We are currently under a wind advisory [winds forecasted to be 31-39 mph or gusts ranging between 46 & 57 mph] which is posted until 9 p.m. this evening. Yesterday’s brief dose of tropical temps and light rain washed out a majority if not all of the lingering wet snow and ice on trees and power lines which should leave the potential for outages on the low side if not a non factor.
A winter storm watch [potential of accumulating snow of 6” or more in 12 hour period or 8” or more in a 24 hour period] has been posted which kicks off Sunday at 7 p.m. and runs through Tuesday at 1 a.m..
Today’s high of 24 is happening now and may drop a few degrees throughout the course of the day as wind chills range in the 2-7 degree range.
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.
