The Great Blizzard of 2013 One Year Later

Radar during the storm when an intense snow band dropped up to 3 inches an hours of snow, including some hail and thunder snow! 

Total snowfall from the blizzard mapped by NWS Boston, south central CT (where I live) was the bullseye (dark purple) with over 30 inches of snow! 

My driveway on the morning of February 9th 2013! 

The satellite image of the powerful storm as it moved away from the coast. It looks almost like a hurricane! 

Blizzard 2013!! Nemo hit hard in Milford, CT

Even though Boston was suppose to be hit the hardest in last week's blizzard, south central CT was surprised to become the bullseye of the storm!  An official report of 38 inches of snow in my hometown of Milford, CT! and even more just north of us in Hamden, CT of 40 inches (We even made ABC News and we're at the top of the list!)!  Although the snow on the ground matches that of the snowy January of 2011, it didn't come in one night like this blizzard! Like storms of the past I got my camera out and took some amazing photos of the show! Check them out at WxEdge:

Snowed In and Loving it: Blizzard of 2013 

It's day 3 and we have yet to see a plow come up our street!!  So yesterday (Sunday) afternoon the neighbors banned together to make a path in the street.  They used snow blowers and shovels to make their way to the main road off the development!  I took some photos of this in between helping and also wrote an article on WxEdge!  

Who Needs a Plow When You Got Neighbors!

I still can't believe the amount of snow we got!  It's being compared to the great Blizzards of 1978 and 1888!!  Storms that I read about throughout my childhood, never really expecting to experience it!  PS there's a possible snow storm for Wednesday night and Saturday night!  This would be insane because roads won't even be plowed till Wednesday and then covered again that night!  Plus kids have been out of school since last Friday and may not go back till this Friday!! Goodbye winter and spring break! 

Crazy Computer Models

These were from the other day showing the Blizzard I'm expecting today here in CT. When these came out they were the outliers (which means one of the extreme solutions) but looks like it might come true! They show snow accumulations, which show over two feet!!
