OSUmetstud Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I went over to the Municipal Building across the street...took an average of three measurements...got 18" on the ground. There was about an inch before the storm...so 17" on the ground from the storm...probably 18" fallen in more official 6 hour measurements. The coastal front passage was very evident...about 13" of mashed potatoes with 5" of fluffy snow on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Kev, you has TSSN right?? Yes only 2 claps that I heard close..and 1 distant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 What's your total. I think 13.3 will do it. I have no clue but it looks to be around 14-15 purely eyeballing lawns in the hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUmetstud Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 The latest PNS takes off the 19.2" that was reported in North Cumberland, RI at 11am...which seemed at least a few inches high to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiley1 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I live on Samoset avenue...Coburn is right at the corner..that is amazing...We have been here for 5 years and thankfully we have never faced a situation like that...Remember the Blizzard of 78 well..My sister lived up off Atlantic Hill in Hull and she had to be evacuated due to no heat and burst pipes...amazing...Though I am really concerned that we keep getting these Blizzards..our time may run out if we get one like one in 78...History has a funny way of repeating its self! Thanks Craig http://www.northeastweathereye.com Hull Mass The true benchmark for all northeastern blizzards was in 1978 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Miser Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 How much did ya get, I am a little conservative I think, the table tops threw me off but my total is 21 I was up to 28! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC48 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 WCVB channel 5 is a little behind on the latest snowfall numbers. Some of the numbers they just showed were a few hours old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC48 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 The true benchmark for all northeastern blizzards was in 1978 It's tough to beat 30-40" of snow in the heart of our Boston and Providence viewing area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahk_webstah Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Eventful 3 days. Went to bed at 2 after throwing a nutty on the board in the hour prior over bl temps. I saw 12/30/00 and had the noose fit and tightened.......actually stated I'd move to FL if this turned to rain.... Walk up after at most 2.5-3 hours sleep to whiteout conds. Hours later did a 5 mile dog walk in the woods where I sent one post. Then shoveled for like 2 hours. Clearing the plow stuff is a pita. But when all was said and done....I looked in the mirror and said....not bad for a guy in his mid 60s. No sleep, heavy snow walk of 5 miles including climbing small hills, shoveling....not too shabby for 64. So I'll say it again... Long.....live.....winter!!!!!!!!!! Long....live....Jerry!!!

Ginx snewx Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I was up to 28! Om my! Yea when I took a cruise, seemed at that time there was some heaviier stuff by exit 87, congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OKpowdah Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Will this be known and refered to as the Blizzard of 2011? Bliz conditions reached in Boston and I imagine a few other locations, but otherwise winds were not necessarily a huge story within the heavy snow shield.

weathafella Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Did this storm reach Blizzard Criteria anywhere? Boston did officially. Incidentally while this is technically less snow vs 12/26, it had a much higher impact due to the plethora of trees and limbs damaged from the weight of the snow and the cement of a 12-17 in the immediate Boston area.

Mr Torchey Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Amazing site tonight after a long day of snow removal. Looking out over the backyard and down the street, driving through town late today, it was if I was transported to some remote ski village tucked high in the Rocky Mountains, enormous piles of snow everywhere, two lane roads, now one, since there is nowhere to put the snow. Its magical, this is not the coastal ct that I know. Memories of 95-96 dance in my head, hopefully a nice 1-3 inch event this weekend, but for now, a nice single malt, fire and glance out at the dendritically delicious landscape, with flakes still cascading down from the heavens.
