Post Storm Coordination Message #1 – Friday 2/5/16 Major Winter Storm

Hello to all..

..Major Winter Storm Brings a Widespread 6-12″ snowfall with isolated higher amounts across much of Central and Eastern New England. The heavy wet snowfall with some strong wind gusts near 40 MPH and exceeding 40 MPH near the coast caused widespread pockets of tree and power line damage and power outages. In Massachusetts alone, over 80,000 were still without power as of 1130 PM and at the peak of the storm over 100,000 people were without power in that state alone..
..Several hundred reports of wet snow damage and snowfall reports were handled over a 16 hour period via SKYWARN Self-Activation protocols. Anyone with pictures of storm damage can be sent as a reply to this message or to pics@nsradio.org and credit will be given to the spotter for the report unless otherwise indicated and the pictures will be forwarded to Non-Governmental Organizations, Emergency Management and the media in addition to the National Weather Service in Taunton unless otherwise indicated..
..Another post storm coordination message may follow later in the day on Saturday or on Sunday. Below is the NWS Taunton Local Storm Report, Public Information Statement, WX1BOX Storm Log and WX1BOX Facebook Photo Album of Winter Storm Pictures and Damage..
