Will cause severe erosion on east side of island.

By 7 a.m., it will be at 968 mb (it's lowest, we hope), and should start moving north, away from you. The worst winds will be past you at that point.

If power goes out, you will lose access to your well. That's happened to me a few times, and is not pretty.

You'll probably get socked when that happens. It's off the coast of NJ right now, heading in your direction. Like a hurricane, so the eye will be just south of you. The winds will be moving counterclockwise from the NE, carrying a lot of water. Also, there is a statewide 4 pm travel ban. No cars on any road except emergency, govt, utility or press vehicles.

A light snow started about 10:30 a.m., and now the flakes are bigger and wetter. No wind yet. I can't say how fast it's falling but roads, trees, sidewalks, cars are already coated with the white stuff in the first hour. Good luck, Jan! I'll check in on you later today. Let's just hope we all keep our power. Without, we're sunk in this all-electric home and probably won't be able to get to our cabin w/woodstove. paulanoreply@blogger.com
