AWT That area rocks in these. Foxboro/TAN over to Dedham or so will be crushed

Water vapor loop is pretty classic. Live link http://www.goes.noaa.gov/GSSLOOPS/ecwv.html

Just started looking for the first time since 6AM, Still looking like 2 feet on all guidance for there.

Yeah. Could easily happen. Big swath of moisture just waiting to phase into snow. OES could be interesting for you today

Ginxybullseye. Nice

Geez, Quincy's numbers throw 28.9" my way averaging the major guidance. I am happy with >12"

I have a shed out back if you want to use it

It will just (maybe) be a little less zonked at that point....or maybe not

Any thoughts on Hull, MA? I trust your tide knowledge the most. I know that is not your geographic hood though

It is so weird that he and Harv are working for the same place.,he is the worst

We lost 2 weeks plus in Foxboro. School roof caved in...best winter ever

Don Kent and Harv ftw

Jerry, Dec 2007 gridlock,storm? Plenty of notice, people were still dumb. I know there were other factors. And the road thing was just a tiny piece of that storm. The coastal impacts were the biggest IMHO. 40+" of snow, hurricane winds well inland, collapse of power grid! many structural failures also an issue. Lots of people dying from trying to shovel too But you know all this. I just get wound up.

I think having one in a subforum is a good idea. Even if it mirrors one in the main thread. This is helpful

Ryan, in the first video you had a swath of 10-15" Did you want to go higher? Are there forces that keep it in check?

CL&p saved him some great stuff

Right, but my school missed the 2 weeks, the vacation, then more...probably at least another weekAnyway, a dear friend of mine (who passed away in 2010), taught in Harvard Public Schools during Feb 1969. They missed over 3 weeks (including the vacation) that year

Actually longer out of school for me... over 3 weeks! From The Foxboro Reporter: "It would be three full weeks before the students would return to school. It took two weeks to clear the school grounds and clear snow from the buildings. But it was further decided to leave the April vacation in place as planned. State law mandates 180 days or 900 hours of school. Foxboro had a longer school day than most towns, and only had to extend the school year by one day to satisfy state requirements. For students in the former Lewis School on Mechanic Street, it would be even longer before they got back to their regular classrooms, as the school roof collapsed under the weight of the storm. Repairs were delayed when it was realized that changes made during construction had dropped the roof below state safety standards, so students would be temporarily housed in the Igo School Administration Center, now Igo Elementary School, displacing several town and civic agencies that also shared the space."

I missed at least 2 weeks (probably more like 3) due to the Blizzard of 78 My school's roof caved in.

It's not the best book, but it gives some cool anectodal stuff. Very little met info. Some people we know are quoted

Awesome video Ryan. better than milking cows

Tip could write the prologue... ... of course that might be longer than the book itself

Will, did you ever get a copy of this?

At least in the metro-Boston area I disagree. AWD doesn't help if the roads are full of stuck semis, etc. But the weekend thing, maybe. Also, today the forecast might have kept more people at home Plows are not much different than they were back then.

Yeah, I was living in Lowell and it was certainly a fun storm.But to get 35"+ like they probably did here would be top 5 for sureI think Lowell had 18" or so
