It looks like much of the coast is going to see actual blizzard conditions this weekend.
We’re far enough west that snowfall totals are not expected to be very high, but the winds are going to be an issue.
Winds like that take down trees and power lines. We will have our wood pile in the house replenished and the generator all set up and ready to go.
I do expect widespread power outages, which is not going to end well for a whole lot of people as the overnight lows are going to be bad enough with the windchill that it’s going to pose a danger to anyone outside and for pipes freezing and bursting in houses.
On the bright side, if you lose power, you can stick the food in your fridge outside in coolers.
That's the way I see it.
In my coastal town of Scituate,Ma. the roadways have been sprayed, the Boston TV stations have their TV trucks in place, Eversource Electric trucks are everywhere getting ready for the power outages, and the snow plows are everywhere.
But if it is a blizzard, they will have to wait it out. -Tom
Power outages during really cold weather are so dangerous. I Wonder how many snowbirds are in Florida, leaving their Northeast homes empty.
