striperman36 12-26-2010 09:34 PM

About 6-8 here

BEETLE 12-26-2010 09:57 PM

Weather says its gonna get cold tomorrow when the front spins the wind down and all this wet chits gonna be cement :fury:

Here in Hyannis....4-5 inches of extra heavy wet snow is contracting in the rain...blowing pretty hard though

striperman36 12-26-2010 10:12 PM

No problem.....

BEETLE 12-27-2010 07:38 AM

Rob Rockcrawler 12-27-2010 08:10 AM

Kinda hard to tell what we got here in West Mansfield,the drifts are up to 3' and some lulls about 10" I'd guess we got about 14-17":smash:Got the driveway and trucks all cleaned out.....Now off to work,it's gonna be a late day:wall:

RIROCKHOUND 12-27-2010 08:35 AM

8" or so in So Co. changed to froze rain/rain last night.
Wind woke me up several times. Gusts close to 50.

Beetle, you guys are showing 4ft of storm surge in that area, not including waves. good luck. should stay dry once the wind turns N and then NW

Buoy S of ACK is 27ft, UNH buoy is 22ft and the Bank is 23ft

we got about the same, 14-17" but had mixed precip, no real 3' drifts, the stuff is stiff and heavy. surprised none of the trees came down some are hanging real low.

HESH2 12-27-2010 08:54 AM

southern ct right now maybe 10'' where i'm at but had winds up to 60 mph so snow blew every which way.still snowing hard and hopefully will end early afternoon.roads on interstates and local are all pretty much packed snow and ice because of winds.

Saltheart 12-27-2010 09:14 AM

Seen much worse but definitely significant, we got a lot at my house. I would say the 16 or so reported by SM36 is about the same here but we do have some drifts. Oh well , another winter has really started now.

I strategically aligned the cars in the drivesway so the Blazer can be used if the plow guy is delayed a day or two. He's a good guy but sometimes the conditions make it hard to get everywhere quickly. I tell him now that its only me at home and since I have the Blazer he should just worry about his other people and get me when he can. I'll be out when I want to be , one way or another. The Blazer is as good in the snow as it is on the beach sand , just go the opposite way with the tirepressure and it digs in and goes. I do 16 to 18 PSI on the sand but 42 in the snow, works well.

Heavy gusts as usual do to house location. I'm almost at the top of the hill between Abbot Run Valley and Blackstone Vally. Only 100 feet elevation but the wind really blows allong the two valleys and of course over the top.

We have no snow now but radar shows we are still in the area where bands will come through. I think 18 by the time it all moves out this afternoon. Good news is warm temps at end of week so we should have bare pavement soon. Living in New England , bare pavement in just a few days is pretty good as real storms go.

Saltheart 12-27-2010 10:11 AM

Just got done digging out. That snow is wind packed! Its not wet at all here but its like someone tamped it all down. Thats a solid 15 or so probably be 20 if the wind hadn't packed it down hard.

Raider Ronnie 12-27-2010 10:57 AM

As of 11:00 this morning 23 hrs in my truck.
Snow tapered off but with this wind and the drifts it causes won't be going home for a while.
Tired !

striperman36 12-27-2010 11:27 AM

no power the the impeller. gonna be diggin

Slingah 12-27-2010 11:31 AM

thankfully, we got hardly anything here in Marshfield....

BasicPatrick 12-27-2010 12:25 PM

Monday 12 noon in Hyannis we have less snow on the ground than before the snow....nasty wind but no snow removal needed. I have a truck with two snowblowers and two operators with no work to do....bummer

PRBuzz 12-27-2010 01:11 PM

Channel 7 reporting Brockton got 23"! All I know is that most of the time the snow was at or above the chute opening of my snow blower.

You got wasted Buzz!

It was like light cement. I had adjust my impeller belt, halfway through, Going to get another this week

No fishing this week.

PRBuzz 12-27-2010 02:02 PM

Bottom inch or so was slush and as soon as you removed the top snow, if you didn't scrape the slush it froze solid within minutes. The snow plow banks having had the snow turn upside down were pretty tough to get through, many 3+' high and at least 4' wide at the base.

Glad I got a 10HP, 2 stage blower!

BigFish 12-27-2010 02:10 PM

About 13 inches in Hanover! First 5 inches was snow...then a changeover last night for a couple hours....then another 6 inches on top of the wet slush.........was like a slush sandwich this morning and damn heavy to shovel! My neighbors were having a tough time with it in the snowblowers.......slush was clogging in the chute! We lucked out and had a neighbor with a friend with a plow come by and do most of the driveway!!! Thank goodness! Lost power last night for about 90 minutes so not too bad!!

striperman36 12-27-2010 02:18 PM

I got the mixed precip here in Mansfield to, looked about 1030pm to be over, however, we seemed to have gotten another 6 inches after that.

striperman36 12-27-2010 03:35 PM

Look at that vortex !

Above was GOES-13 taken at 1650Z 12-27-10 or 1150 today.

Geez, see the expanse of snow on the ground from GA. to Canada.

UserRemoved1 12-27-2010 06:15 PM

seen the vortex on the mid day news. Looked like a hurricane!

tattoobob 12-27-2010 06:46 PM

I just don't understand why the news had to be on for over 12 hours
It's not like we never got 10 inches of snow before
