ma blizzard Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 lol thanks. I've gotten 5 hours of sleep the past few nights so we'll see how long I can last. If I'm not up, its not like I'll never see those insane rates again, its only because its October that its so insane. ugh we just need this to move a little further east to get out of the subsidence from the death band wind is def starting to pick up out of the north, 31.9 / 32 sn- id expect the subsidence to start filling in over the next hour as the "death" band starts moving a little further east. radar returns over east ct / ri look to be improving over time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Snow mixing in finally. Front between exit 5 and 6 on 495. Could feel car get cold before thermo registered drop. Snowing moderately at the Mobil on rte 24 Matches my obs. My thermometer dumped from 38 to 32 very quickly here. Over to snow, though not falling fast now. Lights starting to flicker...uhoh. Will be interesting to see in the morning. Not too far from Bob. Hope the lights hold...sigh... --Turtle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Right now this is matching the heaviest snow I've seen all night plus the windiest plus the darkest thanks to the transformer blowing. Yup. Radar is awesome over east-central NH right now. The best echoes are now sliding to my east into southern Carroll/Belknap/Merrimack counties.

sfenn1117 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Avon ct just went for a walk, an easy foot of heavy wet snow. Was only expecting around 8" when I walked out there. Wow. All you hear is snapping in the background like firecrackers. Still snowing fairly hard despite echoes moving to the east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are a true weather nut going out and booking a motel. That is pretty awesome. You were supposed to say something in the vid though--I like listening to the various New England accents.

Ginx snewx Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I doubt this caught anybody "off-guard". DOT's only have so many resources. Interstates and large highways get first treatment. Most DOT's have their own road weather forecast companies and many also consult the NWS in some way. This wasn't a surprise storm or anything, just a beast. They were still putting plows on this afternoon believe us CT is a disaster when it comes to disaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowNH Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Best thing is that we knew about the potential damage and no one else did.. BOX forecast of 3-7 here, and I'm pushing 16" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
