Nemo Dumps More Than Two Feet to Three Feet of Snow –
Already areas in Connecticut have received three feet of snow – two feet in Massachusetts.
The massive storm as killed four people.
Associated Press reported:
A behemoth storm packing hurricane-force wind gusts and blizzard conditions swept through the Northeast overnight, where more than 650,000 homes and businesses in the densely populated region lost power and New Englanders awoke Saturday to more than 2 feet of snow.
More than 34 inches of snow fell in Hamden in central Connecticut, and an 82-mph wind gust was recorded down the coastline in Westport. Areas of southeastern Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire notched at least 2 feet – with more falling. Airlines scratched more than 5,300 flights through Saturday, and the three major airports serving New York City as well as Boston’s Logan Airport closed.
Flooding was also a concern along the coast, and the possibility led to the evacuation of two neighborhoods in Quincy, Mass., said Fire Deputy Gary Smith.
Winds are at hurricane force. The forecast for Friday and Saturday includes winds of 30 to 40 miles an hour, with gusts up to 65 miles an hour.
Nemo has dumped 38 inches in Milford, Connecticut and 32 inches in Gorham, Maine.

If it’s gusts up to 65 mph, winds are NOT at hurricane force. This whleo gabblefest over two feet of snow is overwrought.

Blizzards, tornados, hurricanes, flooding, overcrowding, muggy summers, high taxes, overpriced housing and bedbugs; why do they still live there?

RedBeard commented:
Al Gore will be along shortly, to explain how global warming causes a massive snowfall. I believe the explanation will fall along the lines of, “Because I say so, that’s why.”
RedBeard commented:
Ragspierre: Well done.

Think how deep it would have gotten without obama’s calming effect toning it down. never fear when obama is here!
So shall it be written…… so it shall be done!

When I lived back East, I loved Nor’Easters. Winter is winter and mother nature’s still in charge.
{PS..What’s the story with this “naming” of winter storms? When did that start?}

I believe the Weather Channel started naming the winter storms last fall.

GP regular bg is upset that reports that the snow generated by this storm have identified all of the fallen snow as being white. Obvious racism, bg sniffs.

Thanks for the info.
More silliness, I think.
Now we’re “naming” winter storms?
We had “fog” out here this morning.. guess I’ll name it Wanda.
