Blizzard prep

All gassed, greased and new battery, ready for nasty storm tomorrow. 18"+/- of heavy wet snow, astronomical high tide with up to hurricane force winds and 12" of ice in the harbors. Not a nice beach day, not uncommon to lose some high end waterfront houses into the ocean with a storm like this. Power outages and coldest weather of the year so far is not a good combination. We usually get 2 or 3 of these a year, they are even predicting thunder snow.

Dang hope it has a heater!

The weather can get really weird around here,  1/2 hour N or W will get lite fluffy snow, 1/2 hour S or E will get more rain while we get 3" of slush that freezes then more snow on top. Cape Cod sticks out into the ocean and benefits from the warmer water, further inland will usually get less wind and moisture but colder. It's usually a " I'll look out the window and tell you what happened tomorrow " situation though. 

The 12th for me , my father will be 88 on the 8th and sometimes I think he gets around better than me. 

Don Kent was around for ever, if you took his forecast and did a 180° he was dead on. 

Bring it, lol

It's a start, could be a long winter. I just hope I still have power at this time tomorrow. 

They have to come up with a scarier name every year, raining here at 9:11 am.

Changed over to all snow now.
