So much damage.  From the helicopter video I grabbed this shot of a highrise.  Windows blown out with so much structural damage you can see right through some units.  Wonder how their  highrise building codes along resorts compare to Florida?  Andrew was a near miss for dense buildings but would Florida's highrises look like this if a true Cat 5 came ashore in Miami-Dade?

Where there a lot of casualties?

Always surprised how busy the last weekend in OCT usually is here with peepers.

Not much to look at..

 

Next town over from me, Sturbridge, MA is always inundated with peepers this time of year. I used to like it when I tended bar, I'd clean up for a couple weeks in October.

Very nice video! I may have not had much luck up there on my trip but the NC Mountains really popped this year!

Got some good reds and orange which was lacking over here, bright yellows and some muted reds here but it's much brighter there.

This, a thousand times.  Since Cool Spruce had the stroke (can it be a dozen years?) I've had more conversations here with Jeff than anyone else, and it's not close.  Now he's dealing with yet another personal tragedy while in shock for what happened a few miles to his north.  Stay strong, Jeff; others in your family need you.

You can tell just from interacting with him here that's he's such a good dude, really down to earth salt of the earth type.

Glad we not in CT

I'm at 68 here, maybe I'll hit 70 later.

Sorry for your loss Jeff, your family will be in my prayers today.

We still don't know if he targeted those he shot. However, if he didn't kill himself,  he is obviously an angry, unstable individual and could strike again somewhere.  That's the worrisome part of all this. 

Didn't he leave a suicide note to his son? I haven't read all posts so not sure if this has been discussed.

Even ORH is warmer than you. Are you near woods or something?

Not that unusual looking at this

Surrounded by them, I've been on the low side last couple of days, I was in Worcester earlier, it was much warmer.

81F fake heat here with about 1/2” of lady bugs everywhere; can’t saint for the cool down next week

I only got to 73 but getting inundated with stink bugs.

They're looking for some guy in Mass that killed his wife last night, was it a full moon last night?

Spoke with a good friend of mine that i bowled with and he played corn hole with Rob at Schmenngees in a league this past winter, He also bowled in the Weds night league at sparetime so now i know why he chose both places.

I know the lanes, I bowled there when I was on the tour. Such a sad day, hope they catch this guy soon.

Is it two guys or the same guy at two different places?

Just got home from the bowling alley, WTF, it's top news on yahoo, this is terrible.

Which brings to mind my greatest personal disappointment that I will take to my grave-being in Los Angeles for the blizzard of 78.   Keeping hope alive.

Hopefully we get a bigger one in the next couple of years.

Golf is pretty much year round in this area now. More and more places are staying open, as long as you are willing to walk.

Even when it does snow, it melts in a few days usually anyway. If you don’t mind walking and playing in somewhat chilly weather, you lose probably, at most, like 20 winter days here. 
 

Other than that, tee it up.

I remember golfing New Years eve here in 2008 or maybe 2007.

So then discuss the details . Cold all week, freezes for all, first flakes etc., what does it look like? Instead of 70 posts on old snow events .. let’s discuss the future 

Freeze at the beginning of November for most of us that haven't had one.

Is that photo from your place?

We’ve also been disproportionately warm compared to many other areas of the country as well. No doubt a CC signal in the background, but there’s definitely some short term fluctuations that are enhancing the background signal compared to the Plains for example. 

Even going up north during the 80s wasn't all that great. Went to Sugarloaf in the early 80s and they had a lousy pack and icy conditions. I don't think we saw snow on the ground until we were an hour away from the mountain. That's when I learned to ski on ice.

For some reason it seems worse, I know I didn't do as well as Worcester but I'm usually close.

Yes sir lol…my parents said the same thing.  Funny sh*t. 

I grew up in the 60s and 70s so I'm one of those, when I was a kid, we had snow up to our waist. You seem to forget the bad years mixed in and there's a few. When I was a bit older and got into skiing, that was the 80s which sucked.

Agreed Don…completely. 

I'd be happy with 50 inches and at least one 15+ incher.

Not around here they haven't been....the dryness is the ultimate killer over interior SNE for winter snowfall.

For ORH, the 1984-1992 period had 4 (!!) winters below 40" including a low of 28.1" in 1988-89. In the past decade, they have had zero winters below 40" with a low of 44.9" in 2019-2020.

 

Even a warmer spot like KBOS saw a much worse streak as well....1984-1992 for BOS had 5(!!!) winters below 30" with 3(!!) below 20". In the past decade, they've seen 3 winters below 30" with 2 of them below 20"....and you could probably write off one of those below 30" as fake since it was the year when they measured on Deer Island sewer plant and recorded 27.4" when everyone else had at least 35"+ around them. The only futility BOS excelled at in the most recent decade compared to the 1980s was the lowest season was slightly lower (12.4" last year vs 15.1" in '88-89)....but overall, that 1984-1992 period was a lot worse.

Will, what are Worcester's total snowfall the last 4 years?
