CoastalWx Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I certainly hope so but they do saturate NBC with commercials. NBC has run Bob Maxsons epic forecast about 100 times today as if to rub it in LOL Nah, he'll be fine. That's good he did that...calling those idiots out for trying to blame us.

codfishsnowman Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Great report, got a genny? no but was able to stay at a friends in Turners Falls. Interestingly up here they had the same amount of snow but they had a lot less foliage on the trees and it made all the difference. Walking around here there are quite a few branches and a few large limbs down but nothing like the carnage in the lower PV valley and down into central and northern Ct. Interestingly enough talking to a friend of mine who lives in an elevated part of Bristol Ct she measured 22 inches on her picnic table. Even in Bristol elevation made a big difference between fifteen inches and nearly two feet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherMA Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Yeah i think the 8 are 12/13/07, 12/19/08, 12/19/09, 1/3/10, 12/26/10, 1/12/11, 1/27/11, 2/1/11 How many has ORH had? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 How many has ORH had? Since '07-'08...they had zero in '07-'08 (many close calls though)....but since then 12/19/08, 3/2/09, 2/24/10, 12/26/10, 1/12/11, 1/27/11, 2/1/11, 10/28/11 Same amount...but ORH kills them in 8"+ events which is where most of the difference comes in that time. BOS has actually done better relative to climo than ORH the past 4 winters. If you extend it back to the beginning of the decade, I'm sure the number of 10"+ events will start separating very quickly...esp since years like '02-'03 and '00-'01 had big interior gradient.

Yeah, I was trying to think of more for ORH and got completely stumped and that's why I asked. I can think of some 7-8" ones though as you said....12/16/07, 1/21/11, 1/18/11, 12/9/09 (t-storm at the end?), and probably many more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 3 , none on homes rest in cars and one on ATV hit wires. That's sad but it actually could have been much worse than that I suppose. My friend told me yesterday that he and another of my friends were driving around during the storm. I told him he's a fooking moron and that's how people die. I seriously don't understand why people would have to drive around in a situation like that, unless of course there is some sort of emergency but it's just asking for trouble.

I remember Ekster in Attleboro posting about it while he was snow blowing his driveway. He said it was like someone was shaking a box of arm and hammer baking powder down to 1/4 mile vis, lol. If we had good snow growth in that storm, someone would have probably gotten 18", lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 He has thousands of mice in hamster wheels. I enjoy tracking this actually...I refresh the page every 20-30 minutes and write down the number if it's different. Since I began doing this at 8:28 PM there were 494,385 (39%) of CL&P customers w/o power. As of 11:31 PM the number is down to 469,759 (37%).
