Was watching the neighbors 150ft poplar tree bending in the gusts earlier, and wondering if tonight is the night it finally falls over with 50-60mph gusts possible from a unorthodox N/NW direction
I never understand ALL the hype about the beast from the east. For here you need to get the cold air in and then have a atlantic low push in against the cold air then stall and slide away south east.
That's pretty much the only way to get a decent snow event here.
