The Blizzard of 2015

Guessing we have about 2 ft here in Marshfield and still coming......

Hard to believe we haven't lost power, hasn't even flickered.....usually in many parts of Marshfield losing power always is an issue. Maybe they have been doing better tree trimming.

They predicted 2-3 feet here but if we ended up with a whole 6" I would be surprised (hard to tell with drifting but I would say maybe 4" total on top of the 4" from Saturday) I do love snow but would rather it in VT than here even still. Either way I still cant help but feel let down that EVERYTHING was over-hyped for our area and closed for nothing! Forecasters really blew it for my area! What a waste too that last night between 9-10 P.M. the plows went through (yes with blades down) 8 times in one hour and we barely had an inch at that point! Even considering the fact that they did each side of the road once that's still 4 plows, both directions in a hour...no clue what they were plowing at that point. Completely "over-hyped" and as a result a huge waste of resources.

yeah, come to my house. 30" +. 5 foot drifts. I plowed all day yesterday.

Not the blizzard of 78 but a top 10 storm.

Wasn't trying to downplay it in general. I know folks to the east a south of her got hammered. Just couldn't believe that most of W. mass had been forcast for anywhere from 1-3 feet and it was nowhere near that (here). I know it's hard to predict exact amounts and storm path but just making a comment that I was shocked at how far off they were...again, for my area.

3+ hours behind a snow blower back to back days trying to find the cars we knew were parked in the driveway, down by the beach in Plymouth MA was snow drift city. No power for a day either, but getting away from deflate gate was a nice change of pace.

No problem Jenn. I think the way the storm setup had a lot to do with you guys to the West escaping the brunt of the storm. I glad we didn't loose power.
