RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Would be nice to have a big lake to our immediate west. There'd be cream in many posters pants during times like these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Miser Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Where to begin.... How long till most of it melts away with ratios as noted by Will? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I dunno how you clear the driveway. I guess maybe wait til it compacts then start chipping away top to bottom with a shovel first, then blower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Paul Gordon Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 As much as I love snow, those pictures are a little terrifying. Imagine if a widespread--nor'easter type--event did something like this in the I 95 corridor? Imagine it was followed by a severe and really long lasting arctic outbreak? It would be one of the great disasters of all time. I wouldn't mind seeing a couple--even three--feet laid down in a three day storm. But what's happening out of this LES event on a widerspread basis would be impossible. I wonder how they are going to dig out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're trying to pinch off a drip down south just thinking about the possibility of directly experiencing it. We all are. If you're not, I question your presence here. Now get out of my office, and fix your skirt. You're a mess, Cheryl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 How long till most of it melts away with ratios as noted by Will? The ratios in the current event are not as high as other LES events that I noted...these are closer to 20 to 1 or even slightly lower. It won't melt as fast as a 30 to 1 or 40 to 1 fluff event.

Lots of hot cocoa and netflix....the snow hounds would get through it. It's the clueless who would be in danger and losing a few clueless people in the process isn't a terrible outcome.

weathafella Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I wouldn't care if it melted quickly. I'm not a pack fetish guy...my best winter would be multiple large events with pack wipeout in between (well ok I'll take the pack but it's not critical to me). Experiencing this would be well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapturedNature Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 Where to begin.... If I was expecting the numbers that they are expecting I would have at least cleared a path every few hours. Even in drifting situations I've found that after a while it forms a natural barrier and you still have a semi clear path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Ray be snorkeling to get out to take pics BTW, some of the pics here at work are blocked, so I couldn't see some of the more extreme footage until I logged on with my cell phone eafter you and scooter b*tch slapped me Certainly epic. The only footage that I can compare it to is something out of New Foundland, or at high altitudes out west, but to have that in a polulated area near sea level is something out of a movie. I'm tempted to fly out there before round two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tippy has written up some great winter disaster scenarios in the past. I'll go back and look for some when I have a chance you know, Blizzard ice storm blizzard type stuff.

Looking at Jeep Wranglers 4X4 for just that scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Jan 11 I did not and had trouble opening the door in the am, vowed to never get in that situation again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm tempted to fly out there before round two. Sapporo Japan has snow depths like that fairly frequently. They average like 250 inches of snow per year. Population there is about 2 million people. They have some pretty cool machinery to handle it. It's hard for us to envision that type of snow where a lot of people live until we see something like it closer to home.

Even with a blower it can take some time to clear so I just do it every few hours. It's also good to have doorways open because you never know if there is going to be some kind of emergency.

I snowplow paths all over the yards so they can do their thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Speaking of which, Logan is testing out some nice snow removal equipment and was awarded as one of the top airports for snow removal in the country over the past several years. Basically, it means they know how to get the job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
