Did it turn out as big as thought?
It basically means after midnight but before daybreak. In English we have no word for it. We refer to it as in the "wee wee hours" or "small hours" of the morning.
My dad used to tell us kids that that was when you wanted to be at home and off the streets because all of the drunks, criminals and weirdoes were out and about between midnight and dawn. Good advice, Dad.

Hilarious!!
It hasn't been determined yet. One reporting buoy had the minimum pressure within 1.5 millibars of a record low but the center of the storm didn't pass over that buoy.
It probably will be a record low pressure for the north Pacific. Winds were 100+ knots out at Shemya for 12 hours. Sea states were 50-60 feet. Glad I wasn't out there.
It's a good thing that the storm was at its strongest way out in the sparsely populated Aleutian islands/Bering Sea.
I do that every 6 weeks or so. I work shiftwork, so my sleep patterns are all messed up at the best of times.
It does seem to help. Just don’t use booze to keep you awake, it nullifies the reset because you’re too hung over to function the next couple of days...
I kept watching shemya and the buoys but never saw anything big. Wish she ya had a web cam to see the sea. I wish I could be there to see the weather. It must be a bear to maintain the buoys!
