A Winter Weather Watch is in effect from 7 a.m. Saturday – 4 a.m. Sunday during which time accumulations of 8” – 12,” or 12” – 16” depending where you look, of snow is expected to top the +/- 3” totals picked up earlier today.
Winds look to range between 20 and 30 mph with gusts topping out at 40 as temperatures are forecasted to run between the mid 20’s and 30’s.
Not to be outdone, a Gale Warning is in effect from 4 p.m. Saturday – 1 a.m. Sunday should anyone be on the Cape and planning on a discounted seal tour.
That said, I would load up on Spam only if you enjoy it and not as a bunker staple; previous events in recent weeks have already prompted everyone’s hatches to be sufficiently battened and we have endured almost double the wind projections.

As a lifelong resident of the outer Cape I was the third generation to pick up the mantel in the family construction business. In my early twenties, I called the Cape my home on weekends as I spent several years working for a variety of off-Cape commercial construction companies. My site supervision resume includes two supermarkets, two HUD projects, a funeral home and a handful of steel industrial buildings as well as various restaurant and office remodels.
