eekuasepinniW Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 was just checking the zones on wunderground and noticed the list of surviving PWS's has never been shorter. This is now the longest power outage ever at my location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Great shots Eyewall, I wish I had more time to go take scenics today. This is the most picturesque snow we've had in a long time that I can remember. Thank you and the lack of wind with this system was key along with the snow's consistency. It was setup nicely to stick to the trees and stay there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 BTV's map of snowfall totals... impressive gradient that luckily our VT contingent on this forum were on the good side of. Look at BTV area... 7-8" but Milton just to the north only 3.2". There's like a 20-30 mile gradient from 3" to 10-13". Last year we had a bit of bad luck in a few events, but this one we came out on the right side of it, also probably some luck there as even 20 miles further SE would've made a big difference here.

I think the Milton total may be a bit low but they were just outside the band we were in for a bit. I thought I saw a 5 inch report there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 was just checking the zones on wunderground and noticed the list of surviving PWS's has never been shorter. This is now the longest power outage ever at my location. I heard that all of Laconia has no power. Hopefully you get it back soon. It would be nice to get that inverted trough up here to give us a fresh dusting, probably not. My neighbors are seasonal residents from Boston that have not been up since Oct. They have a service to keep their lawn manicured perfect. Had not put in their driveway snow stakes, coming up tomorrow. The plow guy just came by and guessed where the driveway is. Woops, he missed by 6 feet and since the lawn was wet and not frozen dug the whole side up. They will not be pleased tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Miserable night coming up for 175,000 NH customers. PSNH had 33% of their 500,000 customers out this AM have been able to restore only 1% as of 4:30pm. Doesn't include NHEC customers either. With temps in the teens bad situation. Tomorrow night looks colder. Hope frozen pipes don't become and issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 40ish today, 90ish last week. About half. Of course the northern parts of the map had dry snow. Look around the Concord area very little on. I am surprised its not a bigger story, especially being in th 20's. 70F and no power is not bad, 25F is especially with out of town guests that you particularly are not fond of!

J.Spin Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 A few shots from this storm: Beautiful shots eyewall – definitely shows how the accumulations can go without too much wind. Drifts can be interesting, but the wind interferes with beautiful accumulations like that, complicates snowfall measurement, and degrades the quality of the champagne on the slopes, so I'm much more in favor of a clam storm over a windy one. I was just looking through my records from the past eight seasons, and this storm was also notable as our second largest in November for our location, only surpassed by the 11/20/08 storm with 14.2" of accumulation.

mreaves Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 13.5" was the final total here. A friend across town measured 14". Love having a snowblower but the newly redone driveway needs some more packing and freezing because I was spitting small stones like a machine gun. Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving and those folks in NH get their power back soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, quite the gradient off to our northwest – being in the banding definitely helped up here. I'm seeing 44" for the season at the mountain? That's just about double the total in the local mountain valleys, which says it's been a pretty cool month to me. I suspect that 44" ranks pretty well among Novembers at the mountain? It looks like the next opportunity for snow could be tonight into tomorrow – perhaps west side favored with the anticipated Froude Numbers: WATER VAPOR SHOW MID/UPPER LVL TROF ACRS THE NE CONUS WITH SEVERAL EMBEDDED S/W`S IN THE WEST/NORTHWEST FLW ALOFT. 1ST S/W ACRS CENTRAL/WESTERN NY WITH SOME MID LVL MOISTURE AVAILABLE WL IMPACT OUR CWA THIS EVENING...WHILE NEXT PIECE OF ENERGY WL MOVE ACRS OUR FA EARLY FRIDAY MORNING.

wxeyeNH Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Ok power really needs to come back now or my windmill palm is gonna get wrecked. PSNH had 34% out at the max. Down to 29% out at 7pm. Going to take several days. I am sure they are trying to get the main lines working first and then the secondary and rural areas. The Palm may have some problems!

powderfreak Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 Nice blocked flow for Eyewall this morning. BTV has the lowest visibilities in the area and radar showing decent echoes in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 Only 0.2" at the house but still very wintery out there. Step outside and it could be mid-January with snow caked to all the trees and a fresh dusting falling Snowing much steadier up at the mountain with around 0.7-0.8" down at the base.

powderfreak Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 Actually been coming down steadily...closing in on 2". A co-worker said he thought 3-4" in Williston though so west side must be doing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 New snow was at 1.0" when I sent my CoCoRaHS report in at 7:00 A.M., but there was 1.8" at 8:00 A.M., so it was falling at just a bit shy of 1"/hr. It had quite the fire hose look, although it's definitely slowing down now and the radar even switched modes: This storm actually pushed the month's snow total past the total for November 2008, making it the snowiest November in my records. Also, this was the 7th accumulating storm of the month for our location, so it's currently tied with last season for tops in that category. It's certainly been a good November for snow.

eekuasepinniW Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Ok 40 hours, no power. I would have thought nothing less than another 1938 would be required to pull that off. is it seriously going to be in the single digits tonight? starting to freak out. if I drop what I'm doing and head for the airport, I could be home no sooner than midnight if I want to spend $730. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I did a little reconnaissance around the area to see if there was power. Looks like it's on in Center Harbor and SW Moultonboro area.

The pipes should be ok, most of the ones along exterior walls have been drained. It's my tropical storage room that I'm starting to worry about. The replacement cost of all the plants I have in there is probably $4-5,000. My dad has one little propane heater that he's been moving from room to room, but he's going to fall asleep eventually.
