SnowlieSnowstormson Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 We have been without power in Glastonbury, CT for an hour now. I feel like this storm was so close to being a disaster in CT icewise. It doesn’t look too too bad though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The large belt wheel on blower was loose. Bad design. Two small Allen pinch screws hold it onto shaft, but they keep loosening making the wheel turn in a very crooked manner. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk Oof...that stinks. I snowblowed around 8:30AM and it was one of the easier jobs I’ve done in a while. Nothing was sticking to the chute and it was going far. I had to make a small repair before I started to secure the chute controller, but two paper clips did the trick...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Lol I am happy I didn't get into that freezing stuff but man this rain is sick. Now at 3.17, water running out of the hill like a spring freshet. 33.2 still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No kidding about the cold coming. Wind chills near 30 below are dangerous without heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaizzo Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Our temp dropped from 36 and is now 33 in Ansonia CT wind picked up a bit. We are on a hill our trees are all iced over down in the valleys no ice on trees so even the slight incline has helped with ice accumulation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even shoveled standing water. Just shoveled all the slush/pond off the driveway....heard branches snapping in the woods everytime we got a breeze.

H2Otown_WX Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 6.1" depth/6.4" storm total at BDL. 2.1" as sleet. Impressive. Just wanted to say a great storm for ALB. That place has been a snowhole in recent years so it's nice to see them get a good event. Their depth is 13". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those who are wedged will warm up a little bit as the CAA starts cranking and we mix the atmosphere out a bit. But then we plunge right back down fast.

moneypitmike Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 1% of CT is out, 1.5% of Tolland. Temp really climbing here--up to 20*. I didn't think we'd reach the forecast high. We just exceeded it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Precip amounts way overmodelled here. 6” snow before compaction, not a huge amount of sleet...less than 1”. If it wasn’t going to be all snow I’m glad. Suckerhole ftw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 We got to see the ptype soundings at work in this event. We had the relatively rare paint peeler with the warm layer over 5C. But the low levels were so cold that the rain refroze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
