Baroclinic Zone Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Our indoor soccer complex in town which is a huge sporting complex had the bubble roof collapse last night..3 feet of snow was too much for it.. We were supposed to have a game there today at noon. I tried getting over there for pics but they have the road blocked off Two bubble domes that i recall in this area(Mansfield, Bridgewater) failed for that very reason. You need a hard roof. One never reopened and the other converted to hard roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One never reopened and the other converted to hard roof. Here's the link..We just found out this morning. Star Hill Bubble Collapses from Heavy Snow They had done extensive research and it was supposed to withstand 50 inches of snow and 100mph winds. It attracts leagues from all over CT..and there's volleyball and basketball courts inside too. I'm there 2x every weekend at least and sometimes 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 As that wasn't even wet snow. 30" fail. I know..34-35 inches of windblown powder...and you have to figure alot of it blew off the roof. It's weird. For those that are familiar..you can see the complex on 84 as you enter or leave Tolland..It's right thru the trees off the highway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalcottWx Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 My guess is Boston should stay under snow emergency for at least another 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Torchey Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 i urge people in ffld county west of westport to take the drive up this way........was just in norwalk and darien, its a different world.

IrishRob17 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 That sucks, just take it easy and put some heat on it. Heat will bring more blood to the area and cause more pain. Ice is the way to go to keep the swelling down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Joe... You're right. Westport had a press release saying the east side of town had 6" more snow than the west and it was the oddest thing the PW director had ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfenn1117 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 4 hours just to dig my car out from an apartment parking lot - cant imagine those with driveways, sidewalks, etc. nowhere to put it....improvised by filling up my trash can and carrying it to a grassy area. The parking lot has 6-8 foot canyons between cars who have dug out and those who haven't. Anyone who doesn't clean today will be sorry tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grinch1989 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I'm going to go out on a limb and say no school all week based on what I am seeing, in my town anyways. Most roads are one lane wide that are clear and cars don't cut it. I also think the national guard and/or other towns will need to be called in here. The word is shelton pulled the plows off the road in the middle of the storm due to safety and now over half the trucks are broken and we only own a few payloaders. So plows don't cut it anymore and all the roads will need the big stuff to even cut down the middle of them, let alone widen them. Almost every side road looks like this. And to make matters they did plow a little on friday night, so there was some snow on the sides of the road and as you can see it is completely filled in.

SR Airglow Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Just got the word all schools closed monday and tuesday Not suprised at all, rest of the week a decent possibility. Not sure the driving up thing is such a good idea though, have heard 95 is a total mess east of norwalk. Rumor is down here that school might close tomorrow, not sure why they would do that, roads down here are fine. -skisheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
