I really don't want all that wind! I hope it stays out to sea.

And cold/snow due to the arctic low. Might be time to prep a bit. Better safe then sorry IMO.

The computer models(some of them) are predicting the
most powerful American storm ever-just in time for the elections......

Not looking forward to this. Could be worse than last year. I hope it goes out to sea!

Fingers crossed that it'll bring warm air and push the arctic low somewhere else.
Once these big storms hit land, don't they usually fizzle?

20+C in Toronto today...sheesh, their summer is back and I'm jealous. 😐

EDIT: holy cow, I now see what you folks are talking about! &nbimages=1&clf=1 😯 😯 😯

were supposed to get alot of rain and wind here in NJ, My nanas will like the rain, but not so much the wind!! Trees still have leaves on them so that is also a problem, many trees may fall due to the greater surface area. Power outages???

There is (or was )some concern this storm could bomb out along a
deep trough(frontal boundary)and become a super storm but I think
regardless,even as a minimal hurricane there is a serious issue with
where it may hit-possibly just south of NY.Minimal is still 74mph!

This trough/front is the same one that dropped our temps 21F in less than an hour-
I was looking at the temp here at 7am today and it was 74f,I looked again at the temp outside
a little later and saw it was 53f-only 50f tomorrow(etc) with temps around freezing at night
after a morning low(yesterday)of 66 and a high of 86,the low last night was 77f! 😀

Yeah, Mike. What you should do if they forcast heavy wet snow, is to bend that big beautiful fargesia down tot he ground, and hope no culms snap.....

Hi Jim,

those temps are a slap in the face!

YES...A COLD SLAP.

Looks like it will be dry and 30/33 to 50/55 moderating
to 40/low 60s-very blockey pattern with the hurricane and
a negative A.O.not a problem for the palms and cactus! :thumbleft: :hello1: :headbang: :wav:
