low 60s here. Just cloudy though.

Eff April.

May have to bump that bizarre meltdown Kevin had regarding the last 10 days of March.

Thanks man. Good ole-fashioned camera haha. I had to scan those so that they can be digital. There are a few missing as the original pics are somewhere buried...but good enough.

Nice. Probably had close to a foot. Even Hingham down the road had almost 7.5".

That one pic of a pile just in the middle of the street was when a city plow tried to clear it out and they couldn’t do it. So they just left a big block of snow there LOL

In some of those pics, like the one looking at the house from the street, and also the one with my car and a coke can for perspective, you can see the depth. I honestly thought my car was going to have suspension problems with all the snow.

This place would be wild right now if we had this haha. I always wondered how the modern day mesos would perform in this. The forecast I remember was for 6 to 12 inches even in the Boston area. With that in mind, the decision was made after school to stay at my grandmother’s in Hyde Park because we knew they heavy wet snow would be too much for her to handle. And I figured they would be no school. It really wasn’t supposed to change to snow until around midnight if I recall correctly. I went to high school in Taunton at the time and we just moved to Marshfield earlier in March 1997. It was last period, when I looked out the window and the rain changed to heavy wet sleet and snow. I couldn’t believe it. This wasn’t supposed to happen until midnight. I didn’t know if this was kind of fluky thing, because I was old enough to understand that sometimes when precip came down heavier, it “brought down the cold air” as we were told. I left the school shortly after 3p and it was still heavy wet sleet and snow mix. Driving up route 24, this changed to all snow shortly after I got north of Bridgewater. By the time I hit Brockton, it was just absolutely pounding heavy wet snow to the point where I had to pull over because it was just caking on my wipers and the visibility was below a quarter mile. It was like this all the way I got to Hyde Park. By time I got to my grandmothers it was about 4p with already probably 3 inches or more on the ground roads were snow-covered and there’s already tree damage LOL. By the time dusk came, it became a wind blowing snow and it just started stacking and stacking. I do remember talking to my folks and it was still sleet mixed in Marshfield even at dinner time. It changed shortly after. By about 9p there was TSSN and probably close to a foot already. We lost power around that time. There was OCNL LTG through midnight when I finally passed out. I woke up around 5am and it was chaos still. Someone who attempted to plow the road got stuck and left their Jeep there. Even at mid morning it was still coming down heavy. I went to shovel after and I couldn’t believe how much snow fell. It was well over 30”. I had no yard stick so I gauged it with a piece of strapping about 4’ long haha. They finally plowed us out the next day with a front end loader. I’m pretty sure that area just SW of the city was a local max. I was at 200’ in elevation on the SW side of the city in the firehose. Still to this day it’s my biggest storm.

Where did you live at the time?

That radar loop probably doesn’t do it justice. My guess a larger area of 35dbz echoes probably existed with today’s radar.

I know we have bits and pieces of this in other threads (that reanalysis done by the one met was great), but maybe we can throw it all in here.

May an EF2 visit you again.

Congrats WOR crowd.

Should be an 83 Cutlass on 22" rims kehd.

Funny you say that. I had squirrels chew through my shed in two areas to get in. They were nesting. I noticed tons of stuff inside chewed up including a gas can! I caught one of them and released him a couple of miles away. Trap set again.

May I suggest the bucket of death?

That’s after some IPAs and Indian food.

Yep. My skin is cracking and bleeding ftl.

27 here with still a wind chill. Looks like this nonsense is done now.

Tossed

Lol you shouldn’t react to his post.

Same here, brother. For many reasons.

It starts tomorrow lol. All you need is sun and 50.

I was thinking about that and what happened in the Feb 2013 blizz over the Marshfield area. There are two sections where trees were just mowed down. I was thinking maybe more of a domino effect with wet snow and wind, but who knows. @amarshall can vouch for me. In any case, I have vague memories of March '84. I do remember some tree damage. That storm pummeled the whole NE coast. We haven't had many of those.
