I would hate to work at a grocery store tomorrow…

This thread would be at 400 pages by now if he was here. RIP

Starting to mix in Malden

I found my walkway! Hubbardston, MA. Starting off A December to remember.

Imagine an entire winter of nowcast...

See, Alabama will be affected

Hi-Res NAM has Dorian bottoming out at 885 MB over the Bahamas!

My old place in Lunenburg. At the height of the 2015 pack, over 40” in the untouched areas. I loved walking through the “tunnels” to my driveway every morning.

Same here, I was like a kid driving around the next day. I took a ton of photos, but they were all stored on a hard drive that got put into our attic somehow. Let’s just say it didn’t make it...

In 08, I lived in a 3 family in Clinton, Ma. I remember reading the disco the night before (pre-lurker days) and there was not a warning for significant ice, they were calling for a glaze. I got up at 5, did my usual routine and went out to start the car to find a nice candy shell on it. Driveway was a skating rink, but I managed to get out and started my commute down the hill towards Bolton. I came upon three cars at a dead stop in the middle of the road and thought, “what the hell are these a-holes doing!” All of the sudden, they all started backing up like madmen, and I saw the tree falling into the road. It was eerily beautiful, like a crystal chandelier, but I quickly joined in the reverse parade. I did a u-turn to take a different route, but no matter which road I went down, there was no way through. At that point, I started heading back home, dodging limbs that were falling in real-time all around me. I finally got home, my wife asked me what was going on and I told her it was like a war zone outside. I then called my boss, who was in N. Reading to explain that I couldn’t make it to work. He was pretty PI$$ed off, because it was plain rain up his way. I told him to turn on the news and call me back. After about ten minutes, he called me and just said, “wow, we’re gonna be busy”. I was a residential electrician at the time. After sunrise, I watched from our third floor bedroom window as massive pines were being decimated one after another. I then told my wife I wanted to go outside and watch. As soon as I got to the end of the driveway, a huge oak split in two and took out two telephone poles on my street. I ran back inside before the wires could even hit the ground. absolutley insane seeing the trees bent all the way to the ground. We only lost power for about 4 hours, because we shared the same feeder as the hospital, but the rest of town was out for a week!

Punxatawney says we spring

So much time wasted snow-blowing on Monday...

Worcester Icestorm enroute?

They didn’t give any specific amounts, just during a briefing we were told that the potential for “infrastructure damaging” ice was increasing and shifting north.
