We got another 2-3" last night. Many side and main roads (e.g., rt. 202, 26) are still closed/impassable. According to the last update 80% of town is without power. Ill be using more leave time today.

GYX WFO phones must be down, Tried calling in.

Not surprised. Just drove around for an hour and every direction other than 95 was blocked by downed trees and lines. The one open gas station in town had a 15-20 car line. 

The community pages on FB are reporting Rt. 26 and 202 are impassable in multiple areas. 

Radar just keeps bringing the bands in. Solid 2" rates for the past hour. We are probably close to 20"

It is awesome. 

Just did the driveway. The Toro really is impressive. Just blew through 15-16" like nothing. 

At least 10" and gennies are buzzing.

Absolutely ripping. Over 2" of paste down so far. 

Over an 1" down on the non-paved surfaces. Roads starting to whiten up.

If your tools are(Locked) in the garage…you’re shit out of luck. 

Never thought of that. I just always have a cordless drill in my truck, house, then a third in the garage.

I did that once but ended up getting it open with a credit card, depends on the kind of lock you have though.

Drill through the lock.  Just ask @MBRI

The garage door had a 3/4" hole straight through from the time I was in middle school until at least grad school lol

I did check other windows and doors but knew they were locked. That glass was tough to break. Had to throw it like a baseball to bust it

The Sox are doing well but I think the Mets are looking for pitchers.

The Reggie version of the HRRR seems super warm tomorrow evening.

I've been paying attention to it the past few storms and it seems to really over-does thermals.

Yeah huge recipe for big slides and increased visitation due to storm hype.  Add in eclipse on Monday… lots of people wandering around to summits.  Another avalanche event somewhere not impossible.

Oh jeez, I forgot about the eclipse. As if this year wasn't bad enough with people hiking up in sneakers and needing a rescue.

I’d like to see the snowfall numbers for Washington and Katahdin this winter.  Not that much can be measured up high.

I wish more of it blew over to Wildcat. The Sherb has been loaded all year.

Yeah, guess unfortunately we'll just have to wait and see

It is usually so damn good at sniffing out those warm layers but was sniffing glue for the last event.

Assuming that the forecast for the Presidential Range holds, any opinions on the expected quality of the snow? Any chance of dry powder? Thanks.

Given the recent weather and now feet of snow avy risk will be pretty high.

Ha, Well my plans were to be on the lake next weekend, My boats in Alfred at my brothers, He just unwrapped it but he had a branch off a 200 yr old maple fall all across his yard and missed the boat by 3' from that last storm where they got ice when we had the sleet, So he's cutting that up today so i wont go down to get it until next week now but i'm ready to fish.

Ouch, that could have ruined the season. Ill be happy just getting mine loaded and fired up on muffs next weekend. It is currently in the garage buried under all about 20 Plano cases, 40 lbs of plastic baits,  and a couple dozen rods. Guess it is time to start the annual fishing thread.

Driveway that normally takes an hr or so took 4hrs, It was like cement, Made the first pass down ad thought i was doing real good until i figured out i only got about 1/2" off and i was riding on top of it......................

Yup! At least it will be pushing 50* afterwards. My concern now is the boat ramps, first bass tournament of the year is in two weeks in the Belgrade area.

Worst i had ever seen actually. I would be much wiser this time around if its looking like that again and not remove the snow until its done.

Same here lol. Lesson learned.
