Ginx snewx Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 When I was forced to handle a power line by hand after 3 days, because nobody responded and my wife and grandson almost got killed by a truck catching the line, I was craping my pants, Kevs pic tells me that CLP is not being proactive. Not surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dryslot Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I imaginne it was good powder? Sucks to be withoutpower--at least you can relish a snow-covered Halloween, Jeff. Mike, It was the opposite, Very wet I think we lost quite a bit to melting early on, .84" liqiud, 6.0" snow, Bad ratios around 7:1.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ma blizzard Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 just came in from shoveling .. not too too bad , but still very heavy wet snow up to 42.8 / 30 ..unsure whether or not to go back up to uml now seeing as north campus still doesn't have power ..

moneypitmike Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I grabbed the camera to take pictures out at the beaver pond. I made it about 100 yards through knee -deep snow, and I realized I wasn't going to get there without my snowshoes or skis. So, trekked back and went for a ride instead. So different out here than what so much of the region is dealing with. No fallen trees. No branches. No wires on the road. Just tons of beautiful powder. Watching the Ravens now with school closings going across the ticker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Upton called for up to 13" in Old Lyme yesterday afternoon, you (and some of the other stations) held pretty firm with your calls. Well done!

nutmegfriar Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 797,750 without power in CT for CL&P. Amazing. Cold night ahead. Troubling. Very dark and dangerous Halloween. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was pretty sure we'd have problems with a trend back to rain at the coast. The damage up north is wild. Even Haddam/Durham have some damage about 15 miles inland.

ELCwx Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 now i can believe the 15-20 days thing if that much of the state is fooked. tough few mo up there. CL&P already on the hot seat from Irene. This is setting up to be worse. People going through this for the 2nd time and without heat now when it is needed. With temps headed to the low 20's tonight, wonder if the town shelters are enough for the number of people who may show up? And with municipal elections only a week away I am sure there are some mayors, etc... a bit nervous right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OKpowdah Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 OT but I'm not relating it to individual storms. Look at the last x years, we've had more huge events coast wide and nationwide than at any time in modern recorded history. Again could be sunspot activity, ocean currents, coincidence etc, but I tend to doubt it. Seasonal volatility would be what I expect in a changing pattern, what causes it who knows. We'll see in the next xx years. The last decade has been absolutely incredible. So maybe. I sometimes like to relate it to the reaction of the atmosphere to the transition in the multi-decadal cycles. But that would account for a few years, not the last decade necessarily. A lot of different factors can come interact in various complicated ways to produce "extreme" (relative to what we know) weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 As Tip mentioned it was a perfect sequence of events for a disaster. Warm first 3 weeks of October delaying leaf loss in low elevations. Then a quick flip to winter. Even in early spring with no foliage yet this system would have caused outages which while not as extensive would have been widespread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching the Ravens now with school closings going across the ticker. I drove out to Gardner to shovel my in-law's roof (one part is sort of flat - 21" at 1:30PM after melting) Looks like December/January But no tree damage...none... I don't understand it. Snow was sticking to trees, trees had leaves, no major outages here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
