January 2, 2014 Storm Observations

[billski]

About 1" of fluff on the ground, light wind.

Everything is covered in Providence, 1" or a little less. The sections in between lanes and the sides of 95 have snow on them. It's a super fine grain sort of snow, no flakes. I'm going to head from work early, the afternoon commute will be a sh!tshow. RI has no clue how to clear snow. All the town and state guys plow their friends' and families' driveways for extra cash instead of the roadways.

School superintendants are dumb! Let's send the kids in on time, when the roads will be at their "worst" (and I use the term "worst" with a ton of latitude given that any person with an ounce of common sense should be able to operate a vehicle in less than an inch of snow!!), and then when the roads will be clear, and the bulk of the storm not scheduled to hit for hours, they send the kids home early!! WTF! I can totally see cancelling any evening school sports given the forecast, but early dismissal when by all accounts here in CT there will be a good 3 or 4 hours minimum from when the kids usually get home from school to when the brunt of Hercules hits??

Light snow, just under an inch in Canton Ma

 

[Euler]

...l to when the brunt of Hercules hits??

I make a motion that TWC's storm names be banned from this forum. All in favor?

I agree it seems silly but I think the reason is more obvious......teachers and faculty wanted an extended vacation! I know I would have if I was a teacher.

HEAR, HEAR!!

Note to TWC: Know when to say when. You've obviously had too much to drink, and you are embarrassing yourself!

Aye. Yet another reason to not watch any TV weather forecasts, TWC especially. I find the NWS forecast discussion sums it all up just fine, and watching TV just repeats or hyperinflates whatever's there.

1/4 inch dusting with occasional flurries in the Greenwich area. They just announced early closing for schools (agree with drjeff).

 

[madriverjack]

3-4 inches of fluff in albany

 

[WWF-VT]

My observation is that the biggest snow totals look to be in the Boston area/coasal MA vs. in the mountains where it's needed and appreciated

 

[SnowRock]

Started my morning in Laconia NH and there was a solid 2 inches of dry and fine fluff.... Was coming down steadily as we left.

Waterbury now ... More like an inch and coming down at a less impactful rate.

 

[Judder]

6 inches and 6 degrees in the lowlands of Bennington County VT. Steady snow all morning. Radar shows snow confined to a band extending from the VT MA line to up around Burlington. Any reports from Berkshire County? Looks like it's barely been snowing in W Mass...

About 5" in Binghamton, NY. I'm anticipating an "interesting" drive to Platty tomorrow. I plan on leaving early, and taking it slow. Luckily I've had some practice driving on crappy roads in the Tug Hill region of NY this year. Good luck Scotty!

I make a motion that storm names have something to do with snow: Ullr, Sitzmark, Schuss, snowbomb...

 

[billski]

3 1/2"-ish here in Lexington; blower pow. Wind has picked up and temps have dropped considerably. Best news is that it was a cruiser out of Boston at 5pm today.

Anyone planning on skiing Pat's tomorrow? I am heading up there and have an extra voucher. If you are interested shoot me a message.
