You'll get a Dec '96 eventually. I don't count this as necessarily getting it out of the way. I think Will would agree too. Is it rare, yes it is rare, but it will happen again. Luckily for you, it does not happen too often. It was also an elevation storm, so that accounts for some of the difference.

Glad we agree lol

My buddy lives in Pepperell, too...where they got 15".

So should have traveled....I knew by about 7pm I was screwed, but folks kept mentioning the "wrap around" on the other end of the rainbow that of course never materialized.

I did get a pretty good reach around, though.

That is why I bolted for the party in Dracut @ 10....I knew I wouldn't miss much and I didn't.

That band actually wasn't impressive in ne mass, but went to town near ORH and then down towards se mass.

I'm with Phil. The carnage would be cool to see first hand, but no thanks to be put back in the civil war era over a foot of snow.

So you are saying if it came around again and someone offered you 12+ inches and you knew it would cost power for a bit, the weenie in you would pass that up?

I'd say he'll yeah bring me 12-24" in exchange for loss of power before Halloween lol

for me, it depends on what "a bit" is. 1 day...sure no problem. 2 days...eh...yeah i'd do it. get past 3 or 4 days and i think i'm all set. i've got two little kids at home so it sucks being w/out power. plus, i like to have lights. and internet.

i'd be surprised if others felt different...

w/out power ray can't blow dry his hair, scooter can't do tv interviews for TWC...kevin is afraid of the dark so i'm not even sure what he's doing right now.

LOL but true...I don't have kids and my life wouldn't be that inconvenienced but after 3-4 days it would get very old.

I really should have gone home! There hasn't been a band like that set up for hours over my house since March 2001 ... I would miss that :axe:

counting on the death band post pivot to verifty accums never really works IMO. Eastern areas get the band for 1/5 to 1/10 the times that the distant interior does. Seems like the advertised CCB and thunder snow never materialized. i'm gonna look at the few hours of radar i didnt' catch . i.e 2 am to 6 am but it looks like the models badly handled precip intensity over boston, Metro west and Metro north during "ccb hell" or what was supposed to be.

5-8" in October not that impressive!?

I would think that anyone who got more than 2 or 3 would be impressed this time of year. Of course the elevations over 1000ft will do better but that's how it always works.

well it's all your perspective.

seeing a mega death band annihilate relatively low elevatiions (pepperell /concord nh) while you are smoking 5-10 dbz's if not less is tuff for any weenie to swallow regardless of the month. at the end of the day everyone realizes it's october....but even more important at the end of the day is you got screwed and i see this with the caveat that (if low elevations to his WNW and NNW) didn't receive the high accums .....i think most would chalk it up as an elevation event. but it wasn't that cut and dry IMO and the fact that the modeled CCB never materialized over the area just kicked someone when they were down (missing DB and sucking on subsidence) waiting the arrival of a CCB that never arrived
