Damage In Tolland Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 I'm always surprised it seems Tolland takes its sweet time for everything. But heavy heavy winds, Well it's just rural enough that we're not high on the priority list. Jen teaches in Ashford which is truly the boonies. They are still 100% w/o power. These NE hill towns always rake in SE wind events. Got the call 10 mins ago..Day 3 of no school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 http://www.wral.com/...esday/11717031/ Hopefully some of these crews will make it up to you guys I remember another crew from NC that was here last year after the October snowbliz. Yellow trucks..I think it was Pike Electric. They actually were the ones that restored power to my hood after 8 days out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My niece is in Ashford - she's using my generator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said the crews are in Ct. now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin1927 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Boston seems to have been spared too. Commute this morning was a breeze. NOBODY on 93 at 8:30AM. It was like Sunday morning traffic. Hope everyone is doing okay and is safe at least. Ya we were pretty much spared. No damage around my neighborhood barring some small twigs and branches. I was really hoping we could get some hurricane force gusts in here, but it was still a pretty fun day. Not even close to some of my top/favorite weather events here though. After seeing the stunning pictures and video out of New York I guess we should be grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After seeing the stunning pictures and video out of New York I guess we should be grateful. I know, it was rocking for a while, but we've had way worse. I will say the steady groan of the winds actually impressed me. It wasn't just all in gusts like many of our wind events are....just a constant howl.

It wasn't just all in gusts like many of our wind events are....just a constant howl. Yep, still looking to add to my list of top weather events here. Between the October snowstorm last year in the interior and now this storm, I feel like we have sort of missed out on some crazy weather events. Really hoping we get an Eastern New England special this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hoping we get an Eastern New England special this winter. I wasn't here, but this area and especially south did well in Irene all things considered. We've had a ton of events to live through, I'm happy to have been through them where other areas may not have had the ferocity. The NYC areas has been the weather capitol the last few years. Floods, wind, tornadoes, blizzards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wx4cast Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 The Sound avoided the worst. We lucked out in a sense because as catastrophic it was... it could have been worse. Much worse. Ryan nice graph. What site is this from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Ponder this, think of how extremely rare both 10/29/11 was and 10/29/12 was. To have such rare storms on the same day. I basically said the same to you this morning... Here is a pic my aunt from Jamestoen, RI sent me. This is the same stretch of "road" that the bus with children tried to cross in 1938 Some people never learn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 the snow pics from tn, nc, va, wv, md, pa are very cool to see guys. it's amazing how the s. apps can snow hard with a well time'd cane hybrid rips lol a blog from mt. leconte tn show'd some awesome pics , there is a inn at the top 6400' damnnn that's some elevation bout 20 inches there and bombing away on upslope Mt. Leconte Lodge is up to 3 feet of snow now... still dumping on radar. Look at the topographic map of that place... the TN/NC border is a freakin' 6,000ft spine. I think the northern Greens are set up good for orographic precipitation, this place is nuts. From elevations below 1,000ft into a spine that's over a mile high (the entire state border is way, way up there). Northwest flow just killing these spots.

Organizing Low Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 You are alive!!! (miss ya man) stupid work has cut into a lot of my internet time.....alas i should not complain i know. tbh, the bigger issue is that the place where i live is on a shared router for the building (internet is included in rent) and my laptop always logs me off Americanwx between browsing sessions.....it sounds like a minor annoyance, but it is extremely annoying. i am not sure if i don't have the proper settings, or if its the shared router thing....i dont know. anyways, i am lurking, waiting for winter and the bruins, ill be here with you guys. otherwise it is wait, wait wait. red sox season wasnt worth loggin in for, nor will it be until the Big Oaf is gone. anyways, impressive storm, glad to hear most of you made it through for the most part.

HIPPYVALLEY Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Driving around Greenfield today I saw no damage and only a few small branches down. The rain bands just never made it this far west so none of the higher winds mixed down outside of a few gusts. I think our sustained was maybe 15 - 20mph gusts to 30? My heart goes out to those to the south, in a few days we'll all understand just how bad the damage was in NYC and NJ. More and more pictures and stories coming out. Mind boggling damgae in some areas. Price tag is going to way up there. Katrina numbers? Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 It will be far,far worse than Katrina was Quite possible. Certainly in terms of value of property damaged.

powderfreak Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I think its pretty cool how many interesting parts this storm had. The fact that its been snowing for like 36 hours now in the central and southern Appalachians with temperatures in the mountains of TN/NC/WV in the 20s. Meanwhile, many many miles northward, here in northern VT the temperatures at 4,000ft have been hovering around 50F for the past few days. Amazing to see a storm advect +10C air at H85 over us here in the north, while advecting sub 0C air at H85 down into the southeastern U.S. It was colder today in Charlotte, NC than it was at the summit of Mount Mansfield at 4K in northern VT.
