CoastalWx Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I was gonna say... I have a pretty good memory, but not a sicko one like he has...lol. I feel like I'm forgetting some of my childhood memories of storms that I used to have like 10 years ago, but I suppose that will happen. It's funny how well you can remember storms that really had an impact on you. I can virtually remember every breath I took during 4/1/97, 1/22/05, and 12/9/05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 The huge bust on Feb 10-11, 2005 was definitely disappointing but as Scott said, it did change over to snow eventually after all that rain. I remember we ended up with about 6 inches here...but about 36 hours before the storm, it looked like we'd get about 1-2 feet of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the nonsense you fill your days with. With any luck you'll both be back to perpetually being on the wrong side of the rain/snow line this Winter. I will take great satisfaction in posting lots of pics of yet another snowy Winter here in the highlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine you open the door and surrounding you are pics of long haired men up to their navels in snow. More like you open the door and you step on Barbie dolls and crayons. It won't be long before your house becomes a nursery so soon you'll understand. It's only a matter of time before you're in the crosshairs of a baby fever ravaged woman.lol There's no need to even resist, she will not be denied.

CoastalWx Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Those pics of houses covered in sea ice are amazing. I think that first one is from Hull. I saw it first hand too in Marshfield. There was a block of homes on the water where people had to be rescued from windows because the doors were frozen shut. It took almost a half mile stretch of poles down and a roof collapsed iirc.

Tropopause_Fold Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 nice grab ginx. that one of the pick up truck buried reminds me of some the reports that were coming out during and after that storm. the stretch of road in hyannis - technically it's RT 28 - that runs along the southern periphery of the airport is exposed to the NNE for a huge distance. supposedly a handful of cars got stranded there and were abandoned in the middle of the road (this happened all over the place) and it's a main thoroughfare for emergency vehicles to get to the hospital so they had front-end loaders in there apparently just lifting/plowing the cars out of the way.

It would be awesome to have something like that hit again. I know we had a basin wide storm this year, but I mean something where we can see some crazy obs come from down by Phil's locale, all the way to ORH. I suppose it would kind of suck for CT though.
