CT Valley Snowman Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I have 1 uncle in Orono and another uncle in Vienna along with our family summer camp in Mt. Vernon. It looks like all 3 places got 25-30 based on what I'm seeing. Absolutely destroyed. Still snowing in that band rotting over Western Kennebec county.

Its not that bad when you consider last January 22-24, Dale City WAS Maine, with 27 inches of snow on a level, drifts to 6 feet and BLSN New England style. I spent 5 straight days digging snow. My neighbor had a 7 foot drift in front of her house. She waded out to my front door and pounded the hell out of it: "GET OUT HERE JEBMAN! Get off that weather board and DIG ME THE HELL OUT! You wanted this snow! Get out here and help me! NOW!" I got the hell out there pronto. It took hours. LOL I'd like to heartily THANK all of you up in the Northeast for your EPIC, EPIC snow pics!!!!! I have so many of them on my computer, and they are gracing my monitor. I'll be enjoying them for years to come! Thanks SO MUCH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncforecaster89 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Hi Everyone! I ultimately documented the blizzard between Bangor & Bar Harbor, ME. Experienced blizzard conditions throughout this area with strong wind gusts creating 7' drifts (in various spots) from the 20-24" snowfall recorded. Also filmed very large waves crashing against the seawall at Southwest Harbor, just after high tide, that was splashing water onto seawall road. Due to the unexpected, unplanned, and hasty progression of these two chase events...it has been a grueling/exhausting past 6 days. During this time, I've slept an accumulative 23.5 hours and driven more than 2600 miles (still have 1100 to go to get back home). As a result, I was consistently rushing and second-guessing myself throughout. With clearer thinking, I would've repositoned myself further inland as the day progressed when. it became clear where the heaviest banding (associated with the CCB) set up. Instead, I was hesitent to leave the coastal area being way too focused on documenting the forecasted wind gusts to 60 knots that never came close to realization; not deep enough convection to mix those type winds to the surface. Ironically, White Plains, NY saw them, instead! For the aforementioned reasons, I'm left with a little self-induced regret (goal is always to be in position to document greatest effects). Thankful I was still able to observe blizzard conditions with the storm, where I was, but the blizzard conditions were far more extreme in the first event (even though total snowfall was greater with this most recent one). I would be remiss if I didn't express my most heart-felt appreciation to each of you who so thoughtfully offered your suggestions/advice during these events. Although I'm generally consumed by capturing the best footage I can, I apologize that I didn't provide ongoing, updated, and first-hand accounts of the effects as they occured. I will make an asserted effort to do that in the future. As hard as it is to be leaving this region with another storm on the way, I'd be in serious need of an intervention if I stayed and didn't get back home to my family. Yep, it's time to put the "weenie" back in the pants. Being that I'm 1100 miles away on Valentines Day, after choosing to chase a second blizzard, I suspect that's where it will be staying for awhile! Edit: Had figured the milage driven incorrectly.

OceanStWx Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 11 hours ago, Lava Rock said: I see GYX office recorded 14.2" which isn't that far from me. I ended with 20" but didn't have the chance to measure every 6hr and don't have a snow board. Then I see Poland and mechanic falls, both not far from me as a crow flies and they are 20" as well. Weird. We really choked on exhaust for most of the daylight hours yesterday. When that band started to fill back in it did some from the north and west, so we were one of the last places to go back over to SN/+SN. Luck of the draw I guess.

OceanStWx Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 And @dendrite not sure what went on with the climate yesterday afternoon. I'm not sure who did it, but if it is who I think it is I'm surprised the mistake happened. I was so busy with the outage being fixed that it slipped my mind, but I probably should've noticed the red flag that PWM was triggering a record snowfall for the day.
