January 26-28 Blizzard Observations/Nowcast

[Jenkins]

I am in Westerly, RI (pretty close to downtown) at 72 feet, about 3.5 miles as the crow flies from the Atlantic. I have my weather station mounted on top of my roof (26 feet) above my elevation of 72 feet. Currently 18 degrees with 61% humidity and the first flakes are now falling albeit very lightly. Average wind speed is 12mph, gusting to 19mph. Expecting around 18" here with winds gusting around 60 or so. Should be awesome. I'll keep you guys updated.

Awesome, I'm probably quite close. I'm on school st near the top of the hill.

Finally made it to your neck of the woods! I'm currently sitting in my truck at the Scituate lighthouse on Cedar Point...trying to fully restore feeling to my fingers.

Also, I'm trying to determine whether just to stay here and film from the "Point", or go a little further south to either Marshfield (at the point there) or to Plymouth-where winds are forecast to be above HF?
