Severe Weather ?

Winter storm Olive is expected to deliver waves of freezing rain starting tonight through Friday. Single digit temps after.

Stay safe

 

Fun stuff Mike. I would take snow any day over ice.
Watching news now in Boston and they are talking about it. Headed back home to Connecticut this morning so will miss it.

Be careful out there!

 

Looks like it'll be a bust for CT, but the Midwest is going to get hammered. Usually it's the other way around with all the Nor'Easters we get.

 

We are….

been a while since we’ve had weather this good.

 

Frankie says…

 

3*f with a wind chill of-19 right now @ 9:00 am and this is what is coming

 

Yard pine tree branches bent over. No reports of any power outage.

 

Well the news said it was going to be so severe

Here 4-6 inches of snow ie no bid deal

 

The wind blew the snow pretty good here. Hard to tell what we had for snowfall overnight. What I am finding shows we got around 15-16” since Tuesday. The drifting closed up the driveway bad enough it was knee deep and long enough the wife wouldn’t have gotten out even with my pickup.


The skidsteer made short work of the drives so I can get even the semi out to go to work if I want to. The neighbor was even willing to let me do his work as well it was that blown in.

I’m really happy I got the snow bucket.
It’s only 72” and I’d have liked to have had a 78” that he said he hasn’t been able to get in over 6 months. Over that, it won’t fit into the dump trailer.

 

Yea

Yeah, they really built it up into something that got blown out of proportion.

These are Minnesota's biggest snowstorms on record, for now


Wacky walz even activated the guard prior to this storm even starting based off the forecast.

Walz activates National Guard, Minn. legislature heads home early due to storm

 

Nothing major here. Not enough ice for any widespread power outages.

 

Final snow fall numbers for the week.

looks like 14-15” of blown white stuff. As it’s settling, even I can walk my fat dadbod across it.

 

Sideways rain and lightning

 

Anyone remember this? Hard to believe it was 30 years ago now. I remember playing in the melting snowbanks weeks later wearing shorts and a t-shirt, trees in full leaf.
Remembering the Blizzard of 1993

 

Yes I do. that was the year I was working third shift and taking computer clasees at the community center 30 miles away. That was a tough winter as the Ex was in Maine for his job most of it. I shoveled, and shoveled and shoveled since we didn't have a snowblower. That may be the storm that he drove back from Maine just to plow. We had something like 5 storms very close together that were 24-32" each. Good thing I was younger back then!

 

I was living in a raised ranch so 4 feet of stairs up.. could not open storm doors out.. I learned why covered porches with doors that open in a intelligent in da north… hey I was a college student.. read educated idiots

 

And TheCloudboy is calling for 16-24" in some areas. I'm right at the line for that. Local TV station is calling for 12-18". The difference in forecasts may be totally dependent on moisture level of the snow they are expecting. A nice dry fluffy snow would be fine. But that is unlikely as the temps are supposed to hover around 30*.

 

Due to winter storm Sage, we'll have heavy, wet, snow starting tonight as rain, changing to snow. We could get up to a foot when it's done on Wednesday. Wind gusts up to 60mph. Power outages probable.

This should be our 1st snow storm <6in.

 

Well, cloudboy has added in some 24-36" areas, not for mine, the upper elevations by Peterborough. WMUR (second pic) started saying last night that I'm in the 18"+ area



All I know is I already had about 5" at 2am and the roof has been dumping for about an hour (woke me up). Shoveled the ramp out back about 1/2 an hour ago. This is not going to be fun to clean up as the temp is still 34* and the ground is not frozen hard. But, with the snow pack modulating temps at ground level, It is trying to freeze to the ramp.

 

Several hours of heavy rains here.

Change to sleet/ice around 9am, for several hours. Increasing winds.

Then snow overnight, tonight. 6-8 inches forecasted. 50+mph gusts possible.
