Is the wind part of things over now? I’m abroad and stressed out about my house haha (South Fairfield county)

Still gusty in Danbury. Was worse an hour ago I would say. Or maybe just because it was dark….

Wind isn't a huge issue. It will probably kick some things around that knocks into power lines, causing some power outages.

If you are close to the shore, flooding is something to be concerned about.

What? Wind is what is going to cause power outages and closes roads

We are in a better situation than most of the country at the moment. Don't go outside and prepare for power outages as best you can. There is no risk of storms that can create highly destructive conditions. Hope you trimmed your trees, but at least you won't have to find your car 4 blocks over.

I'm originally from Connecticut and now in Ohio we are having strong wind all day and currently our real feel is about -21 and will be dipping down throughout the day.

I'm not a meteorologist, but when a high-pressure system meets a low-pressure system, things get pretty fucked up.

Thanks - well it is an issue for me to lose power because my heat functions with Water so I could not shut it off before leaving. So if I’m out of power when freezing temperatures hit, my pipes will likely burst… and I am in Singapore haha

We pay exorbitant amounts to Eversource. I know there are a lot of expected power outages throughout the state, so they are staffing a lot of people to try and handle it. Low Temps won't hit until later, but if it is an emergency, they might be able to provide guidance.
