    Same here. Thankfully I have nothing on the property within a 1/4 mile on the east, south, and west sides. Lost three trees on the north side last year on 12/23, but they blew over to the north on southerly gusts, away from the house. You have to plant pine trees in relatively close circular clumps of 6 so that they each buffer one other from the gusts up here. Several neighbors had put them in rows for windbreaks, and they're all lost within 20 years.

    They're gonna get in their boats if you post this stuff.

    Just flipped to sleet/few flakes. 15 minutes of a nice snow, though.

    Good burst of snow erupted about 10 minutes ago.

    I was just talking to some Eversource linemen at the gas station and they said they're close to being on their own this time around. Depending on how it shakes out in Kentucky, Ohio, PA, etc, they may be able to pull some crews in on Friday. But they're not expecting much mutual aid.

    Maybe less wind at the surface, as i have been told.

    He was a welding fabricator, so it came natural to him. Nice not to have support posts in the garage. It's a 38x90 open space. The 2x8 walls is overkill, for sure. But I appreciate it.

    I agree. I'm on the top of a hill at about 940' and was out for three days after the 12/23/22 wind storm, and for 2 days a few weeks back. The previous owner built the house in 2003 with 24" steel i-beams and 2x8 exterior wall construction. I thought that was ridiculous until I lived here for a few months.

    Thank you!! I get it.

    Who wants to educate me? How does a snowpack limit winds from reaching the surface? Thks in advance.

    9" final.

    That corridor would be roughly in line with the 06 RGEM map.

    Coke.

    I think I figured you out. You make a living by shorting insurance stocks.

    We're getting 12". And that's the end of the discussion!

    As a kid, Christmas Eve was always more exciting to me than Christmas day. The anticipation and potentiality was always more euphoric than the actual event (even if i got exactly what I expected!). Hunters & sport fishermen often experience some degree of the same, I am told. The thrill is in the chase.

    Let's waste time chasing convection.

    7" in 6 hours west of river, as far out as I can see.

    Is that studio open tomorrow night? How far from western CT?

    I remember that well. A few dozen cars on Rt 6 in Woodbury that slid off the side of the road or couldn't make it up even the shallowest incline. It was very bizarre. A lot of people who know they can't handle snow don't drive. And when they get caught off guard, they panic.

    A persistent struggle against the realities of life. Like Sisyphus.

    Let me tell you, mine is in the barn shoved behind two riding lawnmowers, a tractor, and a stack of 8 foot pressure treated 6x6's . And the guy that does the main driveway texted me this morning and said the hydraulics on his plow are busted. So that alone guarantees a positive bust by 4-6 inches.

    By Wednesday morning, those pine trees may no longer be an issue for you.

    I remember the Bills and Colts in 2017. 17 inches fell. 8 inches fell on the field during play. Snowiest game I can recall.
