I just went out to let out the year old pup in the yard and I was pretty amazed - I can say without fear of contradiction that I've never seen anything like it here in Newport and I was born and raised here - wind gusts are 50+ - eee cooodeesh.

Tough to say how much is on the ground - it's gotta be in the 18-24" range easy - there's a drift across most of the yard that's maybe 6'....visibility right now is about 100 yards....

Can't really judge it in terms of '78 though - I wasn't here - me and a buddy left for Florida 2 days before it hit and I was in West Palm nursing a sunburn when we got the news

Wish I could say that now

	"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
