Post Blizzard Coordination Message #1 – February 9th-10th, 2013 Blizzard Event
Hello to all..
..The following is the first of what will likely be at least two Post-Blizzard Coorination Messages regarding impacts to the region..
..A widespread 12-30″ snowfall with isolated higher amounts affected much of the region with the exception of Cape Cod and the Islands where a 6-16″ snowfall fell. The combination of damaging to hurricane force winds and heavy wet snowfall resulted in widespread power outages across the Southern half of Rhode Island and Southeast Massachusetts including Cape Cod and the Islands where at the height of the storm close to 412,000 without power in Massachusetts and approximately 170,000 were without power in Rhode Island. Widespread tree and power line damage occurred..
..Coastal Flooding made moderate status on Friday Evening and moderate to major status Saturday Morning with the hardest hit area being in the Hull to Scituate area, up towards the Salisbury area of the North Shore and down toward the Sandwich, Mass area..
..Pictures of damage, coastal flooding and structural damage at the coast remains helpful for damage assessment even if its given several days after the fact if you’ve lost power. Pictures can be sent as reply to this message or to pics@nsradio.org and credit will be given to the spotter for the pictures unless otherwise noted..
..A weaker/warmer storm system will affect the region today and a storm coordination message has been sent to cover that threat. Below are the post storm reports and the storm coordination message posted yesterday. A complete wx1box log of reports will be posted in the next post-blizzard coordination message..
