NECT

Nevermind. You edited?

No love for me?

I get what you're selling. It's hard to predict where the heaviest banding will set up. West of the CT river and up into the Berks always seem to do well no matter the forecast. The snow hole will be somewhere too.

Right. Because with all the factors that go into a storm, this will be the deciding factor....

Makes sense. I was wondering how you convinced a family member to help you in your endeavor.

Who took the pics?

I could drive 10 miles S or E and buy gas for the generator I borrowed from my brother, go to a bank, or grocery store. It must have been a crazy few out in the Farmington/Avon/Simsbury/W. Hartford world.

Must have been 12/73. I was 5, so I have vague memories. Oct 2011 was really bad not for from me. We got about 8" which did a lot of damage, but noting like the war zones N/W of me, and nothing like your ice storm in 2008.

Yeah, the lasting effects of a few storms last winter was memorable, to say the least. 1978 closed schools for a week. All roads in CT were closed except to emergency vehicles - and there was widespread damage on the coast. Oct 2011 had a major impact, but probably not as widespread, but it hit CT hard in some spots. There was an ice storm in '74 (I think). I have vague recollections of being able to actually use flexible flyer runner sleds since the ice was so thick. No power for at least a few days. I don't remember 1888.
