Here near the east end of the canal, I swear it's been blowing harder since I got home than it ever did during Sandy.

Say it ain't so - love the green glow at night - just enough to see bass blow up on your needlefish. Wrote a story about it - have it somewhere.

I rode the bike into that NE wind from Pleasant Street to the corner before the oil tanks this morning around 7 and I almost had a heart attack. Took me about 10 minutes too. Didn't even have to peddle on way back. On way home from work today at 4 going over the Bourne Bridge I almost went 2 lanes over in a gust. One of the worst crossings I have ever experienced in 25 years of driving back and forth daily. |

I've ridden the length of the Canal into 30 mph winds, and even in my low gears and at my level of fitness, it ain't easy. It's like climbing an 8% grade hill---for 7 miles.
I can imagine it on a heavy bike, with two rods and gear in the baskets. At least you picked the right way to start and finish.  |

I am in Falmouth and I agree with you. I think just that little turn of East vs. Northeast has the wind hitting harder at my house, less land to travel over. This storm has been a bit worse in terms of wind and definitely rain. Only difference may be the lack of storm surge I guess. |
