WEATHER WORLD
We’re used to high winds down here in the southern Great Plains. Yeah, it can be annoying when it gets above 30 mph and blows ...
Five years ago today, insult was added to the grave injuries already inflicted upon Picher, Okla.
An EF-4 tornado slammed ...
It’s apparently Tornado Week at the Weather Channel. The only reason I know that is because there are a handful of Weather ...

Imagine what 40 inches would be. That's a meter. One meter of snow has fallen with the massive snowstorm that is still impacting New England.
You know it's bad when you're measuring a snowstorm in feet and meters.
I said yesterday how I feel about
calling this storm Nemo, like so many have already done. But here is a link to what
Twitter is saying about Nemo, and it's the perfect place to see up to the minute updates on the Nor'easter monster that has dumped feet on a large portion of the population.
So far, this storm has been the biggest snowstorm in Portland, Maine, history at 31.9 inches. Other totals are, in inches:
- Boston: 24.9
- Hamden, Conn.: 40
- New Haven, Conn.: 34.3
- New York City (Central Park): 11.4
For some perspective, our great, record snow of 2011 dumped 26.1 inches. So, we sort of know what that's like, but a meter of snow from one storm is insane.
Check us out Monday when we'll gather as many photos, records and stats from the storm as we can.
Until then, see this time lapse video from Palmer, Mass.
And here is a shout out (thanks
Reddit) to our friend in OKC who doesn't have time for things,
Sweet Brown.
Amen.
