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.

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. |
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.

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 ! |
no power the the impeller. gonna be diggin
|
thankfully, we got hardly anything here in Marshfield....
|
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
|
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.

It was like light cement. I had adjust my impeller belt, halfway through, Going to get another this week No fishing this week. |
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! |
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!!

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.
|
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. |
seen the vortex on the mid day news. Looked like a hurricane!
|
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 |
Because Congress is on vacation and Barry is living large on Kaui
And there is absolutely nothing goin on, except for that amazing stuff in Scituate. |
Got about a foot down here in Philly... lotsa shoveling

as the shelf life of a bottle of wine is indefinite. i can't really tell how much snow we really got here because of the winds redistributing it,,, blizzard snow flakes are quite small |
I feel left out, didn't get 1/8" of snow on the water in Plymouth and I had the snow blower ready for some work.

It's New England. It's December. What!! You didn't expect this!.
Come on, I've seen worst storms that were not even forecast. This was a blip on the radar screen. No big deal. Now the Blizzard of 78, that was a storm. 54" of snow in Burrillville. 14 foot drifts. They plowed my road after 4 days with a road grader and a 10 foot V-plow. Plus we had 18" on the ground from a storm 3 days before. |

I was in Lake Placid in 77, 127 continuous hours of snow, April 1st. 48" of snow in the woods near the house. We had school during that storm |

The storm was over-rated. They suck but we have all (mostly) seen far worse. We had 8 or so in Warwick. A bit more in some other locations I've gone too for clients. I do love Rendell's quotes about doing calculus in the head while walking to the game. |
