After the snow...

This was one of the fastest accumulations i have ever seen in my life.
The day was relaxed and some hectic moments coming near the end.
I will certainly write about that, but more on the storm for now.



This storm dropped amazing amounts of snow for its brief visit.
In only a short amount of time spanning 5-6 hours many places accumulated over a foot of snow.
For those along the east coast, it came to be a luckily chance that the storm did not come during another time.
An example of what would have happened if it did became present in Washington D.C. where drivers became trapped on the George Washington expressway. Snow there came down fast and hard trapping panicked drivers. This situation could have occurred across the east coast. Fortunately it did not hit during rush hour.

It happened to be that the bombing out of this storm was very intense that thunder snow and rates of 3'' per hour were experienced across the board. Winds were blustery which actually helped allow the accumulation on tree branches stay to a minimum. Though it was very minimal, snow accumulation on tree branches was heavy. Causing power outages when the branches could hold no more. Another surface other than branches that had heavy snow accumulation would be the roads. The roads were very dangerous today and remain so.

Today was a wild day for me. After going on a walk me and others came upon a hill where cars had repeatedly got stuck. At one moment we were helping one man get out when another two cars became stuck. We then moved on to help them when another good citizen came by with a SUV to tow out the stranded motorist. That motorist did not get up until the rope that was towing him snapped three times. The funny moments were when there were three different cars stuck out once and a line of other cars who definitely did not have four wheel drive were waiting to go up the hill. What were these people thinking! When three cars are stuck what makes you think you want to go up that hill! "OOOh, i want to get shoveled out first, let me get stuck, let me get stuck!". Nooo, dont do that, just turn around! well lets hope that they decided to turn around.

Not to be the bringer of bad news, but more snow is expected through the week and beyond....
