driven across the unfrozen Great Lakes will spread snow showers across Michigan late Monday, shifting eastward into northern and western New York and northern New England Tuesday into early Wednesday morning. Conditions will become increasingly wet across the northwestern states as a Pacific front and associated moisture in its wake washes onshore on Monday as cold air spreads into the region aloft. Showers and thunderstorms should erupt skyward within this unstable airmass, with snows at higher elevations and rains near valley floors. A strengthening surface high moves into the region from western Canada, leading to colder conditions across the Northwest and northern Plains by Tuesday night. Within the cold air mass, forced ascent within a low-level upslope flow regime will lead to light to moderate snows along eastern slopes of the northern Rockies across central Montana Tuesday into Wednesday.
