We open Spring on Sunday with a Winter Storm Watch that the prophets are openly claiming to be wildly uncertain about perhaps based in no small part that it’s two days away and the actual system has yet to form. The wishy-washy Watch, seemingly predicated on a Magic 8 Ball, is up from mid day Sunday through Monday morning where the old reliable 4”-8” projection of total snow accumulation is being called into action. While less popular models bookend this forecast with significantly more snow on the top end and a rain/sleet mix on the bottom, I will plan on circling back Sunday morning when we should have a better indication as to whether or not those eggs slated for decoration may be better served as rationed provisions.
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.
