For sure, anything over 12mph is 2-3 footers lol. Looked on velocity there was something happening before going over the southern part of the Q. Stolen from FB.
I can't imagine what the traffic was like. The summer prior we were staying with friends in Truro and leaving to go meetup with others in Freeport, Maine. Was a random Tues/Wed and a line of storms went through, nothing crazy just a decent severe storm. A couple trees went down and it took us over 4 hours to get from Truro to the Canal.
Can't say I remember seeing this before. Lots of younger white and black birch trees in our neighborhood have leaves going yellow already. The neighbors have a 40 footer that is turning as well. Lack of rain fall?
Nothing really memorable but a fun evening storm. Hours of thunder and lightning, no winds to speak of, power flashing (lost it for about 5 minutes at one point), over an inch of rain. Southern and eastern areas should do better today.
Bit more banding in central Mass. UMass got 6-7" and we are about 8 miles east and grabbed 16" the second night and it was out area NE up to around Hubby.
I couldn't complain about last winter after that storm. 26" total here and a 3-4" forecast turned into almost 16" on the night of the 2nd. I will never forget waking up at 4am and turning those porch lights on.
Since I will likely be remote all winter and home with the baby I fully expect this winter to be cold and snowy so have double the amount of firewood ready compared to last year.
