wxeyeNH Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Not too many people cleaning off their roofs. I have never seen a picture of a residential area having this much snow. Love to see the same picture on Friday AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I don't see how that isn't pretty epic. I mean look at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Epic over a narrow area. But epic nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Nice photos but it's really localized... You can drive 10 minutes ...well, if snowy roads permitted, and you'd be down to almost nothing. I grew up for a while in Kalamazoo Michigan, and I can remember seeing dark gray wall to the SW, and bright white walls in the NE horizons, as the LE bands typically split around the city. We'd be getting nothing; inside those bands were over a foot. The photos for me are not as epic as they may be for some, because these things are so tiny, with major impact for very few compared to regional scales. 6 feet of snow in 24-36 hours east of the Mississippi is pretty damn impressive, no matter how localized it may be though. That's like Sierra ski resort type dump, which even those are impressive and probably impact less people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I don't see how that isn't pretty epic. I mean look at that. Of course it is, for a very small band with of society ...tiny. I think a lot of vicarious living is going on, too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I don't see how that isn't pretty epic. I mean look at that.The dude has lost it. Just fell off his rocking chair for the last time and the rocking chair is rocking all over his head. I've seen countless Interviews today from lifelong Western NY residents who say they have never seen anything remotely like this and it's the most epic thing they have ever seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that what we do, monitor extreme weather events and don't all weather lovers have some desire to experience those phenomena? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTWeatherFreak Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I think best would be to live a mile outside the intense bands, and be able to venture into the area, get my toes wet, without totally drowning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Paul Gordon Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Would love to have five feet fall over a week. Seven days of snow but no more than a foot a day. 15:1 ratio so it sticks around even through the Grinch storm. Anyone want to guess what kind of set up that would take?

Ginx snewx Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Do laugh a little inside when folks say we don't get ocean effect in large numbers. Remember that firehouse retro March storm with the 1800 mile fetch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Well that is kind of distorting the definition of "ocean effect". Opens it up to just about any east coast storm with Atlantic moisture feed...though I get what you are saying Ginxy, but that wouldn't happen without a synoptic storm in place.
