Wonky

Posted on by Nichole S.

Kind of a wonky blizzard here in Rockport.

Freezing and SUPER WINDY, but not actually tons of snow….yet.

Our front deck is completely clean…as are our cars.  The snow in the front yard is accumulating in drifts and the snow in the back yard it 1/2 way up the fence so far.  Likewise, it is starting to devour the swing set.

We still have power and cable/internet….but yet the wind is louder than I’ve heard in a while!

Let’s hope the new construction on that breakwater holds!

Our feeder was especially popular this morning with the sparrows and cardinals. Four birds crowded the buffet at once. Bon Appetit!FeederSnow5523wm

A01 Buoy Off Gloucester: A Bit Breezy

Posted on by paultmorrison

ao10730

Wind speed 65 mph, now that is a bit breezy.

Wind gust to 84 mph. That is the highest I’ve ever seen on this buoy.

Wave height climbed to 22 feet and then has been “NA” since 4AM. NA probably means “not applicable” but I have a feeling the indicator crapped its pants.

Water temp 41F at the surface. 41 F all the way down to 50 meters. Well mixed.

The wind is straight out of the north. High tide is at 5PM today. Lock 4WD and I might go see how Motif #1 is handling the waves coming straight in off Sandy Bay.

Stella can’t get out of the house on the lee side with a four foot drift against the door. On the windward side bare grass and she took a leak but poopies are not a possibility when the wind is blowing up her skirt at 65 mph.

Hmmm  nothing from our weather guy yet.  If you want updates from Pete he’s got plenty on Twitter.  Apparently GMG-not that important in this weather event of the year,  maybe decade.

Or you can check out crazy Carl who I’m sure has a dozen reports filed by now.
