2/1 - 2/2 Storm Discussion Thread

[andyaxa]

We're about 5 miles north of the MA border in Rindge, NH...looks like we had about 5-6 yesterday and 6-8 today. I'd guess around a foot total. We had an ever-so-brief bit of very light wet granular sort of stuff around 11am did nothing to the snow surface. I'd guess all of the hills/mtns in NH escaped the crusting.

12-14 inches on Burke mountain made for an awesome pow riding day.

Still dumping on Burke. Weatherman says we should get another 6 inches...

Good for you. I guess it dropped off to the south. Lincoln to Cannon only got about 6-8. It was very windy at Cannon so coverage ranged from 'down to the scrapies' to mid thigh drifts. Lots off goodness in the trees.

About 4-6 yesterday in Middlebury. Another 9 or so today and more coming. Next storm is Saturday-Sunday and again on Tuesday!

 

[deadheadskier]

I'd say we got 10 inches on the seacoast. 5 and 5 between the two days.

why on earth did everything shut down today? I thought the roads were much worse yesterday personally

Thanks for the update

Still puking up here in NNY along the Canadian border has been all day long -- Just plowed for the third time today i'd guess it at 15 inches so far and still puking

Yeah, it was pretty good out there today :beer:

I never thought I'd say this, but I'm getting used to having a weekly dump. It's simply white everywhere I look. the hard part is figuring out where to put this stuff. Looking forward to heading north to put this snow to good use.

The only downside is that the local drivers seem to have gotten used to it too. But they still think they can drive like man men/woman disregarding safety and laws on their almost-bald all-season tires. I'm expecting to see a lot of car-bangers this week.

Like this?

Seriously? What is propping that up behind it?

Western NY suffered. The "storm of the century" amounted to 2 inches of snow and an inch of sleet. Wrap around snows have brought another three inches of very nice 30:1 type fluff. This pales compared to the "predicted" 10-20 inches by now. Sad. Every little bit helps though and it didn't niar.

Just saw video of it on tv. Nothing is holding it up, just landed that way.

I can't imagine how scary that must have been for the driver...

How the hell did they get out and then close the door without knocking it over?

I prefer a daily dump!

Take that to mean whatever you want.

I'm saying about a 10-12 inches altogether here in Putney. NWS has a trained measurer in Woodford, just a few miles down the ridge from Mt. Snow and Woodford reports 22" total since this began yesterday. Down here in Putney the snow changed to sleety stuff from about 11-1PM and now precip has completely stopped. Some test steps into the yard indicate no crust issues, so we still made out pretty good!

No too shabby! I wonder how much the mountain ended up with? The usually get a bit more.

Woodford always gets pounded. Those guys have a great microclimate for snowfall over there.

I appreciate the update Euler. I know that in addition to my Friday night, get to VT "Grab beer, start fire" routine, I'll be adding "Shovel deck".

This stuff was nasty down here in CT. We didn't end up with much snow, so the driveway was ice when I got home...close an inche because the freezing rain soaked the sleet that had frozen. I had to break it up with a shovel, then snowblow all the chunks. I would have rather had a foot of snow.

We remained mostly a wet sleet. Luckily the snow blower got underneath it. I had clearing sleet.

That was the tough part...it was pretty darn solid. Had to be chunked up before I could use the blower. But at least I had the blower. Heaving all that ice would have been a chore.
