Looks like the nor'easter will be gathering strength today and tomorrow

moving, so plenty of time to develop high seas due to fetch.Â* Weather
people are predicting 25 to 30 foot seas along the coastline with 65 to
75 mph wind gusts.Â* There are already astronomically high tides over
three tide cycles so places like Scituate that got creamed in the last
storm are going to get clobbered again with flooding.

Then, to add insult to injury, cold air is supposed to move in on
Saturday resulting in a change over to snow.Â* Been a cold, rough winter.



We're getting NW winds, 25-35 mph, a bit of rain, and temps about 40.
Not very pleasant.
