The current forecast for my area is 6 to 12 inches of snow, starting early morning on Tuesday and going through until early evening. I would expect the forecast to be refined a bit by Monday.
With last months storms, Hampton Beach in NH and Salisbury Beach in MA had really bad flooding and erosion. In Salisbury, home owners and the state have brought in over 30 tons of sand and moved it around to protect the beach and homes. Unfortunately, this current storm is forecast to be really bad for more flooding and erosion in those areas. Having a home with an ocean in your back yard is beautiful, until it isn't. There's no way I could live like that.
On the other hand, yesterday was beautiful. I got out for my first ride of the year. Coincidentally, my first ride least year was also on February 10th. After moving stuff around the garage to get access to the bike, I topped of the tires with air and was ready to go. I was on the road by about 10:30, with temps in the low 50s.
I had planned to go lunch at Davis BBQ in Sterling. I arrived and saw that they were closed for renovation. So I want to the bagel cafe in Sterling for a very good breakfast bagel sandwich. Then I headed west on route 62 to Hubbardston. There was more snow on the ground out there so it was colder, high 40s, and there was snow melt on the roads. From Hubbardston, I took 68 north to Gardener. Then 2A east 140 south to eventually home.
I did see bikes out, more so the farther east I got because it was warmer and less snow melt. Total was 100 miles. The bike needed a thorough wash after. It felt good to get out for a ride.
