Storm of the Century!

So far. We had about 30″ along the coast, the most snow I’ve ever seen here. We were snowed in until today. Tom Beaton was able to get down to the Yard yesterday and pump out Sjogin. Thanks Tom.

When I finally got down today I was surprised to see her decks swept clean from the gale force winds we had during this very nasty Northeaster. The cockpit was full of snow and it took a while to clear it out. Luckily no water in the cabin. It’s supposed to be in the mid 40’s this weekend so she should have ice free bilges for a while.


It starts
This was from Sunday morning, the start of the storm. Very cozy below with the howling wind and blowing snow.


What snow?
With the wind out of the NNW, the decks were swept clean. Note the clear dock. And the ice is back but not too thick. With the warming trend it may be gone by Friday allowing a chance for a last sail for 2010.


Drifts!
Not all the docks were clear. This is in front of the Mast Shed.


Wow!
Most snow ever at our house. It was about 30″ in the back yard but felt like more when shoveling the path to the street. Thankfully we don’t have any sidewalks to clear. Hope it melts before the daffodils are due.


Happy tree, happy Julia
Here’s part of our Christmas Tree with a Happy Julia. Note the snow free patio.

Happy New Year all!
