Winter Storm Quinn

beach-mom — Mon, 05 Mar 2018 06:48:38 GMT

We lost power Friday afternoon but got it back Saturday. Two roads near us closed with trees and power lines down. Lots of snow/rain. Now I just read that we will have another one starting here Tuesday night.

I know I don't have it as bad as some of you, but I'm REALLY looking forward to spring!

Riley hit us really hard here in Eastern Massachusetts, we had hurricane force winds and I lost power Friday night but got it back Sunday morning. Trees and power lines down and severe flooding, I'm hoping that Quinn blows out to sea.

@beach-mom. I hope your name is not an indication of your geographical location but is more of where you'd like to spend tine. The pictures weve seen of houses that are beach front are not really appealing. I'd just as soon walk a few blocks to the beach.

@Kachina624 - We're not too far away, but we're not right on it. I think most of the damage was north of us. The wind was unbelievable, and the driving Friday afternoon was not fun!

A cold front came through here today. We had 60mph winds but no rain or snow. I wonder if this could be the East's next winter storm? Dust and pollen got all stirred up so I've been sneezing all day.

Those of you in the storm, zone, stay safe!

@JaneMarple- I saw my old hometown of Quincy on the national news the other night- all the flooding and devastation there. It broke my heart to see it.

NWS forecasting 6-12" snow possible for this part of NH. I guess the "New" in New Hampshire stands for "Never Ending Winter".

@beach-mom

A few of the streets around here look like battle zones, we went to dinner Saturday night at a restaurant in the Mameroneck train station, there was a car pinned under a tree, it looked like the car missed much damage but the tree needed to be moved before the car could be assessed

My friend living near Baltimore lost power on Friday morning from falling trees .... none yet (Mon. a.m.) but PG&E promised by Wednesday. I can't imagine this~!

This is March and March is still winter. I think we listen to people in warmer climates talk about planting and 80 degree weather and walking on their balmy beaches and we start to think that March is spring month. But it isn't for 75% of the country. It snowed here in MA this morning and they predict a serious snow storm late Tuesday into Wednesday and it amuses me that people think this is unusual or that spring is late in coming. I hear a news anchor here say that "winter just won't leave" and I laughed out loud. Spring will come in late April or Early May when it always comes.

We went out today. It was the first day our Shop Rite had power. All the other stores in the shopping center are still without power. And Applebee's hasn't had power since Friday.

We are supposed to get more snow on Tuesday night and also more snow on Sunday.

The power company had tree trimming guys come around our neighborhood the past few weeks. Guess that helped us to have power.

I do think we pick it up from the weather people, who have to fill up their air time with seasonal climate and weather chatter, but also from signs in nature. Here in my part of PA tree buds, flower bulbs and birds returning suggested Spring prior to this last nor’easter. Of course I’m old enough to have seen this happen many times before. Have seen it snow up over a foot high in April more than once. I originally come from a farming family and community, so these memories of crop failures and such stick with me.

Still, I'm not looking forward to Quinn in the least. Hate it most of all for those emergency personnel who have to commute and assist in restoring utilities, as well as rescue others.

I hope all here who are in the path remain safe. 🙏

According to the calendar, the first day of spring is March 20. However, here in Ohio we generally don't have much of a spring. We've had snow showers Memorial weekend around here. LOL

We aren't supposed to get much of this latest winter storm and we didn't get much from WS Riley either. They are calling for a wintry mix tomorrow morning and a max of 2" Tuesday night into Wednesday.

We're supposed to get up to 18" here - high winds, flooding, etc. I'm sure we'll lose power again. One of the roads near us is still closed from Riley. I put the down comforter back on the bed and we will cuddle up with the kitties!

Here we go again!

JaneMarple — Wed, 07 Mar 2018 07:07:33 GMT

We're getting rain here on the Cape but further inland is where the heavy snow is going to be.

My sister in Pennsylvania is expecting another foot and she still doesn't have power yet.
