No power for two weeks after Bob and it was fine, though we drove home where there was power , twice. When i lived in NH I lost power for 8 days in February 2010? 2011? With the 75mph winds. that was worse as it was fairly cold (though probably AN). No big deal once you adjust to roughing it.
one of my favorite nearly forgotten storms was March 05? Flash freeze and whiteout for a few hours behind a bombing low. There was only 3-6" in ene perhaps but it fell in ~3 hours. Mini dec 05
Similar boat...before my back and hip injuries, as well as a 2nd operation on my right leg, I was hitting over 300 with a cheap steel taylor made. Hoping to play a little this year, though it's been around 10 years.
I forgot how late it was, it seemed to be just before sunset in SE MA. I think what helped at the time was the sun was setting, not sure it would have snowed a few hours earlier.
I don't remember specifics day to day for that winter, was only 17. I do remember skiing in VT up at Burke (toured Lyndon) and it was mediocre. Drove home to bare ground.
95-96 should be bittersweet to southern areas. It of course featured some incredible late season snows. It also features one of the most memorable meltdowns of all time. Locally interior SE MA, we had a staggering 30-35" pack that was obliterated in a short time. The most since 1978, when the snowpack was around 45" and drifts 10'.
