http://news.yahoo.com/hybrid-sandy-winter-storm-threatens-east-coast-064040714.html Secure the boats and batten down the hatches. NY and NJ in for one hell of a blow from the looks of it.

Not just Sandy but a winter storm as well. This could be the stuff movies are made of. You guys up there be careful!

Thanks Bob,
We are due for a storm that will bring in the cold and this could be it. I'm still in so extra lines will be added. The biggest problem is usually if it hits during high tide. Lots of people are out already so that's a plus.

Fox just reported a full moon tide occurs next week.
 
I blame Pascal. From the start he said a storm this late in the season was trouble !

DAMN !
 
No, Hogan said bring it on. Looks like he's gonna get it! I'm not connected with the weather up there anymore but it seems to me they have had less rain leading up to this. Hopefully the flooding is not as bad as it was with the storms last year.
But, Fox said something like a billion in damage could accrue. Irene and friends were much worse.
 
Media hype. Thsi will be nothing more than some rain and wind gusts. Reporters though will appear on TV with wind blown umbrellas in full rain gear soaking wet.
 
Down here, at this time of year, the old timers referred to this as a "Mullet Blow".
 
looks like we got out just in time........Good Luck guys..........
 
I just hope that being on the hard is being safe. I'm very afraid of falling off the blocks in a big blow. BTW I'm pulling tomorrow afternoon.

Maybe I should haul early.

There are still a few days to go before it gets up here. It may be best to make alternate plans to pull the boat based on it's track this weekend.
 
We're in South FL now. So far, it's a ***** cat down here. Some showers and wind gusts, maybe up to 45 mph.
 
If it hits in NJ the flooding in NYC could be very serious. One forecast is predicting this.
 
I got pulled last week from the Chesapeake Bay but my boat is not too far from a bulkhead. Hopefully, the water won't come up enough to start floating boats off their stands. :(
 
I was already planning to take the boat out this Saturday due to the busted steering box. Timing is everything.
 
Bunch of fear mongering. If weather people did not fear monger, there would be no pinache in ths story.
