Terpeast Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Amazing pics, just beautiful and I wish I was there. But driving down the mountain can't have been very fun... looked like those snow laden trees were about to fall right over, taking power lines with them!

ThreeRedheads Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Beau, Love your photos and videos, but that picture of the snow and the American flag-A+ Looks like they state/county did a good job clearing the roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeauDodson Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 Beau, thanks for coming out to document the storm. We enjoyed your company and hope to make use of all the pics you took. THANKS for having us - you have an INCREDIBLE place there. Hidden gem. I would encourage others to come and visit your place. I hope your recovery goes well in the coming days and weeks. The damage coming down the hill was extensive - tree and power line/poles. Reminded me of our 2008 ice storm. Not a good situation. Thanks again!

Amped Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 SOme day I'll learn photography. Until then it's good to have Beau. Looks like there was a few more inches even after I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjames1992 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 EPIC pics! Looks like they state/county did a good job clearing the roads. If it did that here, we'd be shut down for a week, haha. When we got 1'+ in 2000, that's basically what happened (though the crews around here have gotten a lot better after that debacle)! Of course, the backroads up in the "hollers" could take days to clear up in the WV mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marked8 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 My wife and I decided to head up there today and there are still quite a few businesses closed. We stopped at the coffee shop in town as well as in town and took some pictures. Here are a few from 93 on the way into town with an afternoon temp of 31 degrees: Once we got into town we saw that things have cleaned up some, but an amazing amount of snow is still on the ground for early November: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marked8 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 And then I got a few shots of the contrast of the green versus snowy tops west of Moorefield: It was a great day trip. I have to thank Beau for the inspiration to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snownut Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Great photos, thanks for sharing, the third picture from the bottom is South Branch Mountain (near Moorefield) and the get away home I have for sale is in the forest in the middle of the picture. I had an 1" of snow there on raised surfaces as the solid snow cover literally on the top edge of my lot where 4" to 8" was common. And then I got a few shots of the contrast of the green versus snowy tops west of Moorefield: It was a great day trip. I have to thank Beau for the inspiration to go.

We didn't get the depth of DC but had the water content. My kids trampoline was touching bottom till I shoveled it. Had some minimal blue snow action, but my location got smoked man, Jan 30: 6" Feb 2: 5.5" Feb 5-6: 31.5" Feb 9-10: 21" Thats 12 days: 64" of snow, the meteo winter is dec 1-feb 28/29, a total of 90 days, and averaging 18 inches at BWI for the mean. I received almost 400% of my seasonal average, or 360 meteo winter days combined, in 12 days, or .03 (3.3 percent to be exact) of the time. For the winter if you add 1.5" dec 5 1.2" new years, and of course 21.5" dec 18-19 plus some side events totaling a few inches my winter was 92" or in essence 511% of average. Overall, we'll never see it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Heard a report today on AM radio that this storm took down 3000 trees and 300 power poles just in Garrett County, Md. Without giving numbers, the report also said that there were an inordinate amount of stranded motorists that had to be assisted and their cars moved to allow plows to keep open the roads.

We had a bottom top 10-- Dec 19th hurt-- models had us in 2 feet and the banding set up JUST north and west by 20 miles. 14 was good-- but 20 would have been better. CHO had 24 for example same storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
