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.

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.

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!!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

It's not like we never got 10 inches of snow before

alot of people are travelling for the holiday. This storm came a t a bad time for the holidays and people needed to plan. We have a bunch of plans with family and friends that had to be cancelled. I think we got close to 20" in mansfield, as others reported, heavily packed drifts. As of this morning, the roads where still awful. |
