Yo the ice and snow are "firing" now here! I was gonna go get neoprene cement, but its so nice indoors.
Ended up going out for the cement. The roads are deteriorating and we have to be getting an inch per hour now.
power flashed out for about 20 seconds and then came back... Please don't go out power, please dont go out!
micah - how is swell able to make it past these 30 mph w winds to us without being blown out? is it from a large enough fetch from the north? or is the west wind localized over our area? i haven't been looking at any weather maps/models, towit im being lazy/genuinely curious. I know this low is north east of us but the roomies and i are debating how and why we are able to get swell without it being blown flat.
ya, I'd say, the storm strengthened, where as you almost have a closed circulation - like a hurricane. Where even tho is is howling offshore, enough N/NE fetch developed from the north. Really challenging to predict how much will make it into the swell window.
Man this wet snow sucks to shovel compared to powder. I just took a hot shower and ate some Advils. I know one thing, I'll sleep tonight.
Boss Man Called I gotta work tomorrow . Oh well guess I will suck it up and go in for Thursday and Friday. I have a 3 day weekend even though there doesnt look like any waves for the weekend
ya, what is no good for me, my shovel broke on me! and apparently, you cant buy a shovel anywhere in the mid atlantic right now.
Damn I have an extra one I'd lend ya. Now I'm worried about the sagging tree limbs in my backyard. Hopefully the branches aren't dried out.
as long as the power doesn't go out, I'm good. I'm sure some kind neighbor will lend me a shovel. But, ya, this snow is so heavy, with all the ice and freezing rain mixed in.
Yea... and it looks like the swells are getting smaller with each storm. This one's gonna be even smaller than the last. Maybe a longboard wave...
