I'll sign a release allowing the heavier snow to move north.

Yikes! Is the Ocean Mist still standing?

And trees off of the house.

Hopefully no one has tulip trees.

While taking every at-bat to a 3-2 count.

When I was a Director of Administrative Services for an area school department, winds were a big issue when you had kids waiting at bus stops and a good possibility a school would lose power during the day. You'd rather cancel up front than have an early dismissal, especially with elementary school kids.

No, but I'm honored!

My generator is still in the shop. Any power outages in the South Kingstown-Narragansett area are clearly my fault. I do have the Coleman stove and lantern fueled up and a full tank of propane for the grill. I hope that supplicates the weather gods.

To anyone who is superstitious, the pull cable on my generator broke when doing a test start earlier today and my ongoing repair efforts have failed. The odds of losing power in South Kingstown, RI just increased 200%. At least my mother's generator started right up.

Some snow would be nice just so long as it's not enough to complicate getting gasoline for the generator!

We've hit 24" a couple of time here is South Kingstown (between the coast and URI) in the 25+ years I've lived here but it is rare (especially compared to when I lived in Worcester). We usually don't get large accumulations of the high ratio snow here, but I'm hoping that is the case in this storm, especially if I have to shovel my way to the generator.

Two quick dimming of the lights just now. Enjoying power while it lasts.

I got my morning coffee in without needing to break out the Coleman stove and the percolator and I'll be turning on the generator when it is light out. I'm trying to accentuate the positive. Now so long as nothing falls on the house...

THE NWS Boston graphical forecast for South Kingstown showed a peak gust just under 80 and sustained winds near 60 at 3 PM. Focusing on the small things, at least I will be able to fire up the generator while it is light out.

I'm pretty sure that all of RI is serviced by NGRID. At least that is the case here in South Kingstown and we have about half the population along the coast from Westerly to Narragansett.
