Tropopause_Fold Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 post em!! obviously nstar doesn't do the power for the majority of the communities not shaded - so the area where it goes from black (>90% out) to nothing is not an accurate portrayal.

CT Rain Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Here's Irene and October snowstorm in CT... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropopause_Fold Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 They do a great job keeping power in Boston yeah - different infrastructure helps that. bunch of different aspects there too....as Scooter and Will talked about - SE of 95 the snow fell with temps in the 30s for a long time. IMBY it never flipped to rain but basically could have been rain...for several hours...then as the heavier stuff started to pinwheel in, it dropped from ~34F to 32F and just collected on everything.

CT Rain Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 i remember a text from ryan about 2 or 3 hours into the Oct event "we're f-ed" lol yeah pretty much. When it was snowing in Fairfield at 2 p.m. and there were already 5 or 6,000 people without power I knew it was a done deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only takes about 3" of paste with leaves on the trees to have serious problems. Getting 10"+ in areas that had like 70% leaf coverage was predictably a disaster.

Tropopause_Fold Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 kind of a neat coincidence in 2011-2013...you get Irene in august...followed by the Oct / halloween storm and then the next year sandy in the fall and the blizzard in feb then in 91-93....you get bob in august, "perfect storm" at halloween in october...then the next year you get the dec 92 storm (same general LP placement as sandy really) and then the 3/93 "superstorm" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 man...CT has just been smoked over the last several years.I have had over 110K in damages at work since Irene from power issues. Commercial Property really gets hurt by surges, single phasing and voltages issues. I am professionally grateful for the lull since the March storm, personally not. Lol tough internal struggle.

CT Rain Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 i mean we get big storms all the time, but each of those is historic And Jan of 2011 was remarkable with snow totals for the month and the Springfield tornado in June. It's been a remarkable stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting 10"+ in areas that had like 70% leaf coverage was predictably a disaster. Yup... the higher elevations were in the best shape as the snow was fairly powdery... which is remarkable for late October in SNE. What a wild storm that was.
