High wind advisory

For Orange country.

Winds...west 25 to 35 mph with gusts up to 60 mph

BBQs are known to vanish off of decks and thermometers ripped off hinges. The pressure gradients look to be very interesting. I just hope my coal shed roof is up to par.

Had the grandson come over, cut it up, split it and fill the trailer (several times), he burns wood and I keep telling him coal is a lot easier on the back and cheaper too !!! But I let him work for the free wood !!!

We're expecting the winds here 24 to 36 hours from now. Hope we don't get as much free firewood as you did.

Power is already out in a few spots around us. Lots of ice, but not much wind (yet).

I better tighten the ratchet straps.

They are expecting winds to gust about 75 mph later with lake effect snow (once the temperature drops) heavy rain now !

We've been rocking and rolling here for awhile now, and sometime just before 10:00 AM the temperature started dropping like a rock. We've already lost 14 degrees since it was 54 degrees here at 10:00 AM and this trend is going to continue until we hit around 18 degrees sometime early tomorrow AM.

Per VentuSky we have 32 MPH sustained wind with 53 MPH gusts here right now. My boilers barometric damper is being given a serious workout. I'm watching the tree branches pile up in the front and back yards.

1/4" of ice on everything here, 1800ft. driveway is like an iced over bob sled run. Still light freezing rain, no wind yet but expected up to 55mph tonight. Don't have a generator but have kerosene lamps, flashlights, fresh batteries in the radio, fresh gas in the Sthil, ice cleats for the boots, and oh yes a Harman to cook on and stay warm. Three weeks till the start of spring they say.

Getting high wind here.

warminmn · Post by **warminmn** » Sun. Feb. 24, 2019 1:34 pm

Gusts over 50 here all last night and still. 10+" of snow thru the night but it has stopped snowing now. Seriously, the worst blizzard I have seen in my life, and thats saying a lot. too many 6 ft high drifts to count and I see 2 that are 8 feet or more. Supposed to die down by morning, the wind, but get -11 tonight. Gonna be fun blowing my way out tomorrow if that snow turns rock hard from the cold.

Im more than glad to send this east

I want no part of it but cannot do much about it. In my years on this earth I still cannot find one good use for wind other than drying the hay down to bale.

I shouldn’t have anything around here that can take flight but nonetheless after dinner I will go out and look around to be sure. My worry lies with the soft saturated soil that there will be trees laying all over the place.

That and watching the occasional thermometer coming through that started out on a back porch near Chazy.
