Avdave Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Got a place that sits on the east side of the bay in Northampton Co. This might be rough on it. So what time we leaving? They may get more snow than us all season long up here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePhotoGuy Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I think the digex solution would be a worse scenario in terms of surge up the bay. Thanks! I have a PDF file somewhere from MEMA or another emergency managment agency and it talks about the worst case scenario for storm surge. I will have to find it.

I always rely on orh and coastal to stop in our subforum when things are interesting. I've heard rumors about blizz but I had no idea... If anything it's making me realize the non-met part of the ma subforum is pretty darn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravensrule Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 opinion time. I can get a generator on Amazon for $200 and delivered by Sat. Yes or no? It cannot hurt, in our area even if you don't need it this time you can always use it in the future. For $200 you can have some peace of mind.

Yes or no? just do it. you arent moving anytime soon probably and you will have it for years to come for use again and again. $200 isnt a bad price. You wanna go in half with me and go to New England and buy generators and then we can sell them down here, just have to get a u haul truck. they wont need them up there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedtobe Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 opinion time. I can get a generator on Amazon for $200 and delivered by Sat. Yes or no? If you ahd bge or pepco, buying it would be a lock. If you buy it make sure you know how to hook it up to what needs to be kept running. I ended up having an electrician come in and hook it up so I could run it for different things (the well pump or the refrigerators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes life so much easier. Especially if you have kids and a lot of food. I couldn't imagine being without one now. I went to home depot to get propane and batteries. Pretty quiet an uneventful.

Yep, we had that in our house in New Hampshire during the big Dec Ice storm in 08. Had the well, kitchen, bedroom and den all hooked up to it. Had heat, hot water, electricity. It came in very handy after being without electricity for over a week in mid dec. Not fun at all but we survived, even with the house on the market and people walking through it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

potvn_sx Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 It seems likely that there will be snow in the WV mountains. I know its still early but what is your take on how much? If you could, would you rather experience the snow at Snowshoe or the wind and rain in NOVA? I am considering getting a room Sunday - Tuesday at Snowshoe.

09-10 analogy Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I did the week without electricity thing back in June, SNE is welcome to that if they want. The four days without power after the derecho soured my enthusiasm for high wind events. It was soured by the subsequent heat, which tends to do that to organic material and, since I like to think of my emotions as living things, then QED. Now here comes another incident that might dump hordes off the grid for days at a time and, since I'm nothing if not a member of the horde, I'm kinda leery. On the other hand, standard deviations, historic significance, etc., and I've noticed over the past 24 hours, things that would normally tick me off, don't. So there's still a part of me that's getting stoked. If we lose power, I've got a drawer full of sweaters that I rarely wear that'll see the light of day. Some of them even fit my daughter. And if I cut them up, I could make a passable dog sweater out of it, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow > rain so go for it Models have consistently given 10-20"+ for the mts so a foot of snow or more isn't out of the question. If you're in Baltimore, maybe Garrett county is closer? They'll be plastered if this works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhineasC Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Is it safe to say if the Euro/18Z GFS solution pans out it will be the worst tropical hit around these parts in many, many years? The last few have been pretty dull other than the power outages that seem to happen despite the lack of major wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
