Damage In Tolland Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 5,000+ people without power at one point in my town of about 7,500. Limb was down all day on my road. cars were going off the road all day near it. Today was a 5 sheer pin day for my snow thrower. Yup...5 SHEER PINS. I sometimes go multiple seasons without breaking one, but today was the winner. The combination of the rain, and spring like ground conditions moving the rocks around on the surface followed by the snow brought about the perfect sheer pin storm. One rock is still wedged in there. I will have to try and drill it out tomorrow. Congrats on everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did however somehow catch a mat but luckily killed the power. Took me an hour to hand cut it out.I spent as much time picking up branches as cleaning snow. Sorry about your blower.

CoastalWx Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Man it's a winter wonderland out there. It's been a long time since I've seen this much wet snow. Probably 1/12/11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing there's some history there. lol. "better"? I never said it was better. I think I would like to know where the totals are taken from. Not the actual address, but something that narrows it down a bit more. There can be a broad range from one part of a town to another. Last year during the big January blizzard, NBC was stationed in probably the worst micro snow holes in our town. I know that it was probably because of the motel being there, but that location in my town is the equivalent of taking a total at Logan and saying it represents Boston.

Nikoss427 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Interesting change of snow consistency while plowing. My inlaws in Mansfield Depot (near Coventry) had about 12 inches of powder. On the flip side, in Willington, the snow was very wet paste and compacted to 6" by the time I got to some places. Crazy. Nice surprise though, day off from teaching to go push some snow! Time to play in it tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just wondering why they should have taken your total over the other one. Do you think the other one is wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have issues reporting storms here as well. Danbury DOT is always low on storms and then sometimes you get random public reports that are high and dont make sense. And it sucks that our international airport doesn't report either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am closer to Pomfret Landing, and maybe that Pomfret location on the north end of town. I was two inches lower than everyone around me. It's extremely possible there was a period of an exhaust zone from me to Brooklyn. Also you can tweet NWS Boston to @WX1BOX or send in through their website. Your town covers a very large geographical area. I remember you doubting my current obs last year because you were in Plainfield,same town as me 10 miles away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
