  1. We've had our power out for about 3.5 hours now. 25.2 with a small coating of snow over the ice.
  2. Thanks @ORH_wxman and @HIPPYVALLEY . I know that over time the amazing snow forecasts turn into meh events and city-scouring winds turn into a windy day. Seat of the pants estimating is one thing. I'm glad to hear that knowledgeable people suggest that some discounting happen. It's that perspective thing - ice can be fun and beautiful in old pictures and a gigantic pain when you're looking at a super busy end of the week.
  3. Having had 12 days without power in 2008, I'm really not liking those graphics. All joking aside, what are the realistic chances of that Pivotal Weather forecast coming true? I'm living at the bottom of a hill around 825'. Thank you!
  4. I'm good with the sleet-fest. It'll probably be warm enough to scrap off and move out of the way. The disconnect between the two maps mildly irks my "data should be well coordinated" self.
  5. The BOX map has the .25-.5" ice accretion continuing east to about Townsend, MA. Yet, just over the border, GYX has the same range only going through maybe Rindge, NH. For those of us who live relatively near the NH/MA border, it's a conundrum. Do we have a relatively mild case of icing? Again, like so many posters, I'm not rooting for a major ice storm. The great photos of the sun through the iced, bent over branches didn't balance out the twelve days without power.
  6. I have 8" of snow and it's snowing pretty hard out there. Note: this is not one of those snowboards, perfectly level in exactly the right spot type of measurements.It's 26.6 degrees too.
  7. If that GEM run were to verify.... New Ipswich isn't that far away from me.
  8. I hope she heals quickly! And if something doesn't seem right, keep pushing for another opinion. My family has some experience with this. And @moneypitmike, I'm glad to hear that the angels were on your side this morning too.
  9. If you could direct message me, I can give you some suggestions for a contact at the Dublin School and New Ipswich, on the east side of Barrett Mountain.

  10. James - Glad you're so enthusiastic about the weather. And everyone makes mistakes! 

  11. Make sure that your electrical connections are safe. When we put in our generator years ago the electrical work was nearly as expensive as the generator.
