HIPPYVALLEY Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Thanks Ray. Where is Blizz? I wonder if he still thinks GC doesn't jackpot? As soon as he posted that I knew we were golden.lol You have power up there?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski MRG Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 You have power up there?? Yep. It went out for about a minute last night but we're in good shape. Just totally buried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I have nothing to gain by a misrepresentation of measure. 292ft will do that especially in elevation dependent storms. alex from around the bend will validate. What did you get, Don? I missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 My parents are up on the hill on Wollaston Ave. They reported 6-7" also. Cool.....must have just been a critical elevation boost. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Glad you are OK. The lower elevations got half the snow but 10x the damage. The only thing that saved us was the leaves were all gone and it was more powder than anything else. Thanks Pete. So glad we were prepared, especially with a baby at home. Gonna' be real tough night across the northeast with temps in the teens or lower. I will get the skis out later and hit the snowmobile trails down the street but I'm sure I'll find a lot of detours - lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Cool.....must have just been a critical elevation boost. Thanks. I went to high school in Boston and it was brutal some storms because it would be dumping on the hill and rain in the city so I'd have to get in. Kids and teachers wouldn't believe me. That hill up RT 2 is such a weird cutoff zone for frozen precip. Rain in Arlington Ctr and snow in Arlington Heights sometimes. btw/ you'll get crushed this winter. ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Scott, I can't believe that you got hardly any snow and are still without power...man, that blows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 As I told you, I turned into a convective junkie, but when you're pouring snowflakes under one of those bands it's pretty awesome. When I left the office and that band was parked over KCON, and reports out of western Mass had people cracking double digits already I knew we were in trouble (i.e. busting low on the forecast). Yeah I think by about 5-6pm..I knew out west was gonna get rocked. Hopefully we can get a couple of coastals this year. Better chance probably up by your way in this Nina with something bombing in the GOM, unless we get some blocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCloser24 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Truly amazing storm throughout New England! Here in Waterbury, CT many transformers were blown out last night and 65% of the city is without power. Many roads are impassable with downed trees and live wires. The hilly terrain of the city has made it nearly impossibe to get around especially on secondary roads. Cell phone service has also been disrupted greatly. But, the scenery of the trees and the heavy wet snow, looks truly breathtaking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherMA Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Does anybody have the link to BOX for reporting totals? Hubbdave posted it yesterday but I was too delirious to report.lol Hey, start the tally for for this winter in your sig! You're only a few inches from CT valley normals for the whole winter. Did you sleep last night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha5 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Cleaned up with an even 12" here, but its already started to melt. Probably on 7" left on the ground atm. That being said there are still a ton of trees down everywhere, I honestly dont know how I have power. Just an amazing overall storm, dont know when I'm going to ever see a foot of snow in October again here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be one to remember for sure. 4" Thursday night and then 27" last night, great jump on the seasonal total as it's not even Halloween. Looks like lower teens overnight tonight, hope you get power back soon. No trees down here that I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroclinic Zone Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I'd gander about a sloppy inch fell. Went outside and it's actually 1.5". I'll take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROOSTA Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Nevermind..I saw. Power is on/off....5 on, 2 off.... but have. Very frustrating. Not as hard hit as some, thankfully The hills in and around here have there own micro-climate. I find this true mostly in the Spring. One storm few years back had 4" and literally bottom of hill 0. Going to shut everything off. These power surges will kill electronics.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski MRG Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Hey, start the tally for for this winter in your sig! Your only a few inches from CT valley normals for the whole winter. Did you sleep last night? LOl, I'm heading out to clear more snow. I got about 4.5 hours as last night I skied here until late and then early this AM I sledded over to the Berkshire Snow Basin and did 2 circuits there. Powder DAY!!! I'll update the sig later. Nice to be 31% of the way to another 100+" season.....before Halloween!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess we got maybe half inch or inch at home. Nobody is at my place right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherMA Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I wonder if I make 40F today...if not I think there's an outside shot I hit the teens tonight. 31.1/30, not at freezing yet at 10am, but snow still pouring off the trees in the October sun.

SnowMan Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 At this point with only 4 inches I am hoping it all melts today...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmanmitch Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Going to call it 24" for a total here. Tough to measure with some drifting and settling, but this seems like a good enough average. Simply incredible that most of it fell in an 8 hour period from 3 PM to 11 PM. This storm will be a classic to be remembered for years to come. It will probably take a week to melt a lot of this snow, especially if we go subfreezing at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 It will probably take a week to melt a lot of this snow, especially if we go subfreezing at night.

Ginx snewx Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Damn the sun came out and it just rained melting snow , still only 35 degrees though, incredible cold. Low 20 s tonight, feel real bad for the million plus folks without power. Just up the road has no power. I tried texting Kev again, do not know if he has cell service but the images I am seeing on Ryan's station in regards to devastation are unreal.
