Blizzard warning stops at the state line.
Winter storm at CC O'Briens in Pawcatuck, but a blizzard on the other side of the mighty Pawcatuck River.  |

Hitting 18" in Newport is gonna be easy...
I woke up at 6 AM and opened the front door while my 1st cup of starter fluid was brewing...saw some guy walking down Thames St in near white out conditions, the poor SOB looked like Shackleton leaning into the teeth of a gale... 
Won't be able to open the back door to let the dogs out until I walk around the building to shovel it out after I finish my coffee... 
I'd have to say we've got an honest 14-15" by now if not more judging by the snow on top of my wife's Jeep out front - with drifts pretty much bunghole deep to a 10 foot Indian... 
Winds are a steady 30 MPH - Ch 12 said gusts of 50 were clocked here during the night
That's it for now from the Lower Tems Weather Observatory in Newport - stay tuned for updates |
"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.

I would say we have 5 to six inches. The wind is blowing hard, and there are drifts over two feet in many places.
|
thats why they call it fishing not catching

If anyone knew what Sir Ernie looked like walking into those teeth, it must have been the Chuck, the Photo Geek taking the picture .
Looks like about a foot here, based on averaging whats on the left and whats on the right.
20 bucks says no neighborhood kids will be around to shovel for $20 |

Buried in gansett! Looks about foot and a half of snow. Couldnt open any of the doors, wifes car is buried in a drift. Looks to be about 2 ft on the roads. My parents in portsmouth said the plow truck is stuck on their street! Heh. Dog had a hell of a time bustin a leak in neck deep snow. Then i noticed it was bloody red! How am i gonna drive the dog to the vet in this? Then the makers haze cleared and i remembered i had fed the dog a bunch of beet skins last night. |

Maybe all the plow trucks are stuck in Middletown too. I can see what appears to be evidence they came through early in the storm but nothing since.
Be safe today everyone, I don't think any emergency situation can be addressed very easily until they get the roads cleared a bit. |
