nope, not payin overhead

Here near the east end of the canal, I swear it's been blowing harder since I got home than it ever did during Sandy.

gusts to 90 on Block island, 20 foot seas and the green light at the end of old harbor jetty is gone... :smash::smash:

send that sweet "Euro Model" to my house... I have some "work' for her

21 footers now..

NDBC - Station 44097

I rode the bike into that NE wind from Pleasant Street to the corner before the oil tanks this morning around 7 and I almost had a heart attack. Took me about 10 minutes too. Didn't even have to peddle on way back. On way home from work today at 4 going over the Bourne Bridge I almost went 2 lanes over in a gust. One of the worst crossings I have ever experienced in 25 years of driving back and forth daily.

it hit 31ft (significant wave height) during Sandy... probably the odd 37-40ft @ the peak....

where did you see 90? gusting 60 @ spring house....

Power out in marshfield ! House has been shaking all night

I thought they were going to name major winter storms ?

From what i understand the weather channel is now naming winter storms, but NOAA is not recognizing it. Next on deck is Brutus. I think it helps their hype machine.

I believe this one is named Athena

phil is so naughty... heh heh

Say it ain't so - love the green glow at night - just enough to see bass blow up on your needlefish. Wrote a story about it - have it somewhere.

13 days of nice weather starting this weekend. Storm in Montana moves out behind us dragging warm gulf air into the region

Break out the beach chairs and the bunker chunks! Its cleanup time...

Hope you're not just trying to lull me into a false sense of relief knowing I'll be at Block for the next 7 days or so?

I am in Falmouth and I agree with you. I think just that little turn of East vs. Northeast has the wind hitting harder at my house, less land to travel over. This storm has been a bit worse in terms of wind and definitely rain. Only difference may be the lack of storm surge I guess.

Nice graph of barometric pressure wind speed gusts from buzm3.

Appears the storm in waning.

Sandy was a bit lower in pressure 988 vs this storm which bottomed at 994. Still pretty strong storms

Neighbors front windows blew out. I lost downspouts and some trim. Why did I move here ??? :)

Storm sent me home at 10 this morning from work in Pocasset with power outage. Napped all day long:uhuh:

I've ridden the length of the Canal into 30 mph winds, and even in my low gears and at my level of fitness, it ain't easy. It's like climbing an 8% grade hill---for 7 miles.

I can imagine it on a heavy bike, with two rods and gear in the baskets. At least you picked the right way to start and finish. :grins:
