Baroclinic Zone Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I've almost taken out kids, animals, and adults, and likewise the opposite. Piles are huge, roads narrow and traffic awful. I love it, but now you have structural issues to think about too. It's pretty freaking crazy.. Roads are real narrow now. My neighborhood is down to just enough for 2 cars to pass by. I almost hit a couple people snowblowing today. Had to hit the store for a wiper blade for my wife. It broke cleaning the car today and she's leaving at 3am for Laguardia. I will never say "no mas" to more snow. Things just take a bit more time now. The snow is as deep now as I've ever seen. Not enough adjectives to describe it.

weathafella Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Way to so it and easier than a snow blower He deploys the shovels and snow blowers sand that's that. He asked about the next storm. I told him 4 or less I'll do myself but any thing more, fuk it. Meanwhile, we're going down tonight. BOS already 9 at 7pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsutherland1 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I have lived in Boston or its suburbs my entire life (including '78) and cannot remember anything like it. Given how much has fallen in just over 3 weeks, I doubt that anything like this has occurred since records have been kept in North America. I suspect that this series of storms surpasses the Great Snow of 1717, as Boston has seen almost 8 feet of snow since January 23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's safe to say that though we (here: you; I am eternal) did not experience it directly, based on the accounts, plus the sheer magnitude of what has occurred here in recent weeks, this winter is in the ranks of the absolutely legendary.

Mips Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Path to front door most used door view from walk out tractor shed buried pool filter & heater & chain link fence neighbor's pool gate. The lowest point of that curved door is 6 feet. our side yard with buried fence Street view north. When they finally plowed they got to pavement - which is more than they did after the last storm.

weathafella Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I was walking the dog this morning just as snow was ending. I went down white place in Brookline and the snow piles were absurd. Pity I didn't have my phone with me..sleep deprived and full weenie ecstasy. Maybe I'll get some tonight or tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 That shot from Roxbury is unreal! Every part of Boston is clogged with snow. I was pulling into traffic Friday and got stuck waiting to edge in due to a traffic jam. No mans land...had to pull forward to see around snow banks but folks on the sidewalk were blocked. It's a cluster f*ck getting worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan11295 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 For Eastern Massachusetts, there is no question that what has occurred in the last 24 days really has no comparison at least since detailed records were kept. Four major storms plus small events in between with very little melting as well as the cold. Effects on infrastructure are becoming obvious, between mass transit issues, traffic issues due to narrow roads/high snow banks, roof collapses, etc. Probably do have to go back to 1717. Been reading up on that a bit, of course is a bit unclear how deep the snow really was given how long ago that was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mips Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I shudder at the city pics. I lived in Chicago for 10 years. I don't miss living in the city in winter. As inconvenient as things get in 'forest world' I still prefer it to fighting for my shoveled out on street parking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own a house on the outskirts of Boston that was built between 1710 and 1720. All I can think of when I shovel out is - has it seen more?

I love it, but now you have structural issues to think about too. It's pretty freaking crazy. The killer has been no melting at all really anywhere. I don't know what the answer is, if Tuesday turns into a regionwide deal there are going to be major major problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 no way I'm calling it. This one just required more effort than normal to clean up. More than the last blizzard. Snowblower only good to a point. I can't snow low the end of my driveway as the banks are 6' high. Had to shovel more than I normally do.boys calling for their Momma all across NE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am loving all the pictures of many favorite spots around the city, thanks for posting all of them! Truly a once in a lifetime stretch. How is Jamaica pond looking these days, it was always my favorite spot to check out after big storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
