> [@Motocrossx23](#): > > Lake flood warning, 3-5’ above flood levels, yikes. I was just looking at the hourly forecast and it’s pretty nuts. The SUSTAINED winds hit 30mph Friday around 10am and don’t dip below 30 until 5pm SATURDAY. Meanwhile Friday by 10am the gusts are already over 50mph and dont’ go below 50 until 5pm Saturday. It’s not until 9pm Monday that the sustained falls below 15 and the gusts fall below 30. I’m guessing by then you’ll be able to walk out in the middle of Lake Erie in Toledo, OH without getting your feet wet because all their water will be at our end of the lake. ---

Williamsville just sent the txt, they’re closed tomorrow. We were just talking about how much worse storms like this must have been before technology. The date is 12/22/1840. It’s 34 degrees and partly sunny right now with almost no wind. Perfect day to hitch up the horse and buggy and head out to see uncle Jebediah for the holiday. 24 hours later you’ve frozen to death in a blizzard you had no idea was coming. ---

When I lived up on the northern border of NY and Quebec I saw temps like that. One night working at the full service gas station on the rez it was -40 ambient with a -63 windchill. Working outside in that can fuck all the way off. EDIT: Just got the email that my company is going full remote tomorrow. Not that it matters for me because today is my last day until 12/29. Would have taken all of next week off but year end gets crazy and I need to be here. ---

It might be hyperbole but the models and some of the mets are making this thing sound like it will rival 77’ Several models are predicting almost 8’ of snow with 50mph gusts through sunday night ---
