Ginx snewx Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Some more, all from six inches of snow, can not imagine what twenty would look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineJayhawk Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Here's a couple snow ruined shots that the wind destroyed I could sit here all day long looking at these snow piles at the sides of your driveway. I might even make a shirt out of this pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 Steve, those are crazy! Nothing like that around here that I saw. Very mundane for the most part. How did the loader get those huge piles from 6"? Did your tower record any good winds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpickett79 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 This is a pretty cool map. The BOX number should be a "1" and not a 2 but is shows perfectly the heavier finger of snow that shoots off towards me E from BOX. http://www.boston.co.../?p1=News_links interesting kinda show's how W bristol county ( south raynham and SE taunton) and W plymouth county got F'd from 12am-5am) i thought my friend in bridgewater/ by raynahm line didn't change over......hmmm maybe he did after midnite.....is it wrong that this would actually tick me off right now? can't they hold a F'n coastal front for christ's sake. then my old house in N. raynham a mile or so west seemed to have scored over a foot closer to 14 when i drove by so i wish i could get data on wether the R/S line did in bristol plymouth county's between 8pm and 4 am sunday weehours.

If you look at the strict ASOS reports, KTAN never changed over. I am sure there was -RA in there but it was likely not much, maybe 20-30min. There was a couple hours of what I thought was sleet strictly based on the sound of it but from what Dendrite was saying, it was likely heavily rimed snow. If I had to guess I was right along the CF but never on one side or the other for very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a beauty... looks like a wave frozen in mid-crash... Or frosting on a gingerbread house. Been a while since I had anything close to that. Did she take it?

Damage In Tolland Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 In between daughter puking 3x in last 2 hours...I got to sneak out for a quick 3.5 mile run.. I know where all the snow from my front lawn blew to. The drift on the side of my house is 33 inches deep. Not bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ma blizzard Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 neighbors yard has grass and mulch showing , while there is a ~3 ft drift against the side of the house. Most impressive drifts here since 4/97 where there was a 5-6 ft drift blocking the garage door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I love drifts. Wind makes everything so much more impressive. Who cares if it means 12" instead of 14 or 15". Disagree, but to each their own...I guess we live in the right places, then. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winchester did not get 24.5".....Taunton did not get 27"....'cmon....BS. I also suspect Peabody and E Boston maybe a tad high, but not as blatant as the others.

That's not totals from BOX...its the NOHRSC snow depth map...we've posted it many times before. It can often over estimate snow depth directly after a storm, but usually gets better a few days later.

I also suspec Peabody and E Boston maybe a tad high, but not as bltatant as the others. agree however this is snow depth and at my friends in bridgewater (5 miles from KTAN) they did have 3 plus inches on saturday prior to storm. so i think winchester is about 8 high taunton 7 high and so on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
