    I've gotten a report of 38" fallen in Harrisville, N.H. near Mt. Monadnock. This is quite the landmark event in that having spent 4 years in the 1960's at school atop a 1,500 foot hill in Harrisville, the most I remember on the ground is about 3 feet after the momentous storms of February, 1969 with possibly some residuals left over from the epic blizzard, the worst I've ever witnessed, of November 12, 1968, as well as subsequent snows. So 38" from one storm is indeed epic and historical.

    About that, though wet and compacting as it fell, so hard to be exact. As you note, after the initial burst, light to moderate since adding some icing on the sloppy cake.

    Suddenly back to heavy snow in Monson, MA after the protracted dry slot.

    Moderate snow, Monson, MA; 2.5-3" on the ground. Wind picking up-- not a good look for keeping power.

    I believe it is the Greeks to beware of bringing something prettily wrapped-- like a great big horse

    "It's a wet damaging snowstorm for NJ-far e NYS and interior southern New England." 2 feet possible high terrain ENY/WNE. Thinks even NYC could pick up 6" on backside.

    Walt Drag is pretty bullish on this storm, suggesting NWS totals too conservative, and societal impacts for many of us due to wet snow and high winds.

    Ours though it got down to -11 performed like champs, though they are reputed to be less effective in below zero conditions.

    Pretty telling that Boston went all the way from 1957 to now including the extreme winters of the 1960's and 70's to record such a low temperature. I wonder how much if anything that has to do with the increasing effects of the urban heat shield. I recorded temperatures as low as -18 to -20 in Monson, MA on a couple of occasions during the mid 90's

    That seems like a lot of effort expended for a simple blower job.

    Oh, and no doubt your smugness would remain if for the first time in thousands of years the solid earth under you (tundra) became mush (climate change). This is what's happening to those Alaskan Native Americans. Just like other fire ravaged/drought ravaged/hurricane ravaged Americans, they're seeking help. Are these Native Americans somehow less deserving?

    Global warning craze?? Wait till the migration of "sane" climate refugees to our relatively unscathed, northeast U.S.A.

    This white pine came crashing down in a tremendous gust of wind less than a hundred feet ahead of me in Monson, MA, about 45 minutes ago as the squall line passed through.

    "Singal" and looking for something or other for long walks on the beach... (This would be happening right at the new moon, significant both for coastal flooding concerns and heightened possibilities of Biblicalness).

    1968 sure brings back the memories-- a trio of storms in rapid succession culminating on the 12th in the worst blizzard conditions I have ever encountered, including the blizzard of 78-- granted, my location was at 1500 feet elevation in SW New Hampshire.

    He's absolutely correct. Willful ignorance; distrust of science, lack of critical thinking skills; not learning from the past, etc. etc... This is how you reap the whirlwind...

    Don't even bother...

    If not a bust for severe, it was once again a bust for needed rain. Generally in a situation with mid 70's dews and an approaching cold front, most get their share of a soaking shower/thunder shower. Yesterday, the allocation to most was miserly to say the least.

    Always read (or at least skim) from top to bottom. Your writing is appealing for two reasons-- first for the insights and information concealed (at times) within, and secondly for its originality and entertainment value.

    What many would have given for your 12+. In western areas it was 6 or 7 or less-- like being low on the totem pole at the House of Delight.

    When a new moon and a big dog coincide… the ante’s upped for something historical…

    I still have some of my daily "weather diaries" from the 1960's.
