Hello to all…
..Historic Blizzard slammed Southern New England, particularly Central and Eastern New England, with heavy snowfall, blizzard conditions, minor to moderate coastal flooding at the time of high tide and significant tree and power line damage from the combination of wet snow and damaging winds over Cape Cod and the Islands. At the height of the storm, over 115,000 were without power in Massachusetts with additional outages in Rhode Island and Connecticut..
..An Amateur Radio story will be posted to the ARRL web site and a photo album to the WX1BOX Facebook page within the next day or two. Post storm snowfall, wind damage and coastal flood reports, pictures and videos can be posted as a reply to this message, via our WX1BOX Facebook and Twitter feeds or through the email address pics@nsradio.org with credit given to the spotter for the report unless otherwise indicated..
..We are also interested in any additional spotter reports across our coverage area particularly across the max snowfall zone from Stoughton and Sharon to Whitman to Bridgewater and down through Northern Bristol County Massachusetts from this historic blizzard and in the communities of Ashby, Ayer and Clinton, Massachusetts..
