Cold Miser

We shall dub this one, The Scooter Melt Storm. At the end of last week Scott was just about fed up and ready to jump off the Tobin ...again. This one was truly redeeming indeed. 3 on Saturday, and 15+today. Unreal.

No texting while people are sleeping please.

This will be dubbed the Scooter Meltdown storm of 2019. Any updates on start time? Jerry mentioned around Dawn tomorrow. Is this still a good time frame to keep in mind?

That's alright buddy. I got the basement covered for you. 16.75" for the season so far, and have not touched the snowblower yet this season.

They closed the Brooklyn golf course 2 years ago. Now it is just an overgrown field.

I'm in.

Picked up .5 earlier.

My 19.5 was right near that 21.1. I should have given you that number.

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.

lol. He actually said that in a live statement, pointing you out?

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

Life imitating art? Dawn Awakening the prequel?

Blasted!!! Sweet.

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.

Just a real fine snow here. Visibility is not the best, but the snow is just not amounting to much.

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.

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.

I was under the impression this was going to be a dry snow. Sh*t is wet and heavy. 34F right now.

Brought back to life for the Codfishsnowman.

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.

I don't recall the event in April 88.

October 4, 1987 Not SNE, but a great event from 30 years ago today when I lived south of Albany, next to I-90 just over the border from Mass. in Old Chatham, NY. Cars were stranded and I was going back and forth up the hill with gas for people. One of my all time favorite events as it occurred less than 2 weeks after summer ended and we ended up having no school for the entire week (storm was Saturday into Sunday). Although, that winter was fairly crappy after that, and since then never wanted to see another October snow storm, thinking that it meant there would be minimal snow for the remainder of the year.

I'm guessing the main reason for me not remembering this was due to the fact that I was at college in Bristol R.I. where this storm was more than likely a rainfest.

Unbelievable. Need to get the generator gassed up.

Looks like box lowered my high end total from 33 to 31 inches. Disappointment all around. [kidding] Should be an interesting couple of days. After I signed off last night, I became pretty sick. Kind of sucks because I will probably be sleeping for most of today.
