Looks like the nor'easter will be gathering strength today and tomorrow
as it intensifies off the coastline just south of here. It's slow
moving, so plenty of time to develop high seas due to fetch. Weather
people are predicting 25 to 30 foot seas along the coastline with 65 to
75 mph wind gusts. 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. Been a cold, rough winter.


We're expecting some of that too.
Took our Springer Spaniel down to Point Pleasant park this morning but opted to stay on the wooded trails rather than the shore road open to south and south easterly winds The harbour looked like a washing machine with the water being agitated. Did meet two other Springer Spaniels though..on from two streets over who goes to great lengths to avoid Bronson and another beauty from the litter a year after Bronson..same parents.
