    The meterologist on the latest weather report said this storm is going to be "serious" and "no joke." Similar to the Blizzard of '78, but rain thankfully. It will span 3 high tide cycles. Definitely a little more concerning.

    "Bombogenesis" and "bomb cyclone"

    Anyone feel desensitized yet? These people are getting ridiculous!


    Anyway, everyone in the path be safe. Enjoy the wild weather!

    Heard on the national news this morning that Boston could see wind gusts up to 80 MPH :bug:

    40 foot seas offshore. News even said there will be homes destroyed and sea walls breached along the coastline. Serious stuff, be safe.

    I love the ocean and coastline, but a storm like this, is one melon farmer. Lots of properties going to be damaged, if not outright flushed out to sea.

    Makes me glad to be 30 miles inland and at 500' elevation.

    All of you out east hunker down and stay safe:) Flying projectiles in the wind is no joke. Glad most will have heat from our stoves, and seems many here have generators too.

    The noon high tide flooded coastal neighborhoods and didn't drain out. The midnight high tide is even higher, and will pour in on top of the water already there. People have fish in their basements.

    rain is done here, now we're just getting wind. hoping I have some loocal windfalls to add to my massive pile of rounds.
    last night i carefully piled fresh splits on top of my firewood rack covers, I didn't want any of them flying around the neighborhood, came home today to find that the fiberglass tonnaeu cover, the only thing I didn't weight down, had blown off!
    i can barely move it by myself, i can't imagine how much wind it took to blow it off the stack.

    I saw the fish report as well. Crazy stuff!

    Should be lots of good scrounging around the region over the next few weeks.

    Maybe more down your way, I think you had stronger winds. Although, there was a nice run at the dump after the windstorm last fall. But nothing like what fishingpol got.

    This storm was worse on the coast with the astronomical high tides than the fall storm.

    Around here it was some wind gusts and a bit of rain and very few power outages. Looks like some snow mixed in, but I don't think we will see much at all.

    I guess the east coast could get more storms on March 6 & 7 and then another possible storm for the coast on March 11 & 12.

    Pretty windy down here in Buzzards Bay.
    I don't know how windy exactly because the spinny cups on my anemometer rapidly disassembled Sometime this morning.
    Wind is dying down a bit now.
    Got a pine tree down on the ground and a poplar down under 45º, can't tell if it's hung up on trees or straining on its roots, it was too dark and windy and raining to check out the poplar by getting closer.
    The pine tree was right near the oak I've been burning.

    And of course my quicky roof on two cords of maple flew off even with skids and logs to weight it down.

    Burned some pine and red oak today, but it's kinda warm in here so no overnite fire.
    Weather radar says it's snowing here but all I see is rain.

    Still windy here. Got about 4” of wet and heavy snow. Trees down all around.

    It got really windy here after nightfall. Some really srious gusts, but they would last twice as long as a normal strong wind gust would. My stove was drafting like crazy, couldn't regulate the temps so I had the slider open for a while. Only heard one limb or small tree let go during the worst of it.

    Got some Intel on where Asplundah has been working the past few days. Gonna roll out in an hour and see if there was any storm damage, and hopefully update the car hoarding thread.
