awesome stuff. I was kind of thinking about getting it down like a tree limb... basically cutting it into sections to get the leverage off the bolts before you detach it from the rotor. Wasn't sure they actually do it though. Usually they use two cranes to hold each end of the blade but that's probably not an option with it broken in half.

Yeah I was just going through it mentally... giant crane req'd or maybe (?) a big sky crane and ex-navy seal type heli pilot. Probably lifting the whole rotor down for autopsy and inspection of the other two blades. Removal of the broken section, meanwhile fabricating the 91' blade and shipping from who knows where. Then reinstall and relift. Serious, serious PITA. Slight chance they could swap out the blade in place but man that is a delicate undertaking. There's several hundred bolts that hold the blade to the turbine and you have to keep it steady.

Wind turbine blade snapped in half at the Beast. Just absolutely awful news that they really didn't need. Schaefer family could use some support., IG video tough to watch.

All those done with winter can send their snow this way and/or to the Greens TIA

It was more wintry than not today even in spite of warmish temps with a few clouds, a breeze and dry air. Snow did not soften at all. But dews creeping up in the last few hours will change things.

Literally nowhere to go but up for March at least.

Poor Berks and S Greens too far west for the biggie, too far S yesterday. For all the griping that goes on, nobody is further BN and it's probably not close. Maybe this potential torched BL event will start to turn the tide.

Hope folks got to enjoy that one. Great storm for the C and N Greens. Skinned up Bear early and caught OL nearly untouched and later Devils Fiddle in primo shape. Woods game on.

We got like an inch of slop on 12/5, bookended by rain. Amazing ORH had 10" elevation FTW

Maybe 10/30/20 on the coattails of Zeta?

stick to these. Pingers pike S and valley. Snow CNE, N Berks, Monads, Jeffafa-land. Maybe I'm being irrationally confident here, but on a relative scale this looks like an easy one IMO.

Poor Tahoe is in kind of rough shape after the huge Dec. The base at Alpine had 2" for January. 6" at 8k'. And a lot of warm California sunshine. Probably decent bumps at least.

nice to see a setup that we're not worried about longitude one way or another. Latitude TBD.

Impressive call

That's amazing

Close to 6" here, 23.5" on the year.

I haven't had any snow under the western band. Looking at the UMass radar maybe a little further south of here in Palmer it might be snowing under there. Also maybe at ORE.

Per WWLP... take it fwiw Chicopee: 11″ Monson: 10″ Belchertown: 8″ Hardwick: 8″ Palmer: 6″ Ludlow: 4.5″ Erving: 4″ Hampden: 4″ West Springfield: 4″ Wilbraham: 4″ Huntington: 3.75″ Agawam: 3.5″ Lenox: 3″ Worthington: 3″ Westhampton: 2″

No snowfall reports west of ORH in the PNS is perfect for the AEMATT storm

Totally done here but I think snow rates did increase near the end, possibly with the CAA aided lift as was speculated. Tough to measure but probably 5.5" which isn't terrible.

That's awesome. We did that in downtown Northampton after Jan 2011. Cherish it.

About the same here. Picked up slightly in the last hour.

Yeah even as the bands rotate the moisture is just getting chewed up by dry air down low out here, or subby, or whatever. I shoveled for an hour and maybe had a quarter inch down where I started. 3" total

hopefully with this nonsense out of the way things start to look up for ski country

per this map you'd have to say the low consolidated east *edit- lazily hotlinked, sorry
