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 having gusts in the 55-60 mph range right now. My front yard is full of branches. The big oak
out front is scary. A couple big chunks have come down, but luckily none have hit the electric
wires.

Y'all be careful now Ya hear.
For some reason those "mighty oaks" don't seem to do that well in the
wind. I gave mine a "flat top" haircut to avoid those upper limbs from
snapping off and hitting the screen cage. If you look at a really old
oak here, they look like that anyway, from nature. I understand you
have different oaks but I lived with them too.

Our big one out front has dropped a couple big branches - 6" diameter or so. Both dead. Lucky they
didn't hit the power lines, but don't know how they missed. Pieces were in the road and in the yard,
straddling the power line.
