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.
