New England Blizzard of '09 - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

Swamp56 · 19th Dec 2009, 11:36 PM

Right now a rather big Nor'easter (storm coming up the Northeast Coast) is battering Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts.

I thought a thread dedicated to posting photos of it as it transcends into a blizzard, and then the aftermath would be cool.

Right now the storm is about 1/8 of the way done for me. We have about 5 inches right now. I'm attaching a pic of our backyard (it's 2:36am so it's a bit dark). I'm at my mom's house in Metro-west Boston.

The total for my area is *supposed* to be 10-15 inches. Not the biggest storm, but still pretty large.

I'll add another pic in the morning when visibility is better.

Oh, here's a map of New England's charted accumulation:

For those who use CM:

2-4inches = 5-10cm
4-7inches = 10-18cm
7-10inches = 18-25.5cm
10-15inches = 25.5-38cm
15-20inches = 38-51cm

Two days ago in Hartford, CT (near where my university is), we had a wind chill of 5F >_> .

The snow is ridiculous here... I woke up to shovel, and now i'm going to freakin work, because they decided they'd have customers today. Its bullshit.

**Filip** · 20th Dec 2009, 09:40 AM

Wow, that's impressive.

Even an ocean away, the snow is pretty bad. I'm knee-deep in snow, and basically locked in, because no one here knows how to handle these amounts of snow anymore and the roads are all blocked...
I don't think I ever saw anything like it happen here.

Shevanel · 20th Dec 2009, 09:43 AM

Yeah its knee deep here too, but no one cares apparently. xD I'll try to take pictures if I can. My car was freakin buried though because of the drift, and I had to get it out completely because Sears thinks we'll have customers.

Yey Snow

I wish it had snowed more here to be honest.
In Boston a few days ago the wind chill made it feel like -9F.

Puts our 6 inches to shame for sure.
