sankaty Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 About 5.5" here. About three hours ago, I measured 6" in Cromwell a few miles north of here, so they probably have a couple of inches more. Moderate snow now. Could pick up another inch or so, though the bands seem to be drying up rapidly on the radar. Lots of tree damage. Somehow, we still have power, though branches are leaning heavily on the wires.

HoarfrostHubb Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 we walked to te plaza wit vincent's grocery store, dunkin donuts, and subway, to get dinner...subway and dd closed early...so i ad to buy food from vincents market...didn't see any liquor stores guess i didn't walk far enoug.... flakes increased in size...getting into a good band! Behind Vincent's is a great little seafood joint. They have a small bar. Further up the street about 300 yards is another little plaza (across from Cumby's). That has a liquor store. And I think the pharmacy across from Vincen't sells... I drive by there on my way to the mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I just did a snow core water equivalent. I'm amazed, yet not amazed, at my ratios. 11pm 31F +SN 9.0" new snow 2.8" last hour 6hr water equiv = 0.48" So I essentially just had a 20:1 6hr sample of 9". Not too shabby. The board is now cleared so hopefully it keeps cranking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skierinvermont Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Ha well yes there is. I can think of some other awesome weather events. Downslope mountain windstorms, Colorado Lows, Panhandle Hookers, Alberta Clippers w/ blowing snow, Arctic fronts, plains blizzards in general, Gulf Lows (Halloween Blizzard 1991), big mountain storms, high plains supercells (LPs), mountain waves, etc etc etc. But yes, Nor'easters are one of my favorites because they can often times play off both the GOM semi-permanent baroclinic zone, Gulf stream semi-permanent baroclinic zone, moist convection, and moist latent heat release. Throw in the curvature of the East Coast, the non-linear track development of Nor'easters, the population along the track of Nor'easters, and the forecast challenge, and you have one of the coolest storm types in the US. so what you're saying is, objectively and quantifiably, this is one of the craziest bad ass things that has ever (and will ever) happen?

Granted you were low on the mega-jackpots in GC, but you were still double most people's calls. No one, not even Blizz would dare call for lolli's to 30-36".

I don't get it, plenty of oaks have tons of leaves here, yet they are holding up.

moneypitmike Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 One final note--the plow did go by three times during the storm. He must be (rightfully) focused on the roads in Shelburne Falls. Okay, I'm off to bed. And like my wife said, that's a sh*tload of snow. Coming to a deathband near you--enjoy it as it does! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
