And a watery chowder it is. We’ve seen a steady diet of rain throughout the day and the winds have just recently picked up with the High Wind Warning in place until 2 a.m. Tuesday. There are “less than 2,” apparently Latin for 1, homes on the Cape without power and that is in Yarmouth. Current conditions include a feels like temp of 26 degrees fashioned in part by gusts in the 50 mph range pushing around standing temperatures in the upper 30’s. Temperatures look to continue to climb overnight capping out at 42 by midday Tuesday making any outages a nuisance rather than an issue. I’m content closing this round out but will of course return to the podium should conditions deteriorate.

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.
