As requested, I have received a number of emails claiming reports of cameras and any other number of devices as being down in the early hours of last evening. An isolated fire in an electrical panel at the Comcast office in Orleans resulted in power being cut by design until the issue was resolved. Outages as far as Truro had been reported. The earth should be back on it axis presently and I have little doubt that grief counseling will be available for the youngsters throughout the day today.
A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for Friday and will be in effect from 1 a.m. – 11 a.m… Current accumulation projections range from 2” – 5” with a potential for sporadic flurries before and after the advisory window. Winds are forecasted in the 10 – 15 mph range with gusts upwards of 25 mph which should make this event the stuff of postcards and sonnets rather than a Spam and water purification tablet type system.
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.
