Cape Cod check in
Was a wild night! The snow is still falling and not expected to clear out of here until after midnight.
Doesnt look like there is much snow out there. Maybe 8-12 inches so far. I am presuming the backhoe they are using to keep the parking lot clear is either to avoid blowing a transmission pushing heavy wet snow with a regular plow and/or because the configuration of the area makes piling snow an impossibility. Looks like they are actually moving the snow to someplace else.
The power is currently on. Was going on and off with such regularity during the night it was making me think some assholes at the electric company were playing with one of those clap on/clap off things.
90% of the Cape is without power. Have no clue why this side of the road still has power but am thankful for it. Windchill is 0 at the moment.
Winds are down to the more managable and less worrisome range - sustained up to 40, gusts to 60 mph range. Trees seem to be holding their own so far which is just freakin amazing.
Road I can see is snow covered but passable. Cant use salt on the roads here because of the water table. The salt sub doesnt work quite as well in these temps.
Number 1 brother from northern RI is reporting 2 feet and still snowing. Cant reach bro number 2. Have yet to be able to reach my Mom in the middle of RI. Had her charge her cell and spent a half hour going over just press the green button. Write it down. Green button. Even practiced answering calls with the green button.
Hope everyone is safe out there.
