There are thousands of ducks off the old condo over the past few days (when I've been home).... I'm guessing somewhere in the range of 3-4000 Long-tails, 2500 Surf Scoters and 2000 White-winged Scoters - but who really knows.. It's not like I can count them easily...
Different day, different duck carpet...

This day in History (from my Oct 25th, 2012 blog) -
Just pulled some stuff off the world wide webs....... This part was posted by a user on a weather blog:
--
12z runs in good agreement for Superstorm Sandy
12z Euro...932mbs
12z GFS...941mbs
12z GFDL...925mbs
12z CMC...939mbs
12z UKMET...945mbs
That is a 5 model consensus on a storm going under 945mbs in October off the East coast, in less than 5 days. The only global model outlier was the HWRF which kept it in the 950s because it didn't hook the storm back in to the east coast. Regardless, the modeled event has probably never happened before for this time of year. A sub 945mb storm off the East Coast in October is incredibly rare and likely the lowest pressure ever for an extratropical/subtropical storm in this region of the world in October. As Levi put it, this would redefine the 'Perfect Storm'.
It is 4 days out though, so there's room for model error.
