Tolland Death Band Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 You are way off base. CLP has been so much slower. Most people in the ice storm had their power back inside of a week...very few were beyond 10 days. In this storm, Massachusetts had over 670,000 customers without power at one point. Almost everyone has it back now (think they are under 40,000 now) and most within 2-3 days. There's been a huge difference. The difference has been, the MA governor went on record early on with very strong language, used his bully pulpit, blasting delays by the MA utility publically. Malloy, OTOH, was wishy washy and meek with his statements and looked like a complete dink. And he waited 4 days to call the National Guard. What a loser.

wxmanmitch Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 21/20, Hi Mitch. we'reholding snow here in my glen. South facing aspects have burned off but all the North facing pitches still hold decent snow., The shaded spots in my yard still have 8-12" and our snow fort, while having suffered a few setbacks is still mostly intact. I'm just hoping to have some of the big piles and stufff in the shade survu=ive until the next snowfall. Unfortunately it does look pretty mild this week. After seeing the SN+ last weekend I really want Winter to take hold immediately. Should hit the teens here again tonight. Nice...amazing how your location holds that snow. 1,400' elevations here in Lenox are pretty much down to isolated patches. Got to 19º here last night, second night in the upper teens thus far here. Unfortunately a big torch is coming our way this week thanks to the raging -PNA. The cold will hopefully come back, but it will probably require considerable patience as we have a war between the Pacific and Atlantic teleconnector signals. Although the NAO goes negative mid-month, the PNA remains very negative as well. Which one wins is hard to say, but I think the Pacific will win out for the better part of November. Cold shots will likely be transient and be between extended periods of average to above average temps. I think December should get better as the climo sets in and the gradient shifts south. Of course, if the -NAO stays in tact, our chances will be better. I seem to recall that '93-'94 was a -NAO, -PNA winter, but correct me if I'm wrong. There were many SWFE that winter, but the gradient was pretty far south, giving SNE a big snow year. It was also a bit of a late bloomer as we didn't get into sustained cold and snow until late December. Good things can happen to those who wait.

weathafella Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Looks like a nice pattern change just in time for Thanksgiving per indices. NCEP EPO goes neg around then with a rising PNA and falling NAO. Good times ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Just got back from a yesterday/today trip to NYC. Was just texting Chris that I really would have liked to have gotten off 91/Merritt to scout out the damage. Visually from the highway, there was not a whole lot to see. Obviously the outages tell the whole story and I'd have like to have gotten a glimpse of what the neighboorhoods were like. But, between what the highway crews might have cleared and still some pretty heavy foliage, the extent of the damage was woefully hidden from the highways. Out to split the trees that were intentionally taken down. 46.3/30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamrivers Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 CL&P is a joke....look at the MA totals right now - 1% in both WMECO and National Grid in Western Mass....complete joke. Was at a wedding last night in Glastonbury, crew was staying in hotel from Vancouver. Said they had just worked 16 hour days 3 days in a row. Making $120/hour. Maybe I should become a lineman. If you're on Twitter, follow @FakeJeffButler....hilarious. Not sure who is behind it but it's damn funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 High of 50.7F here... currently 50F as the sun gets lower I love the return to standard time. Should cool off Gillette a bit. Still holding on to some snow, but half of my front yard is down to grass and leaves. I know what I'm doing Friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My front lawn still has patches of 1-2" of snow and for that reason we can't do the last mow yet. Oh well. 55/25, high of 56. There is still an incredible amount of leaves out there for 11/6.
