lol did you see Bos final official. 24.6 I literally burst out laughing on the highway when listening to WBZ radio.

. Nice, it was probably closer to 30"

just so ironic, where's your 24.6 the Euro promised you over that ten day period which by the way ends Saturday. Sh it you will probably have 30 total in that period

[TalcottWx]

god cities suck

I can't imagine living in the middle of nowhere. Would suck. Andover is boring enough.

So many times we get to this point and just decrease the pack, let's take it to the next level... I want 40+otg

I kid. I want Boston to be totally clogged with epic amounts of snow. Let's keep the cold and it will happen

It amazes me that from ACK to LWM pretty much epic snowfall fell. It's a real burial here at the apartment too.

. I know I'm not complaining. I think I'm already at 30" since Saturday's snows.

The day-after:

Since this was the largest ever snowstorm of Worcester of all time, I let go of my laziness and took out my DSLR to get some photos of my neighborhood. Unfortunately I was a day too late and much of the snow has been plowed. But in any case here they are:

Amazing how quickly this is getting cleared. Very light snow compared to 4/1/97 or 2/6/78

My cousin posted this on social media from North Woodstock, CT. That local place always reminds me of Vermont. Rolling hills, dairy farms....awesome seeing them get clobbered. I spent every summer of my life at that lake, till I was 19. Worked in Southbridge, haha, interesting place, but always loved visiting after a huge snowstorm. Photo from 800ft elv.

I'm right on the N Woodstock border, we got lucky with that heavy overnight band, most of the snow fell in 4-5 hours. I'll try and get my pics up later, my 3 foot fence is buried.

My daughter said her horses love the snow, weenies. Voluntown CT

[dryslot]

. This was no blizz 78

 

It was better then that here, Nemo was better then 78, And Juno was better then Nemo, 1978 was more of a SNE blizzard

[dryslot]

Does anyone know if there is a site to get a time lapse radar loop that you can archive?

[snowman21]

They were trucking snow out of taunton yesterday

They do that here too. Even the big piles in municipal parking lots are hauled away with a day or two. They don't use melters to get rid of it, as I've discovered they dump it all on the beach. Hopefully it's environmentally friendly.

[HoarfrostHubb]

. This was no blizz 78

Of course. But with the totals higher than '78 in many places, those who did not experience that storm might think they were similar

[Damage In Tolland]

lol at trucking out snow. A novel way for DPW 's to get their guys extra work in the winter. Then get money for it from govt. Instead get the side blades and push back the snow as they plow their routes. Cities blow

[ORH_wxman]

Feb 2013 was a dry snow in ORH too, but it was compacted into almost like a dry cement....this one was fluffier. Definitely less liquid equivalent than Feb '13 despite 6" more snow. The compaction/settle rate will definitely be pretty high in this one.

 

Though there was 6-7" of ice-locked paste on the ground prior to this one whereas Feb 2013 only had about an inch or two of horribly sublimated sugar on the ground prior.

[HoarfrostHubb]

Ice locked paste? From Saturday? Here it was pretty dry on top of 2" of ice

Well the final 1-2" was dry, but the first 4-5" was higher water content and we had some freezing drizzle for a while on top of it...just locked it in.

Could anyone let me know how this storm was different from 78? I was not even alive back then, lol.

[HoarfrostHubb]

1978 had higher totals in some areas. Much denser snow. Longer duration

Much greater coastal impact. Caught a lot of people off guard. Higher winds I believe and for longer times. Some reports in SE Mass and RI had 44-52", but those are not always believed

Travel ban for several days. More power outages.
