ummm....not yet :)
Head’s up, Southern New England!
..we just made it to our B & B in Charlottetown--- when it hit!
Probably won’t get the chance to post the Turkey for real!
Are you prepared just in case we get one like 2005’s tropical storm Zeta (December 30th)?
...and with a serious tailwind, I imagine. Yow.
THAT’S the spirit!
thanks for the early AM smile NN.
and all the pings of the “season”
:^)
I like that last ping pic best :-)
Noel is quickly going extra-tropical it would appear based on satellite images.
No direct hit on New England it seems, but it’s likely that Cape Cod and parts of Maine will see significant winds and perhaps some gusts above hurricane force.

A high wind watch remains in effect from Saturday afternoon

North to northeast winds will increase to 25 to 40 mph with gusts
up to 70 mph later Saturday afternoon and Saturday night. Widespread
power outages may result from the combined impact of the strong
winds and heavy rainfall.
A high wind watch means there is the potential for a hazardous
high wind event. Please continue to monitor NOAA Weather Radio or
your local media outlet for the latest forecasts.
We've got them today on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. All schools in the county are closing early today because of the winds and expected flooding when high tide hits at around 3 this afternoon and even worse flooding is expected with hightide overnight.
It sort of looks like we dodged a real bullet.

Thank you. I guess that’s what I get for only halfway paying attention. I was just waiting to see if we’d get a day off of school! Last year we did for one that didn’t even hit. It was great, we had a day off and it was beautiful! ;)
