Mount Washington held the record for 231MPH winds <<<
(Notice the building is chained down )
The record was broken in Australia with 253 MPH winds according to the story at the link.
Sre, the Aussies broke the record, but is the weather (where they were in Australia) like that consistently? I think not.
ReplyDeleteMt Washington is kinda special in that regard!
Those winds just a tad above normal in Oklahoma
ReplyDeleteWMUR weather snow forecast totals have been terrible recently. Dec 2020’s 40” (here in Cornish) was forecast for 6”-10”, and this last week’s snowfall of 2 feet (Cornish again) was also supposed to be 6”-10”. Best, most intensive forecast is still Boston’s NESN, IMO.
ReplyDeleteOr NOAA.gov, for those tasty .gov cookies.
We get winds like that from our daily thunderstorms if FL during the summer. At least we get cool lightning with ours, not frozen testicles and broken-off nipples.
ReplyDeleteWe call that a nice Monday in Wyoming
ReplyDeleteMt Washington used to be one of my have to do it stops every time I got to New England. Make sure your brakes are good.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an emergency anchor may be in order, just in case?
DeleteI wonder what the temperature was during that wind. Adjusted for wind chill, it must have been dire.
ReplyDeleteQ: I'd appreciate knowing the supplier of cold weather clothing for the Mt Washington crew.
ReplyDeleteA short while back Tactical Advantage Gear stated they tested their products there; TAG seems to have ended, and I've not found another source like them.
we broke 60 mph several time during the snowstorm here in NW Indiana, not all that unusual, really.
ReplyDeletethe lights never flickered at my home either....
A gust of wind slammed into my condo as the front passed through here in central New England that shook the whole place. I had to go check to make sure that all of the windows were intact. Thank the Lord all of that rain we got, +2", wasn't snow.
ReplyDeleteHow's the paddock Irish? Nice and juicy? Probably really frozen by now? I bet that makes policing up the horse apples difficult. ;-))

If it's not above 45 in Kansas its just a breeze. 60 is nothing unusual
ReplyDeleteYeah, that was one screwed up storm. I'm outside of Philly and live up against a state park. The wind took down a park tree and that took out my power lines.
ReplyDeleteThat was 1:45pm on Friday. We went almost 70 hours without power. We got it back today (Monday) at 11 am. Luckily, I have a portable generator so we had heat, fridge, and a couple of lights.
What a Christmas!
While NH got some storm damage, I saw neighbors helping and checking in on neighbors.
ReplyDeleteNot so much in Buffalo, New York State.
Snip: Daniel Neaverth Jr., the Erie County commissioner of Emergency Services, said more than a dozen gas stations in the county have been reported inoperable "because the convenience side of them has been looted and the equipment inside has been rendered ineffective and thus the pumps for the fueling are ineffective."
Neaverth said the looting was hampering emergency vehicles from fueling up.
"So if you don't think there's a trickle down from going looting and grabbing individual little things, this is a drastic implication for us that we now have to deal with to find alternate fuel sources," Neaverth said.
Deep snow and power outages are something Buffalo deals with yearly, so Emergency Services has some gas stations equipped with generators for emergencies.
Good work Gimmie Dats! Just a few hours of grid down and off you go.
Now picture power down across a wide area for any real length of time.
