weatherwiz Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I'm uploading my pics to facebook now, have 264 pics so far with another 200-400 probably coming tomorrow.

CoastalWx Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Seems like a lot of snow on those evergreens for it to be today. The mystique of God's Country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Seems like a lot of snow on those evergreens for it to be today. I can believe it because there's evergreens in shaded areas here that are still holding huge blobs of snow on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a bit chocked that I didn't see more in the way of evergreens down, those guys have to be strong as hell. I can't even recall seeing any down.

I can't even recall seeing any down. They are quite flexible...the pines are a bit more vulnerable. But for the most part even back in the ice storm, the evergreens survived very well.

ski MRG Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Pete was that today? WTF. Yes. The truck was this AM and the roof shot was this afternoon. Anything not recieving full sun is holding well. Sunny aspects are getting burned but it will be a few days bfore it cooks off even there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Torchey Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Up at my clients today in North Stamford, in Alpha 5 territory, 1 mile from the ny border at 495 ft asl........not much left, client measured 6" of snow from treemageddon, some impressive tree damage up there though. Been all over that area, searching for those 12 inch amounts, keep hearing 6 in that area, makes sense.........my search continues for MT ALPHA 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski MRG Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 A few more one from the ride home this evening and one from this morning. It is basically a Winter landscape. If it weren't for the Halloween decorations and the occasional tree with a few orange leaves on it you'd swear it was December. All my x-c trails are well covered and have been setting up firm by dusk. Even if temps warm enough to melt this off I will have had well over a week of early season snow fun. This has been a great stroke of fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski MRG Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Even in the beating sun on a black roof the snow is resisting. Major slide action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmanmitch Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Amazing how much is left where you are Pete! Mostly gone here in the sunny areas. My deck, which is very shady and faces north, still has about 9 or 10 inches on it though. The lawn, which is quite sunny, now has large bare patches on it. Woods still look mostly snow covered from what I can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have agreed hoping for the daily double of skiing in the morning and 18 in the afternoon. Personally, I'm ready for another storm. The only thing better than a big snowstorm is several big snowstorms in a row.lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Nice Wiz, nobody has brought this up, but..........you left your town right before the most epic storm in its history, to me worse than the missed Torn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Nice Wiz, nobody has brought this up, but..........you left your town right before the most epic storm in its history, to me worse than the missed Torn Yup The party in VT though was for me and I really didn't want to be the one to cancel it. My friend and I did talk though numerous times about cancelling it b/c of the potential danger involved, such as getting stranded up on the mountain. It would have been crazy with all the thunder/lightning and hearing transformers blow and trees crack all night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I just took a jog down my street...my street does have power, lots of lights off b/c it's 1:00 AM but I did see some. When I got to the end of the street...complete darkness. I drew up a little map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a good feeling when you get a week of skiing in in October; it starts to feel like the daily winter routine again. We really need to get a SNOWTEL system like they have out west, set-up in a clearing up there at 1500ft. Then everyone can monitor the snowpack and snowfall remotely.

weatherwiz Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I really can't remember the names of the streets I think one that veers to the left might be Ware actually then it quickly veers to the right and becomes something else then the street goes right/left and is Kingswood (that I know) and if you go left it turns into South Quaker Lane. I may have drawn the map wrong too...oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
