  1. So not a soul would have survived if the path was different? Got it.
  2. Doesn't matter where the word came from, but the fact that it came from a weather office makes it worse. Saying something is "unsurvviable " is dishonest, over the top and indeed hyperbole. ...Unless I misread the death toll. This is the kind of language Kevin would use (In jest), and people here would be ripping him to shreds.
  3. Hype is in Full effect. Not really sure if the landfall region is greatly populated or not. https://www.npr.org/2020/08/26/906203511/hurricane-laura-forecast-to-bring-unsurvivable-storm-surge-as-category-4-storm?fbclid=IwAR3lt9Ij-Iuw7mS0eWO0yNHjuAuNcyLq5V5mYx5KbbGd8PCfIh1E-NcRS54
  4. Was that 14' in Maine the max snow from this system? Pretty impressive for going into mid-May.
  5. lol. True. What's a bit of damp grass to get in the way of mowing day? Gotta mow, when you gotta mow.
  6. To be fair, I did see a few people post links on facebook from some main stream news site about a historic winter event in the north east. I did not click the link because I assumed it was garbage, so I am not sure how "widespread " it was noted. It might have even been an NBC link.
  7. Sun poking out, but a few flakes flying as well. Strange scene.
  8. I am bad with dates but... March 93 Snow April 97 Snow Some insane heatwave in like July/August of 91. Irene 2 other snowstorms in the past 7 years, but I don't recall the dates without going into my archives which are at home. (I was in Rockland County NY during Sandy, which was a bigger event down there)
  9. My 19.5 was right near that 21.1. I should have given you that number.
  10. 19.5 total for me (including the final burst last night) but I do think me and you shorted ourselves by an inch or 2. I measured 19" @ 5pm. My first and only measurement of the day. No board clearing.
  11. lol. He actually said that in a live statement, pointing you out?
  12. 13.5" Brooklyn. Not my measurement but measurement from my daughter. I have taught her not to be a slant sticker but she could be off. Edit: 13.75
  13. Wow. First I've seen a radar image today. Looks like Brooklyn was getting pounded. But here in Manchester, just near Hartford I can definitely see how we were in that area of weakness.
  14. Just a real fine snow here. Visibility is not the best, but the snow is just not amounting to much.
  15. Really not much here at work (Manchester). Maybe an inch or 2 if that. Hopefully it's piling up better back in Brooklyn. I have not checked with my source there yet.
  16. Snow growth not too great here at work in Manchester, but was pretty good in Brooklyn, 40 miles east. Definitely a different scene back home.
  17. I was under the impression this was going to be a dry snow. Sh*t is wet and heavy. 34F right now.
  18. Brought back to life for the Codfishsnowman.
  19. Idiot me. lYeah. Full foliage, and tons of tree damage. Roads were still being cleared 3 -4 weeks later. I suppose it's pretty comparable to the damage in CT a few years back during the October storm.
