Big Bill Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Here in Jersey we have light rain and the wind is blowing at about 7mph, really not worth mentioning. After reading what happened yesterday in the mid-west, I was expecting much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyK Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 This is probably a record extra tropical overland cyclone for the US. It ranks with super blizzards of the past. The weatherman reported, "Bigfork, MN at 4:33 PM (10/27/2010)recorded a central barometric pressure of 954.6 millibars, or 28.22" of mercury."

TommyK Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 Here in Jersey we have light rain and the wind is blowing at about 7mph, really not worth mentioning. After reading what happened yesterday in the mid-west, I was expecting much more. It's not moving very fast. There appears to be a Low pressure cell centered north of Lake Nipigon in Ontario. It has been moving slowly eastward. Oh, it's coming your way. Just be forewarned. My link Nipigon is that smaller lake north of Lake Superior. The swirl of clouds extends a tail all the way to Oklahoma. Any colder and we'd be shoveling an immense amount of snow. The breeze here is still pretty stiff, gusts to 40 mph. Should abate by supper time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bill Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 The knot heads here are forecasting nice weather for the rest of the week. So you're probably right, we're going to get very wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Here it the Great Lakes we're getting bigger gusts today than yesterday. Batten down the hatches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
