Monday snow event discussion/observations Feb. 3


Damage In Tolland

Recommended Posts

Roads are bad all around, not sure exactly about the dynamics of operations...Phil would be able to add a bunch more on that but I'm sure it ties back to basically no warning. A lot of those drivers are doing private jobs/lots instead of hitting the roads.

Yeah, I can imagine it was lack of warning. I imagine it takes a little time to mobilize all the private contractors etc etc.

School bus that comes by my house at 2:10 still isn't here

Oops

This is the point I was trying to make to CJ. It's not 1985...most families are two working parents. Buses being 30-60 minutes late or worse really throw things off. The 215 bus hasn't come through here yet, kids likely to be an hour or more late from school. They still haven't touched the side streets here so there's a solid 3+ on them of heavy wet snow.

We actually got a little lucky I feel like this last 90 minutes underperformed as the band to the south stole some of the moisture. Otherwise I think we would have pushed 6" even here. Hoping for another 1" to put it in the mid 4" range.

Yeah buses run on extremely tight schedule. One the older kids are off, they go do kindergarden. Now everything's thrown off.

Snow is lightening up here at the moment. Just shy of 4. Hoping for another inch or two.

I can tell you right now, after today, 100% sure schools won't be open Wednesday. I wouldn't be surprised if they started calling it tomorrow

The 2-4 3-6 looks good, SWCT FTW

 

This thread killed it.  Best forecasts around overall.  My range was a little wide but I think we'll see some 5" amounts in interior SE MA and maybe some spot 6s.

 

Heaviest snow of the day right now!!  wow

 

Yeah just looking at it, models all have the tail coming through and it may crank throwing down an inch or three on top.  Could put a lot of areas over the top.

 

We are back into good accumulating snow here.  Significant weight on the trees, another inch or two of this slop and we may start seeing some minor power outages.

 

Also starting to see some blowing around of the snow.  First time all day.

Wow Darien coming in with 7 inches at 1:00pm, still have some heavy stuff yet to come through as well.

They can end up with 10.  Imagine those heavy, wet, towering piles packed up against the light poles at the malls by tomorrow morning.  And 18 hours later, we begin to lay down another foot. And then on Sunday...well, we'll see.

Its possible. And looking at the models, there might be a solid layer of ice on top of the snow we get Wednesday. Exciting week for sure, I just hope the Wednesday Ice forecast of up to .5 doesn't happen.
