CoastalWx Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Thanks to this morning's fall, I am ending up with 17 inches. Neighbor Jim said he has 2 feet, but he is notorious for exaggeration. Like the time he said his mother "lived to biblical ages." She dropped dead at 92. Nice, but hardly "biblical." So I am going with 17. Nice man. Happy you guys did well. This is why we live in New England. Nobody phucks with our nor'easters. Nobody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 There's one station open in the area the line is 50+ cars long. Desperation as people are parking and running out of fuel. Horrific situation. Wires down everywhere. Still snowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslot Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 Your windy sample of liquid equivalent reads more like mine...closer to 10:1. The winds were so strong that even the ASOS stations struggled with the liquid equiv. CON had 1.48" for their 24" and PWM 0.88" for their 31.9". I'm going to end up over double PWM's liquid for half of their snowfall. About 12" of that OES in the am had to be like 50:1........lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUweathermanDD Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Agreed guys, I have seen some doozies in Eastern Baltimore down in MD, PDII gave me 34, and Feb 5-6 2010 gave me 31, amazing storms, blizzard conditions in the Feb 9-10 with 42" of snow depth and 10 foot drifts in 60mph gusts was the greatest thing man. I know the feeling, that death band was incredible. Congrats to you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapturedNature Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 4:45 hours and nowhere near done. Staffordville had 36? Nah, he reported 31.6". He's at the SW corner of a lake and I think it drifts into his yard. That or or he added up his 6 hour totals. I don't doubt that he measured that but I had no measurement over 28" around my house.

Collinsville Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Hey CT people - any total snowfall amounts for me? Trying to make a list. Did our collinsville poster post? He has great snowfall obs. 23.5" on the level here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarloaf1989 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Still not sign of any plowing around here, only on Route 31. Lots of drifting still going on including parts of my driveway that where clear this morning. I'll do more cleanup on sunday when it should be warmer with calmer winds.

PWMan Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 35.5" being reported in Gorham, ME. Slantsticking drift measurer? Portland officially had about 32" and there were numerous others around or just over 30", so it's not a completely ridiculous outlier. This was obviously a tricky one for measuring. It's interesting to look back on how we got to our big totals. Although it snowed pretty much continuously for close to 36 hours, most of the accumulation came during two relatively concentrated bursts: the CF early yesterday morning and the crazy banding late last night.

CapturedNature Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 We need to have a thread with all the maps, radars, and photos...that would be cool...The storm of all of our lifetimes for sure. I posted it earlier, but I started putting up the stuff that I archived here: http://www.stormmonitoring.com/archive/20130208Blizzard/ I need to create an index page but the maps, radars, reports, etc are all there.

weathafella Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Good call, my plow guy lives in Fairfield and said that people were trying to shovel 30 inches themselves with a shovel, and were hiring him on the spot as he drove by they were so miserable. Out of curiosity what's the going rate for shoveling up there, my 19" cost me $90 for the sidewalks, front walk, and driveway, but we're on a corner so have more sidewalk, as well as a front and back door paths, he came yesterday afternoon as well when we had about 6", and then did the other 13" this morning. -skisheep He made me name the price....probably over paid. He did the sidewalks. Redid the side, the plow piles, opened up space for 2 neighbors trash and recycling. I paid 2 guys $80. He the gave me a huge bag of salt. I'm looking forward to the backyard and deck tomorrow myself. Have been under the weather and like everyone on the bb sleep deprived. In good health but 66 and want to walk around and take it all in more. This gives me the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 The roads here are passable. ALso measured 17" here now, among the crusty snow layer which is probably an extra three or four inches, but officially I measured 17" beats out the February 7th 2003 snowstorm for fourth place in Harwich, MA records.

In good health but 66 and want to walk around and take it all in more. This gives me the time. you might not have overpaid as much as you think, how much snow did you get and roughly how long are your sidewalks? It was $90 down here, but he has a plow for the driveway and did it in about 5 minutes, we probably have about 300 feet of sidewalk due to being on a corner and having front and back doors each with walks to the street, plus one to the driveway in the back of the house. When they make you name the price, give them an insanley low number, like $20, when they refuse, ask what their best price is, they usually will give you a decent deal. To me no reason to waste time shoveling, 6" sure, but a foot plus and I want to enjoy it, not shovel it all day. It's only money, it can be replaced, while once the snow melts, it's gone. -skisheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
