weatherMA Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Just got called into work. All those people without power need a place to eat. 38/26, not much melting today, but some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski MRG Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 So, what model did the best with this storm? Messenger calls it for the Euro. He's probably right though I think it was the NAM that painted the heavy swath across the high terrain of WNE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lava Rock Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 We certainly didnt get 8-12 according to the map. I think warm water on sebago might have played a role. Almost no snow down there earlier but a couple hundred feet up by our house we still have some. Still no power. Winds ripping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJBASHB Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 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 I saw you mention it yesterday but didn't have time to respond... but I think the ice storm played a part in terms of taking down a lot of material that would have fallen eventually. Although, it doesn't quite add up as the ice storm left behind some severely damaged pines that managed to remain vertical. Case and point one of the pines out front lost it's crown and basically has a flat top, which held a lot snow last night. It was leaning ominously this morning until the sun got to work. It's probably a bit of the ice storm and luck. Once night hit the snow was all pow. BTW nice pics Dave, it was an awesome storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Leominster PDs fbook: 4-5 days no power due 2 main line to city damaged. Only 2 gas stations, 3 groc store, 2 restr open" Not yet confirmed, but Nat. Grid map has lots of the city w/o power. drat!

CoastalWx Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Dave although the snow might have been wet, it may have not had the consistency of sticking to the trees like they had at lower elevations and to the south. Looking back at things, there seemed to be a warmer layer near 750-800mb that may have allowed the snow to be a little wetter than normal. It is also this layer that might have been the octane to fuel the band across western NE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ELCwx Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 KDXR (Danbury CT) hasn't posted an updated ob since 12:53pm yesterday. Maybe a power problem, but would think they have backup generation at the airport. Guess that's also why my weather ob is still showing heavy snow and 33 degrees.

dan11295 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Just got power back here in Maynard, most of the Town was out all day. Longer outage than Irene. Would have to say in this immediate area, tree damage was slightly worse than Irene. Fair amount of large branches along the roads. Havent seen much pics yet but will go over this thread. I gather Central/Western MA and CT took a beating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
