Ha Expand An axis from Ginxy to you to Scooter is by far the most impressive part of this storm to me at this point. That's truly awesome that the Advisory level snows made it that far southeast. This was bigger than October 2011 for you right? I think the period of return from IJD to TAN to BOS line has got to be pretty large. Once in a lifetime type stuff? Who knows these days though.

Expand I think we got like 1-2” of slop at the end of the 2011 event, this blows that out of the water as bob said. Just a hair under 5” here, which I would say is historic, and probably a once in a lifetime return rate. Hell, this would be up there if it happened in November too. Not to use to much hyperbole, but this is definitely a memorable event for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Not sure what the towns are doing around here, but we are a private street so we pay an HOA for plowing, and the guy just came and sanded and salted.
