JamieOber Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Figured I would share this with you all, my higher ed web association friend and kinda weather geek Georgy from Boston emailed me this: "Hey, can you please tell my friend that driving from Syracuse to Boston, leaving Friday noon, is a really ****ing stupid idea and that it doesn't matter if she has an SUV? She thinks it's not going to be a big deal." Gotta love some people with no understanding of weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris L Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 This will rival January 2005 and December 2003, I would think. Cape for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lava Rock Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I hope this storm produces as currently depicted but what a heck of a way to run a winter. We'll probably all end up above avg after this. Who would of thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR Airglow Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Pretty well actually. Side roads will prob be a disaster for a while if there's widespread 20"+ but the main roads are usually pretty clear within 12-24 hours. I've found CT is more of an issue...I-84 can be ugly a day or two after a big storm...though perhaps they have gotten better. I experienced it a few times back in '09. yeah CT can be horrible, friday night commute on 95 is going to be a nightmare. Thank god for Metro North... -skisheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 You can get fairly cheap motel/hotel rooms out toward ORH in the Marlborough area right at I-495/Rt 20 junction or Westborough on Rt 9 west of 495. Should be able to get something for 40-50$ If you want a bit closer to BOS, try looking into Framingham, still should have some reasonable prices there.

SR Airglow Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 First call map. Impressive. On the border of 10-14 and 14-18, impressive indeed! In all seriousness though think this is a decent depiction for now, although think some of the coastal CT amounts might have to go down to 10-14 pending 0z guidance. -skisheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank god for Metro North... -skisheep In my experience CT DOT does a great job compared to some of the broke local towns. They recently switched to 100% salt and have begun pretreating a few years ago. Metro North will fail badly once the pack gets over a foot...I know from experience! CT also recently purchased some of these bad boys: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugarloaf1989 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I've found CT is more of an issue...I-84 can be ugly a day or two after a big storm...though perhaps they have gotten better. I experienced it a few times back in '09. I think that the CTDOT does a good job with snow removal on eastern section of I-84 from my area to the Holland/Union line. To be fair it's a large 3 lane highway in each direction, and it's in a very rural area of Connecticut. A large portion of the highway is at elevations of 800-1,000' which means snow on the roadway when other parts of the state are raining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does marlborough usually run for snowstorms? Marlborough is kinda hilly in spots so you might get some slight orographic enhancement. For some reason Hudson next door typically doesn't do NEARLY as well, but Milford to the south tends to do a little better. Where are you coming up from?
