The news has been predicting a bomb nor’easter snowstorm this weekend in NE. Western CT will get ~8”, eastern CT and RI expect 18” and Boston and Cape Cod should top 2 feet. Nothing unusual about snow in New England but for the past several years we’ve gotten away with light snow seasons. The NWS is still adjusting snow predictions. More if the storm wobbles one way or another, or if the storm moves more slowly.
Glad I got my tarps up on Passage in December this year.

Found Hog Day shifted the snow to freezing rain . . . . hmm . . . . whose side is he on??

The nice thing about Ground Hog Day is that it’s ALWAYS Ground Hog Day, or so it seems. Especially in the movies.
Turns out that like May Day, Halloween and the start of Harvest Season (August 1), Grond Hog Day or Candlemas in the Christian tradition is considered a Celtic “Cross Quarter Day”.
Looking at the Gregorian calendar, these days are the midpoint of each season halfway between solstice and equinox. Before long, sunset will be around 6:00pm, and longer days also bring cabin fever!
Can’t wait for a few warmer days (in the 50°s) to get out to the boat to begin launch preps.

Yea but the groundhog said......

Today in NE we’re largely above freezing and the snow is quickly receding. Tomorrow is also expected to be well above average temperatures with rain in southern and eastern New England, so melting will continue. That’s also sure to produce a lot of fog.
However the horrendous ice storm affecting the Midwest and MidEast US will descend upon NE on Friday, and it’s expected that roads will be impassible with 0.1”+ of black ice and dropping temperatures (from high 40°s to low 20°s). That will turn all the rain, slush and sleet to ice which could down trees and power lines.
I’ve got the backup genny at the ready and cars are fueled up.

I'm out of town, but I hear 18-24"--it's hard to tell after 30-40 mph winds through most of the storm. I'll see when I get back tomorrow.

Dave, hear you on that. Reports rom up north (Haverhill) is just tons of snow. In SW Ct we had @8 inches but drifting. Winter is winter -- but - Mystic is in the epicenter of the snow: how are things there??
Stinkpotter Posted - 01/29/2022 : 13:46:13
I heard there's "thunder snow" around Boston.
bigelowp Posted - 01/28/2022 : 10:50:16
More concerned about wind and drifting than the +/- 8 inches expected. FYI all but three days since Christmas have had small craft advisories. Half the days have had gale advisories. Only three days of "normal" wind -- similar stats so far to last year and significantly different from a decade ago.

Yep, Snowblowers ready to go but the wind can be a real factor.
