Not many times this winter we had a powerful storm around. Look at those pressure gradients
so the wind is just from that Great Lakes low pressure? or a coastal low as well? Any snow in upstate NY or northern New England from that low? Mt. Washington Observatory mentions a weaker coastal low:
Two low pressure systems will continue to move northeast, with one strengthening up the Maine coast and the stronger of the two passing to the north of New England. Widespread precipitation will continue with a wintry mix likely early tonight before transitioning to purely snow for higher elevations as a trailing cold front traverses the state. Behind this front, temperatures will plummet, reaching just above zero by sunrise and then continuing to fall throughout the forecast period to well below zero. Temperatures may be cold enough to break summit daily record lows on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. The lows will meet in the Canadian Maritimes early tomorrow morning and unite, strengthening as they then continue to move offshore. The pressure gradient between these lows and an incoming strong high pressure will dramatically tighten, boosting winds quickly above the century mark with peak gusts well above that.
Winds rose from calm to 70 mph on Mt. Washington in one hour. from the SPC hourly, looks like some flurries in upstate NY
With Strong Wind gusts and temps in the teens aloft, Lake Effect Streamers reaching the coast. Looking forward to another day with a "T".
Check out Mt Washington's wind gusts

Yeah, I saw that coastal low last night and didn't realize one formed. The pressure gradient would of been strong even without the coastal low IMO. Sub 980mb low in Canada would of meant 990 pressure for us anyway as High Pressure moved in.. That coastal low is too far north for us to feel the real affects of it. Maine and Nova Scotia feel it more.
Think about this... Winds have been strong from Ohio down to Virginia. Not because of that coastal storm. But because its there, I'm sure its a little factor too

Strong low pressure over the Canadian Maritimes will gradually
depart to the east through tonight. High pressure moves into
the region Tuesday and Tuesday night.
Low pres entering the Canadian Maritimes this morning will
continue to strengthen as it slowly tracks NE today. A strong
pressure gradient will remain in place across the area with
steep low level lapse rates assisting in momentum transfer of
strong winds aloft to the sfc. High Wind Warning remains in
effect through 6pm with sustained winds of 25-35 mph and gusts
up to 60 mph across the Tri-State Area.
62f is warm not cold. Would you wear a hat scarf and gloves at this temp?
I was joking. Compared to all of Feb 62f feels cool compared to the low of around 68 to 72f we have had this month. I have not worn a jacket since 2011 other than when i am nite fishing 80 miles offshore in the winter.
Nothing feels colder than snapper fishing at nite with 25knt winds blowing on 58f water temps and a air temp around 50f.
