Just a normal spring tide....

We'll see some surge from this storm, but not a lot, track is to the east, wrong side of the storm down here. The cape and south shore of MA will get clocked though....

Today's morning hightide (Tiverton) was 5.5ft...the highest for the month of Jan.

Let's see. we're getting a snowstorm.

Not a hurricane, not a tornado, not a supersell thunderstorm, but a snowstorm. We're talking fluffy snow right now with increasing amounts later tonight.

SO......with the small amount we have right now, schools have closed for both days, state workers are being sent home early (and I will bet they will be told to stay home tomorrow as well) and the rest of the real working world will have to brave the elements and risk our lives because our companies don't close at the first wisp of snow!

I know the plow drivers will definitely earn their pay tonight, but it makes me shake my head in disbelief that the schools are closed TODAY when the storm isn't really due to pick up until tonight???

I swear that our state officials are turning into (if they haven't already) the biggest wussies in the world. They make decisions that are based on fear of lawsuit more than financial responsibility and intelligence.

All I can say is bring on the storm and let's see how these wussies handle it. I'd rather rely on my neighbors and friends than the state any day of the week, mainly because I can trust them not to screw me over the first chance they get!

I live in Burrillville, right in the Worcester snow belt and our schools are open today and probably will be tomorrow. Hell, 8" of snow is a "dusting' here.

Lincoln Ri here and the school already called, emailed as well. No after school activities and no school tomorrow.

Science boy.

The amount of tide is judged by how full it looks under the bridge when I take G to school.

Your charts I render moot.

I love this weather..even though I have to work out side in it and have done so all my life... it took me 10 minutes to get to work... normal commute ( with idots on the road) takes 20... 45 if it's snowing or raining...no idiots on the road and my only delay is a few traffic lights..I'll never figure out why people buy out all the bread and milk the store will let them.. get a months supply of canned goods.. have expensive generators in case they loose power.. buy the biggest snow blower money can buy and the lattest and greatest ice melter .. yet drive around on inadequate tires..on cars that belong in the carribean...I'll save the SUV's that don't clean the snow off their vehicles for another rant... 3 months until groundfishing opens
