Damage In Tolland Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I've got friends all over Tolland measuring for me for verification.. I've gotten 31, 32, 33 ,34 3 times 36 and a 38 so far ... Concensus seems 33-34 so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Yeah that sucker hole has diminished rates here considerably. Hopefully doesn't last. It's all weakening. Not much left. BOS total still too low, but at least it won't stick out as too low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslot Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 All-timer for PWM ... awesome. I knew they had a shot given the CF snows yesterday morning. lol, They had about a 6" head start on me, May be able to close in closer, Still ripping pretty good here in these bands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan11295 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I wonder what ORH Airport is at. That band has been dumping on them for the past few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 They're going to regret not having the national guard ready in some of these areas. There's only one or two gas stations open in se ma in this area right now and they are about out of fuel. Power is still out to pilgrim nuclear they shut down automatically and are on generator power which hopefully continues to work! I'd say about 10" here snowing light to moderate. Worst storm for power grid damage I've ever seen here. The further north stall set a record for Portland which is cool. Snow sports needed the snow up there bad. Given the power situation here and what may be days or weeks for some, I'm kind of glad it shifted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Milford(?) with 38"? I think that one is suspect but we're going to hear that one in the media like we heard about that gust at BOS last night. Not many people have rulers that go over 36" and this is a public report...no affiliation so we have no idea where they were measuring. Bottomline though, it's going to be tough to get good measurements with this in some places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineJayhawk Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 lol, They had about a 6" head start on me, May be able to close in closer, Still ripping pretty good here in these bands Yup, still going strong. I'm watching the wind blow this snow like dust devils. Higher gusts bring vis down to zero. Having some French toast and then it's out for picture-taking.

dan11295 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Getting power back will be a big issue Anyone with electric heat and no generator w/fuel will not be able to stay in their house. This isnt August or even October Still getting decent snows with this band rotting overheard. Probably over 2' but no real way to measure here.

CapturedNature Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Going to have to hand it to the Nam/Euro for hitting this one, GFS was a miserable failure but this one was not its game I started archiving runs of the GFS a few days prior to this so it should be interesting to review. I'm still not convinced that the NAM or ECMWF "nailed" this. The axis of max precip was off but a lot of the dynamics were correct so I guess it's how you weigh everything. It's all just guidance.

HIPPYVALLEY Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Back from dog walk, amazing. Side streets not plowed since last night. Big drifts. I Measured measured 18-22" in multiple places. Over knee deep everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewbeer Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Closing in on 24" IMBY. Easily the single biggest snowfall total in the 8 years I've lived here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWMan Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 We're between bands here on the ME coastal plain, and the "dry" gap seems to be expanding. I wonder if we'll get back into a little more accumulating snow from the back side of things, or if this is pretty much it. An all-timer either way. Wow.
