Any of you geologists have a link to what fault it was? There are stress faults all over the place, but clearly this little guy helped relieve a lot of tension.
-
5.8 is probably pushing some of the limits for building integrity. The newer ones are ok, but I would think anything larger than a 6.0 would be a real problem.
-
Just out of curiosity, can someone explain how it felt? Was it more of a roll, and then more violent shaking? Just wondering.
-
Must be climate change.

You can count on one thing though....anytime Ray has a meltdown, somehow he pulls double digits out of his arse. So we have Dec '09, Dec '10, and Jan '11. All three times at least one of us..if not both of us told him to strap on his ass-less snowpants because he's be ok in the snowfall dept.
-
A rare MRG meltdown in the Dec 09 storm thread...lol. Messenger getting 20" and Pete, cirrus.
-
LOL, Kevin and Ray meltdowns are the best.
-
I like that last pic. Gives a good perspective on depth.
-
Will, at least the snowpack had some staying power through March up by your way, but it was just a disaster how it melted through March.
-
Eventually, those piles had to be thrown onto the front yards, when January ended.
-
They do an awesome job cleaning out, almost too good. Boston uses salt after every time they come down the street, so the piles aren't as big as they could be. It annoys me a little, but at least you can navigate the narrow streets.

Hey Steve...that November 8th storm was pretty cool. That actually brought the warmer air in and DS to ne mass. WST was actually more conducive to snow then LWM. I remember we were saying this might actually be a Tolland to ne CT and nw RI deal.
-
Believe it or not, I think that only occurred briefly for about 45 minutes when the CF just moved to my west. It got to 32.5 here with S+, so everything got caked. I do think that because I was so close to the CF for a while...and it did become almost marginal aloft..like around 950mb..the snow may have been a little wetter then it normally would have been with a temp of around 27-28F. Luckily I stayed just on the good side of the CF.

Yeah you always seemed to be in that sweet spot, despite QPF. Mid levels rule.
-
Couple of pics from 12/26 Nice drift.
-
That was an awesome storm. LOL, Foxboro had a virtual condo collapser.
-
Another view of the intense lift down there. Strong low level frontogenesis too.
-
Again, I know it wasn't the greatest for all...but a few nice images I had from 12/26. Nice DS poking into ern mass, but look at the intense lift in se mass.
-
Yeah I thought about digging this thread out again,and getting the weenies fired up. You know it's bad when you post a water vapor animation at 2am, after being asleep for 3 hours.
-
Will is right though. Those are the types of systems that drop a quick 6-8" of snow, then followed by wind whipped cold. I love those too.
-
Don't forget about this little guy.
-
Convective monster.
-
Here is 2/26 for comparison.
-
This was actually my highlight, right after the second round of snow on 2/2. That trashbarrel was my benchmark. There might have been some snow that blew off the deck, but the yard is virtually untouched.
-
Dam ORH and the ice that bulletproofed the snowpack.
