N it isin't even Xmas season yet!
...
Looks like we're bracing for another big-time X-hurricane turned NorEaster heading up to the North Atlantic.
...
My village faces South Cape waters n usually does alright in these storms, while the North facing water areas get slammed hard.
...
Before work last night I went out n moved all my deck stuff up against the side of the building in hopes my little trees won't get tossed about too badly. The two larger ones planted in barrels usually end up laying sideways in high winds no matter what I do tho- Some of the plants got moved inside last week already to avoid the frost temps we got overnight last week.
I got most of the leaves out of the gutters n raked the storm drain before work Thursday, when I didn't even realize the storm was coming this way so soon.
Well, at least I didn't get all the raking done just so it gets wrecked again with the nasty winds. Can't rake in a storm, either so no yard work today.
...
The coves showed a bit of storm surge height already at high tide Friday at sunset. I just wonder if the power will fail, n if the new house across the hill will block wind gusts better than it's predecessor. Noel is comin to pay a visit...
