Ginxy 27 Oct 2011 Some of us unemotionally broke it down. It is 33 at my house with accumulating snow. I am approaching 1 inch, first time ever for me in Oct. my leaves are full of snow, not falling. The reasoning because it never happened before in spite of hard science is bad science. No emotion just fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 A co-worker had a discussion with Harvey about that storm. As anomalous as it was, sometimes you have to look at the data that's in your face, put your balls out there and go for it. I mean eff the fact no first order stations reported it....look at the dam data for God's sake. I came in that morning to help a co-worker out. I remember immediately saying amend all these TAFs lol. When models are -4C at 925 mb there is no reason to forecast rain. The garbage discussion about warm ground needs to end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Do you ever have to clean yours out? I notice a lot of my photos and cell phone screen shots and stuff are big files so it starts knocking old posts out. I've started putting more on photobucket to host my AMWX media so it wont disappear later in time.yes I use photobucket too, donate every year but didn't think old attachments were deleted, maybe I did delete them one time whn full? Don"t remember doing it but I am losing it slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one ever answered his weenie IMBYism. Pure powder up in GC. Might as well have been mid-winter. The day prior to the storm had a balmy range of 26.7-38.8. We topped out at 34* at 12:30p.m. on the 29th, quickly dropping to 30* with the start of the snow and then settling into the 20's for the duration.

Damage In Tolland Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 And nowhere near the damage the valley got. I wouldn't say that..Less yes..but there was massive damage. Ryan came up here and did a news story on it..The entire town was w/o power for many days..including power poles snapped. Lower els in town were worse off sure.The last few inches fell with a temp of 28-29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I wouldn't say that..Less yes..but there was massive damage. Ryan came up here and did a news story on itVernon got absolutely destroyed. One of the best weenie rides of my life the days after, Tolland got hit hard but just a tad west the snow was heavier and wow. Probably the only time in my life I was thrilled to not get smoked, after losing power for a week to Irene I was done with the no power stuff. Have to say historically the most anomalous snow of my life. I totally forgot about the inch on the 27th too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Just keep in mind that while anything at this time of year is a pipe-dream (what the hell is that anyway--something to do with the old opium dens??), with each passing day the odds of something with snow vs. rain grows. Bide your time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danstorm Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Yeah Vernon and Simsbury were the 2 hardest hit towns. The elevation here and the 1-2 degree difference def made a difference Many towns in W CT were a disaster, too. I went home to Ridgefield for it, where we had 15" and I lost my Honda Accord roof to a huge limb. Took me about two hours to get 4 miles to the center of town there were so many trees down. I'm sure my experience wasn't unique across the state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I can't find any of my pictures from that storm. I just checked my emails that I was sending family and apparently the pictures were removed from "sky drive" after a year. Here are some snippets: Begins by mid/late afternoon, winds down in the morning. I'd avoid being under trees. Branches and powerlines will likely come down. Expect wide-spread and extensive power outages. An early "storm in progress update" --Just measured 8" that came in about 2.5 hours. Still coming at an insane rate. Nice powder. Here are a couple pictures I took a little while ago. The truck had only been sitting there for an hour when I took this. Later that night: --Well--it's 11:00, and I just took my last measurement before bed: 21.9". Still coming down. Pretty crazy stuff for 9 hours. I forget if I wound up with 23 or 26". A fun storm either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure my experience wasn't unique across the state. Your right. I was living in Danbury were officially reported 18" (personally think it was a bit high), complete destruction in that area...danbury, bethel, newtown, ridgefield, new fairfield. We lost power for 8 days it was nuts. We all know the pressure CL&P was under, but people were angry about how long it was taking. Everyone flocked to diners and wifi fast food spots that were using generators or somehow still had power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
