    Default Extreme over New England?

    What's the story? I have never seen extreme here...curious about what happened. I live in Vt and know the weather's been terrible lately.

    The majority of times, when you see extreme, it's usually some little airplane, like a Piper, although it certainly happens in bigger planes.

    Here's the report.
    PVD UUA /OV PVD045010 /TM 1351 /FL360 /TP C560 /TB EXTRM

    A C560 is this:

    Very small, and probably an isolated incident. It may have gotten in to the wake of a larger plane. On a larger plane, it would probably be at most Moderate.
