I think you need a link to a webcam in Tom and Ray’s “fair city” down there with Boston weather

Well, I poked around a bit, looking for an area web cam. A lot of them are off line, but the ones showing Boston Harbor and the city skyline from atop the Pru were totally obscured by rain droplets on the lenses, and heavy rain and fog beyond. Not much to look at today.

Here’s a cam in Gloucester. You might want to check it out tomorrow to see what’s doing around here. It’s astronomical high tide tonight and waves are already about 16 feet (before high tide), so the cam shots of Gloucester harbor could be lively tomorrow. Or maybe it’ll be rain splattered, too. The night time placeholder image is pretty, though.

LOL, I must not have had enough coffee yet this morning. I had a comment about this post but, pftttttt on it now! And that is just how I feel about this weather. Enough already!
But I did have a question I will re-ask lol. I downloaded the AVG virus scanner. The scan found two Trojan horses. One is infected, embedded (in the restore/archive file) and can not be healed. The other is infected, archive, in the same folder. They won’t let me delete them. What the heck can I do to get rid of them?

I don’t know, Jennifer. It’s one of those pain in the neck cases where you start scouring the AVG forums to see what hoops someone else had to jump through to get rid of the damned things. I haven’t had to do that, so I haven’t learned how to do that yet. I hope that I don’t have to. I hate tracking down these evil little inventions of evil little minds.

I went merrily off to work this morning determined, like you, not to bitch about the weather.  Lasted until I got out of the car and was literally wrapped in flying debris, leaves and lord only knows what else.  Made me spill my coffee too which is the final straw!!  The trees are looking a little sparse around here, too.  Amazing this weather of ours, isn’t it.  Tell me again why we live here??  And do not say SPRING, cause it exists only in our imaginations!!

Oh and the birds, well here, anyway, I suspect they found it impossible to eat at the feeders since all of them seemed to be permanently horizontal instead of vertical.  Now that I think about it, I wonder if my hummingbird feeders survived.......well, will have to wait til morning to find out.

Parts of our South Shore area (Lunenburg) has been proclaimed a state of emergency, 80 some odd homes have been evacuated, bridges and roads washed out and closed, and a damn threatening to break ... it’s quite a mess here too. Mother “N”. is quite upset about something!!

Cyn did you notice the blessed silence when the wind stopped? I’ve read many times about pioneer women living on the prairie saying that it wasn’t the hard life or the privation that drove them mad—it was the relentless wind. The sound of the wind that didn’t stop for weeks on end did them in. After only three days of it, I understand what they meant. It was already making me jumpy and irritable. It was so constant and so loud.

I am glad to say that the house is still here and hasn’t sustained any damage. I’m really glad we had the new roof put on a couple of summers ago. I don’t think the old one would have survived this storm. I think we weathered it in fairly good shape.

Those poor folks, Lynn. People on the south shore in Massachusetts sustained a huge amount of damage from the storm, too. Especially those right along the waterfront. The ocean just shoveled tons (literally) of gravel and sand into the back yards and streets. Terrible flooding, too.

Mother Nature seems to be a little testy about something. We probably have a good idea what, but no one’s going to pay attention until she makes us.

You are absolutely right about the wind, it was such a relief when it stopped and you could relax a little..

Could it be Mother Nature is a............Democrat?  WhooHoo

and the word is ‘pecksniff’..........pecksniff?????

Pecksniff = Charles Dickens character.

Love your new sunshiney gravatar, Cyn. Now...I wonder what inspired that?
