Storm Report

Hi,

Well, according to the forecasters, we here in New England are about to be hit with a monster "Nor'easter". So, we're just going to pound this post out and sign off before we lose power...

Random thoughts (whilst listening to the wind gust and watching the barometer drop {29.62 in. and falling})...
  • Was watching the birds yesterday morning... There seemed an unusual urgency and aggressiveness to their feeding habits. At the time it seemed just an anomaly. In retrospect, perhaps not. They may have sensed this storm coming and were "stocking up".
  • Hoping that the new birdhouse holds up... Now regretting using copper tubing as the mounting post - should have used iron pipe. We'll keep you updated on the survival of the casa de pajaro.
  • The photo below is of a flicker. This was just one of the birds that were mobbing the feeder Saturday AM.

  • Barometer now at 29.57. Winds still low at 20+ mph... Maybe this whole thing has been overblown for Cape Cod. Maybe not.
  • Better go check the basement for flooding.
Signing off for now...

P.S. Barometer at 29.54 at 11:30 PM... Hmmm
