Nor'easter non-event

There is really not too much to report today, from a meteorological standpoint. I don't want to jinx myself, but this morning we woke up to a couple of inches of slush instead of wind blown drifts

of snow. But it may not be over yet.

Pictured here is a view of the cloudy sky looking out past Ropes Beach in Cotuit towards Sampson's Island and beyond into Nantucket Sound. In the foreground, the 'Thermopylae' - an oyster rig - harbors in the shallow bay in the company of a few skiffs.

Word is that eastern Mass out towards 495 received up to 2' of snow. That should keep them busy digging for awhile! Here on the Cape, although the wind whipped up slightly, and denser flurries fell for a short while, it wasn't even worth shoveling the end of the driveway.

A non-event at best. Right up there with Hurricane Earl.
