Blowin' and snowin' here on the Western shore of the C. Bay. The wind seems to be shifting between north and south which is kind of weird. Power's still on, which is nice...

Enjoying our weather are you? Did some off road biking in the Boston area last night. It's nice to see the ground in winter.

I'm going to go find that 10 year old and watch him shovel the driveway again.

You guys would hate Florida right now. It's 73 and blowing like crazy with the sun shining in Jupiter. It would be a mess sailing this but fun!

I'm just happy its above zero.

Actually today I wouldn't have minded it being a bit cooler. I bought a gizmo to reflash the ecu on my pickup so when its below 20*F the idle picks up a few hundred rpm, and then it shuts down three cylinders to help the engine warm up faster. I'm not sure I did it right though.

Kieth. Close to 30" over here in Gville. I would check your boat but can't get there. Just finished my second dig out. Thank god my neighbor called me and offered his snow blower. Glad that we haven't lost power also. Ed

Areas away from windy are about 30" here too. Thanks for the sentiment on checking the boat, but I moved home not too long ago:

Hi Guys,

Your not alone .... we officially recorded 29.5" in my town, Newtown Square PA .... second deepest on record!!!! and since I live on a "private" street no snow plows .... we're going to have to dig the street out today only 4X4's getting out ....

John Scholsberg reported Triple Threat flooded/sank at her dock yesterday in Annapolis ..... snow weight??????

What a mess ... Camelback in the Pocanos only got 2-3" of this mess .... that's were it should be .... on the ski slopes!!!!!!

After reading this we are really spoiled down here. It was 70 degrees blowing West at 20-30 mph yesterday and we bailed because TMS Mike did not have a wetsuit.

Holy Crap, Anymore info? Was the lagoon frozen?

There has been a lot of ice. My tri is also in the water issues with the outboard kept me in the water, and then I got caught in ice - the ice has been going on for awhile now. Anyway, knowing that the wind was going to be howling and the snow was going to be the wet sticky heavy kind, I took the time on Friday afternoon to get anything that was extra windage off the boat (main/boom, foller furled jib, lifesling, etc.), as I was afraid of the action of a heavy snowed up rig in high winds on a frozen in boat. I'm glad I did - you can see from the pic that there's not much snow on things - the wind whipped through there pretty hard meaning the dock is pretty clear, but you can see the fore dock line covered in snow/ice. The lines themselves get pretty heavy and can cause damage when like this. I was very glad I got to spend the time, I believe the outcome would have been different had I not.

Sorry to hear about Triple Threat, hopefully the damage is minor and she'll be back terrorizing the Bay soon.

Here's Tri-Pawed after the storm, the ice actually melted a bit during the storm, probably from the wind, she's been locked in solid most of last week.
