Realizing several of you are on the fence in regards to heading this way I wanted to extend a heads up now rather than wait until this afternoon. A Blizzard Watch is up and runs from 7 p.m. Saturday through 7 p.m. Sunday. In addition, a Coastal Flood Watch in place for Sunday between 4 a.m. and 1 p.m…
We picked up 1”-2” of snow overnight and currently temperatures look to remain in the teens throughout the day with wind chills averaging around zero.
All things being equal, we’re in a bit of a holding pattern until mid afternoon Saturday which is to say that while bitterly cold there is an otherwise clear window of time to string up provisions out of reach of bears, dig out root cellars and head into town for lamp oil.
By all indications, the teeth of this storm in terms of snowfall, peak early morning Sunday although snowfall in general is expected to occur throughout the Blizzard Watch window. Anyone still on board with making the trip should plan an exit strategy around an assumed 10”-12+” of additional accumulation by the end of business Sunday.
The ongoing focus at this point remains on those who rely on oil as I’ve been moving the chess pieces around the board and liberating those driveways for several weeks now on an as needed basis. Stay tuned…
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.
