What's the weather like where you are?

It's stopped snowing this morning but we're expected some freezing rain for the next day or two just to make the roads even more dangerous.

Friday's storm sure did a number on our area. Started as rain, then changed to wet heavy snow. But the bizarre thing is that the snow/rain line was very abrupt. I was at work when the changeover happened and we saw the snow fall for several hours before I decided to scram before the roads were impassible. My house is about 25 miles west of where I work and the first part of the ride home was treacherous. Then, just like that, the snow machine was turned off and the last ten miles were clear and almost dry.

Of course the most impact came from the wind which brought down trees and branches and knocked out power to over 100k people just in our area. My son was one of them so he packed up his pregnant wife and their (almost) 3-year-old boy and the dog and came to our place for the day. They didn't get power back until 9:00 p.m. last night and there are still 50k+ still without power. They are giving an estimate of Wednesday by 11:00 for most people to get their power restored.
 
I'm seeing grumblings of another maybe goodly storm for Tuesday night/Wednesday. Since I never really did shovel my driveway all the way (waiting for it to melt) I may have to keep an eye on that and get busy tomorrow.

Mercy! That sounds like a real mess for sure. Stay safe.
 
It was no big deal for us. Our house was in the "no snow" zone and we never lost power so it's just playing some "pickup sticks" in the yard and putting the neighbors plastic deck furniture back in their own yard. :rolleyes:

Same here, but they say this one will be less wind but more snow. We shall see. BTW, why is the coming storm "Quinn" but the one just passed was "Riley"? Doesn't "R" usually come after "Q"??
 
The weird thing about Nor'easters is that they can happen in the Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall. It's part of what makes Boston weather so interesting.

I'm not sure I'm liking this tornado trend developing over the last couple of decades though. We never used to get tornadoes...

They call them microbursts but if you've ever experienced one it's hard to tell the difference.
 
Yeah, in the fall we had a tornado, for the first time since early 1900s
