  1. He has been with Verizon for 18 years and said he has been much busier with overtime ever since the Springfield tornado in 2011. I take his opinion with the caveat that crews from pretty far away can get called in for fairly localized events so it’s difficult to speak for New England as a whole. He is stationed out of Haverhill and Boston which were not affected by the tornado yet he spent a week working down in that Wilbraham - Sturbridge corridor that got nailed.
  2. Local rivers have ice but not thick. The issue will more or less just be the water in W NE. I would be concerned for places in S Vermont and E NY.
  3. Yup, my older brother will be one of them. He said the number of wind events the past few years has really helped with his girls’ college bills. still sucks to be called out on holidays.
  4. I said yesterday, let’s get all the precipitation out-of-the-way this winter and hope that it doesn’t rain JJA. Summer delight. Plus we’ll get the enjoyment of a few S of Boston posters cryin’ about reservoirs.
  5. NWS should put the official station on W side of Boston Common, instead of having it in the place that is coldest in the summer and warmest in the winter.
  6. We will need to wait and see how it evolves but damn, if I’m ski area management looking at that forecast, you gotta question if you want to make snow between rainers? The answer is probably yes for the big areas but hopefully we can get this to change a little bit. Jay Peak could end up with record low snowfall for December.
  7. I’m hoping even less than that in my little hollow of a neighborhood.
  8. Now that’s a true Grinch! warm rains to Maine for Christmas Eve with the chance of destructive winds and then backs into Canada to screw up the follow up wave.
  9. I sense a trend in the foreign guidance.
  10. I think you would need to get up into NNE to find any significant amount of ice on rivers.
  11. Yeah, a pack destroying warm rain is one thing but nobody really needs power out or a tree on their house, on Christmas Day no less.
  12. I think VT, W MA and E NY will definitely have small stream flooding issues.
  13. Widespread power outages on Christmas is going to be brutal.
  14. Exactly, get it all out of the way and then, hopefully, it doesn’t rain from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Nice, warm, dry summer.
  15. It would be an extra special Christmas present to get a tree on the house, power knocked out and a flooded basement.
  16. To be fair, Science teacher not a Literature teacher.
  17. The gas giants certainly have some influence on our elliptical orbit. Right?
  18. I mean, Grinch potential aside, it is full on winter right now.
  19. 28/24. It’s been a good few days of winter! Couple more good days coming while we see if we can transition the Christmas storm into a cold rain or better.
