Reply to comment by SRTie4k in First Snow Map For The Tuesday/Wednesday Nor'Easter by TheCloudBoy

Good point, but if you guys get 12+ of wet heavy snow all bets are off. NWS was really pushing this in there morning discussion.

“Snow is expected to be wet, heavy and dense with a significant snow load factor that will greatly increase the risk for snow damage as totals exceed 4 or more inches. Factor that in with strong NE winds developing later Tuesday morning to especially Tuesday night, the potential for tree and powerline damage will prove a significant hazard, reflected in the Winter Storm Severity Index.”

We've gotten 12+ inches of wet heavy snow a few times already. In Dublin I got 14 inches of cement on January 22.

Like I said, we've gotten enough heavy wet stuff and high winds in the past few months that I doubt there will be significant power issues. My generator is ready in case I'm wrong, though.
