Re: Are You Ready Viking Bob?
No, I'm not ready. mentally at least.
The last storm we had about 12" of wet, soggy snow and VERY strong wind gusts of more than 70 MPH. I did OK so far as damage was concerned. BUT. there were more than 70K households that had no power for more than 11 hours. ( including us ) That was just on the Cape. No power and temps down to about 10F. COLD stuff!
This storm has the potential of the same amount of snow but thus far, we have only had heavy rain. Off Cape they seem to be going through a repeat and more of the same. Making up for the rather mild weather so far, this winter.
Thanks for the thought.
