Damage In Tolland Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Shades of 1978 with that. I remember Ella Grasso doing the same thing--I think it was for four days. I reember all the National guard trucks and equipment coming through to clear snow for days and days. Those were the good old days when they could just dumpt the snow in the river. Yeah he's deploying the National Guard now.. This is stuff you read about in weenie books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 So, when's our next threat? Post-mortem on this will be interesting. Kudo's on the NAM for the ridiculous QPF amounts--perhaps it's reputation will come up from the gutter a little as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 35+? Congrats, Scott--if you're going to break the drought, do it in style! Have you gotten any measurements? I'm not really sure how to get anything resemlbing accurate here, so out there I'm sure it's near impossiible. Love seeing those New Haven County reports from midnight.

moneypitmike Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 They will for money. Fatherhood has made Scott cynical. Parenting has amazing effects on all aspects of life. From what I could see on radar last night around 9:00p.m., I would not be surprised if they had 3'. But, like you said, it's impossible to get an accurate measurement from this. My guess is 18-20" here from various eyebaling,, but man, who the hell knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
