They just turned me around in the parking lot and sent me home. No power. I could hear trees snapping as I talked to the boss....

tons of ice up at my office (salem, nh) and no power. i'm actually working on my laptop at the mall because there's power and wifi. hopefully there will be power either at the office or at home by the time my battery dies. doubt it though, since that's only about 20 minutes away. maybe bang out some xmas shopping since i have the mall pretty much too myself - except for the old people walking.

Looked like a pretty big storm surge with high tide this morning as well...about as big as I've seen it.

Spence, west passing low pressure (Nor'easter) coupled with a spring high tide (4.7ft predicted at Newport). Add two feet of storm surge on top of that, and the water level is ~7ft above MLLW. Not a hurricane surge, but put some 12ft swells on it and there will be some erosion along the south facing beaches... 2ft is fairly typical for a decent sized nor'easter. Extend it for 5 days and you end up with the Patriots day storm...
There will be a set-down after the storm (most likely) once the Low passes and the NW comes in. Go scout spots at low-tide Sat afternoon, especially up inside the bay... should be able to see some structure if the swells aren't too big to obscure it... |

I guess I just looked at the water under the Sakonnet River Bridge on my way to drop off Griffin, and the water was almost on the road.
That's my yardstick science boy
