CT Rain Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 how do they do that? Compaction, melting today. Look at the site, see where and how observing occurred, interview observer, etc. In a storm like this... you could have 35" and measure on a deck and come up with 40" with snow blowing off roof etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Freezer effect. What's the temp when rain comes in? Should start ticking up toward freezing. Models are really warm but I massaged everything colder given deep pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Most people I know don't. The transmission lines got taken out in many places. The problem they're having is some of the transmission lines are in wooded areas that are almost impassable right now. They'll have most up and running in the next 36-42 hours from what they're saying but no doubt there are going to be stragglers into the weekend.

Brian5671 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Down to 10 in IJD and 15 at HVN. I'm hoping soon so I don't have to drop the mins like 10 degrees from what I have already lol. On the rise here-went from 17.9 to 18.4 fairly quickly--cloud cover increasing as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave it at that. New Haven County got a ton of snow, Who cares how much. Enjoy the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowwoman Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I wish I could accurately measure because the amount of snow in my yard looks staggering its over our 4ft fence in parts. I wonder how much more there could have been if we hadn't mixed granted while mixing it snowed pretty damn hard along with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike245 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 We had our 60' tulip tree snap about 5' from the base and take out our neighbors above ground pool. Needless to say but our snow in the side yard will be around for a long time. Its frozen solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sey-Mour Snow Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I live in the area that had the jackpot seymour, oxford, hamden, milford, derby, etc... It was absolutely incredible driving back from norwalk today ( i was stuck at the station for 2 days) they only had 22".. the piles as I drove east were amazing.. I was talking with people all night and the reports were so consistent with others and the radar at the time. I actually think most people saw 38-42" but fell asleep before the storm ended and the last few inches compacted and or blew away.. because as most of the top reporters went to sleep they were between 33-36" then went to bed and it snowed for 3-4 more hours after.. I've never seen anything like this before.. bridgeport is a disaster area, had to bring my wife to work because she was stuck in shelton, she walked a mile to meet me then I drove to ST. Vincents in Bridgeport and had to walk her to the hospital bc roads were unpassable.. 52" pools are covered everywhere, every single town around here has over 3' just unreal..

Quincy Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 There are still cars stranded in the middle of roads in New Haven. A plow-equipped Hummer was still stuck on State Street (main road) right here at the station even this afternoon. (It looked like it may have finally been getting dug out a little while ago) Common snow drifts of 7-8 feet up to the tops of doors and over. Incredible.

New England Storm Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I got 19 Inches, that jives with what other towns in my area had for totals. Saw 3 flashes of lightning and had true blizzard conditions IMO. Just got power on heating up the house that got down to 43 by the digital thermostat. We also have a small tree down (Pond St, Halifax) saw several trees and limbs down on Elm st, Halifax/Hanson Line, Limbs down all along Rt.27.

We have pushed back all the snow as far as it's going to go your roads are all open .tomorrow I will have the loaders out moving all the intersections so you can see pulling out . And starting to open the schools parking lots. And I would like to thank the residents for all their compliments and support and I will also like to thank my staff who did an outstanding job So as we pull last truck in for the night see you tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineJayhawk Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Must have been pretty fantastic in Portland - my parking garage has snow everywhere on the interior. But the roads are all open as far as I can tell, great job by the crews here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
