Bostonseminole Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 One of my cats died today. I remember right before the Boxing Day storm an uncle died and I contorted myself from not going to his funeral because I hadn't arranged for the dog. So I booked a flight on 12/27.....and of course it got cancelled. So I'm wondering if historic snows and death go hand in hand..... sorry to hear Jerry.

weathafella Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 It's all good...the kittie was ready to leave. I got her before the April Fools blizzard in 1997 at the age of 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I remember posting on Eastern there was no way I could give an accurate depth, crazy drifting. I settled out at 18 about the same as surrounding towns but much less than the Cape, I think this will occur again if all holds serve. If anyone can go visit Nollo Rollo, he is prime territory for the best of snow wind surf combo. There's so much time left between now and storm onset....I'm less confident than you for here. Winds and seas are going to be problematic, especially if we get into multiple tide cycles. Maybe it was as simple as getting out of the pattern of northern stream dominance for the models to snap back. We will find out over the next 12 or so hours of runs. I'm not as convinced as everyone else that there is only positive upside at this juncture. Jerry sorry about the kitty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiator Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 So how is the plowing up in CT? If the storm ends like 9am Saturday. What are the chances of leaving at that time and making it back to Harrisburg, PA by 5 pm? In general, the highways should be in reasonable shape if the DOT can keep up with the rate of accumulation (however local streets may be a different story, depending on exactly which town you are in), but if the storm is an "overachiever", the Governor may decide to do something Governor-ish and declare all highways closed to non-emergency traffic, in which case all bets are off.

If youre willing to go to waterbury just drive another 30 minutes and go to either torrington, Norfolk, harwinton, colebrook, new Hartford etc. All elevated hill towns with els. approaching 1400' (1800' in Norfolk) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiator Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Go to torrington or Norfolk. At least the Waterbury area offers two major highway choices (go West on I-84, or go South on Rt. 8 to go West-ish on I-95 if the shoreline is less clobbered). Torrington or Norfolk, not so much.

What are the chances of leaving at that time and making it back to Harrisburg, PA by 5 pm? If we actually get 12"+ on the coast, 95 is going to be ugly, it's already usly most of the day without a snowstorm, so with 12"+ it could be very dicey... -skisheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROOSTA Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I can't believe the model output combine that with consistancy of every single one... EPIC! I give a heads-up to a co-worker on Monday about a possible foot of snow incoming. Soon he told anoher and in twenty minutes I had the whole office questioning. Oh the snickering, jabs and healthy ragtime. Your basic weenie syndrone when you open your mouth... LOL I bet many can relate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 What if it's onto something? The Euro was a late catch at 12z. The assumption that this time around nothing at all will change is ? Nam is slower in the north faster in the south. Net east shift by. 36h from the 12z run. 18z is tossed. Likely just a later capture than the earlier run as it was pretty far west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's any highway that will get a lot of attention it will be that one. Plus the heaviest snow will be out of here by midnight Friday night so plenty of time to get the roads in passable shape by morning. Few people will be on the road too which helps.

True, but have heard horror stories of that road in snowstorms.

ROOSTA Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I just sat down at 7:30 this evening. Looked up and it's after 10pm. I just lost 2 hours of my life and have no idea where the time went.
