12/19 - 12/20 Storm Discussion Thread

[Beetlenut]

Whiteout in Wakefield,RI. About 4 inches so far.

 

[wa-loaf]

Actually the tv news has bumped the totals up a bit. We moved into the ~12" range from 10 earlier in the evening.

makes sense: slows, sticks around longer...

I wanna see some LIBC pics.....I remember a sand quarry in Port Jeff that might ski pretty good...

 

[long island boarder]

woke up to 24" eastern Long Island

 

[RootDKJ]

10" here in NJ with drifts up to 4"

 

[Greg]

Looks like a whopping 4". Get read for it:

B-U-S-T

At least for my area..... :roll:

Watching NECN background via MattNoyes.net this morning.... the weather guys were on the air and you could almost feel them pulling for more snow so their forecast was not a complete bust! :lol: Which is funny because most folks watching would not want more snow and these guys essentially said flat out "I hope we pick up some more here..." or something along those lines. Usually they don't pull for snow that hard on the air. :lol: Looks like RI is going to take it for New England.

Nothing here in poughkeepsie/hyde park ...thinkin nothin in catskills

 

[billski]

Mt. Southington CT is reporting 26-36" - must be a feed reporting error.
If that's true, Sundown is gonna be rockin'.
Sundown has not reported yet. - suspect the 4" Greg reports is closer to reality...


edit: looks like they pasted in their snow depths into the new snow field. oops

Of course it's PC and acceptable to wish for a "White Christmas", as long as they take it all back day after. :-?

I guess you can be a bit more cavalier on a Sunday Morning where there is no work commute.

There is an amazing difference between 2-3 inches and 2-3 feet. :lol:

 

[skidbump]

Just spoke to people at belleayre...nothing

looks like they swapped the base amounts with new snow amounts. 26-36 was yesterday's base.
Gonna be some disappointed people if they take the number at face value!

 

[nelsapbm]

Am very jealous. We're getting nothing out of this one. Oh well. The winter is still young.

 

[riverc0il]

A complete and total waste if not even the CT boys get much snow out of the storm. IT would at least be cool for them if they get a foot. But more than a foot in RI through the cape? Lame.

8 AM report

Reporting at 8AM sir, from hysterial Lexington.

5" pow on the ground.

Steadily accumulating at roughly 1" per hour since 5AM.
Walked around a bit, does pack down with foot traffic. Dog's got snow clogged in between her pads.

I'll post pictures with the Lexington Ruler after a reboot, my USBs all disappeared!

I was going to say this could be real. I just measured the snow on my deck and it's 24" deep. NOT a snow drift either. I'm in Essex CT just 4 miles from the coast though. Unbelievable even more snow here than the '78 blizzard.

I'm so pissed I left all my snow shoes, cross country skis, downhill skis at our place at Mount Snow.

i would guess at least 1.5 feet here in coventry RI. drifts 3-4 feet. still snowing hard. love it.
