The Nor'easter of January 2011
You heard about it in the news, read about it on the web, now see it for yourself. On Tuesday evening, around 11:00 PM, a "Nor'easter" hit New England. A Nor'easter is the name given to storms that come across the continent and then hit the eastern seaboard, turn north east and go racing up to New England. The storm brings the moist air from the ocean and usually combineds with the cold air coming down out of Canada. Depending on where that front is located, it either brings wind and rain or wind and snow. This time is was snow. When viewing these pictures, just remember that on Tuesday afternoon there was no snow on the walks, driveway and most of the grass. There was a trace of snow left over from the blizzard that hit New England about 10 days ago, but it was soon covered by the 14" of snow that fell over the next 18 hours. Not a good time for the snow blower to quit working.
