I am sorry guys but I have seen 20 storms bigger than this where I live.
I'm sure the guys in Worcester an Western MA will agree. Just not that big of a storm.

I agree just haven't seen this much in such a short time frame in a while. The ice storm a couple years ago was far more destructive. But I pulled into my shop to plow Friday night and the snow was over the plow. Spent 4 hours there and it barely looked like I went on Saturday morning. A lot of my snow was drifted snow so that added to my problem. I have never had the 4wd motor get frozen due to it being below the snow. This time it did.

I live in Orange CT about 3 blocks from Milford CT that got 38 inches. I had around the same.
Not a lot of wind, no trees down, no erosion and did not lose power. But 38 f 'in inches of snow? The prior record for 120 years was 28 inches and you beat that by 10 inches? Biggest snow I have ever seen in my 58 years. I went out Friday night in the height of the snow and was like an old movie where the guy is caught in an Alaskan Blizzard. Crazy snow. |

I grew up in Derby, right over the Orange line. How does the snow compare to the bliz of 78? I thought we had over 3 feet then? I was only 9 yrs old so I may be over exagerating. |

We live in the NW corner of RI. Worcester snow belt. Blizzard of 78, 54" of snow with 14' drifts. Drifts up to the gutters on the houses. They used a road grader with a 12' V-plow to open my road.
This was good storm but we have had bigger that they didn't forecast.
