DRONE AERIAL: THE BLIZZARD 2015 – RESCUED IN BAY VIEW

Posted on by Craig Kimberley

IT’S THE BIG DIG 2!!
So here’s the rescue I was waiting for! Finally we are getting dug out of here. With drifts as high as 8 feet, there was no access to Kilby St., until now. Sorry for the crappy flying, but it was very gusty up here!

Snowpocalypse Hits Rockport

Posted on by Nichole S.

Who remembers when Hollywood turned Rockport into Sitka, Alaska?  Well, this morning kind of reminds me of that.

The salt water encrusted homes on the waterfront look down right creepy and others look as if they have covered in white creamy frosting (Thatcher’s words, not mine).

Some one asked that I post new photos of the houses I photographed yesterday afternoon.  Today they look like ice castles!

Someone had asked about the “house on stilts” and how it handled the storm. Fortunately it appears fine….and it is no longer simply on stilts.

It is gorgeous this morning.  But….I’m ok going quite a while until this all happens again!

Please STOP

SnowRkptwm5549At the height of the storm, this was all I saw directly across the street. It made me think: “I’d like it if the snow would just STOP.” It snowed in Rockport this morning, and now Juno has moved on. There are no cars on the road.

Well, this was a video for last night, but it would never upload from my house before the power died. So enjoy! More storm coverage and aftermath to come!

Blizzard Pics :
Well Joey C … I tried , I got down to GHB And it was so cold , my iPhone froze , my GoPro camera battery died , police told me to leave press or no press , then walked up the hill to Atlantic Road in White Out Conditions trying to film and take Pics ! Then the unthinkable removed my glove to fix phone and battery and now my finger tips are numb ! Oh boy hoping it’s not Frost Bite ! So this was one Epic Historic Blizzard for Sure … And I believe we reached Blizzard Criteria on Cape Ann !!! Total snow from what I hear is 32″ …. Highest Gust was 84mph ! Sustained Winds Of 65mph!!! So long BlizzardOf2015… More to come …..
