snowfan Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 The snow pics from WV were epic. I remember we made it through most of the first day and then finally lost power around 8pm. Absolutely nothing was open that night on the rte 3 corridor in anne arundel county, that's a very heavy commercial corridor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 the weenie posts were (are) hilarious to read I was surprisingly less against it happening than I remember.

Mrs.J Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Sandy's eye coming on shore That seems right. I remember trying to sleep and thinking the roof was going to rip off. The creeks going on above my head were not something I ever want to hear again. That and loosing power at the onset at 5pm. We were lucky though as we were up by 11am the following morning.

H2O Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 +1 jillion Guarantee that the actual forecast for 10/31 will be mostly sunny and highs in the 60's This was a great call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gymengineer Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I kind of don't get the 'meh-ing' of the experience. Was it because the damage was less than hyped? In terms of the actual experience-- 6-9" of rain with frequent gusts over 50 mph regionwide-- this was only topped by Hazel for a tropical/post-tropical system in our lifetimes. Or Isabel if storm surge is your thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I was thinking the "meh-ing" is sarcastic. Maybe not. I lost two 100-year old pines in my front yard during the storm with damage to the house. Noteworthy in my area, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lost two 100-year old pines in my front yard during the storm with damage to the house. Noteworthy in my area, anyway. The effects simply weren't memorable enough to warrant it being remembered as an incredibly exciting event, IMO. And I think most people (including me) tend to either exaggerate or downplay such hyped events after the fact. The evolution of the storm was absolutely remarkable, but overall it was just a rainy, cold, and (quite) windy event IMBY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you normally believe an eight day out model run showing a hurricane moving north and then turning left into the EC? We all should have been skeptical and we were. once it got real it was discussed properly. Thanks for stopping by!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To answer your question, no However, it was pretty clear early on that the chances of it happening were above normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause the very next day it was shown going into NE. We in the MA have every reason to not immediately swallow storms shown that far out. Most of our winters show a 5+ day storm that goes bye bye. But I digress. We always welcome our brethern from NJ to come in and point out people who post multiple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
