Ptown is always a disaster after storms. I remember a few years ago, the Provincetown Inn had so much water that it fried the taps in the basement. They wanted me to go in there while still flooded, meaning I'd need to swim around.... hahaha umm no!
Chris remember how much of the old Marconi station was still there when we were kids? This reminds me of Luke 6:47-49. Small town Iowa here, I've got 19+ hours clearing snow in the past 9 days. Temps below zero, wind chill to -40 and i was still out walking the dog. We know how to dress in layers out here. But the laundry piles up quick. 19+ hours? yah, I'm doing some for the neighbors, my 17 year old snowblower died and I did a bunch of it by hand. 66 years old and still shoveling when it is below zero and the sun hasn't even come up yet. I finally got to a new snow blower after it was safe to drive. I was using it on a drift in the neighbors driveway that was most of five feet tall and days old. More snow coming tomorrow. Good to hear you again.
Hey Phil, Your getting too old to be shoveling all that snow. That’s why people have kids so they can do it. lol Living by the sea, I try to wait until the hot sun and salty air melt the snow. Very rarely do I have to make a path through a snow drift but on occasion it does happen. The other thing, where I live the high winds tend to blow the snow off the exposed driveway and into the woods. Get lucky there most storms. Flooding like we’ve had these past 2 storms is new to me. I had to cancel my flood insurance two years ago because it got too expensive. Now I pray and keep my fingers crossed. Exercise is good to keep you healthy and strong but we have to keep reminding ourselves that we are getting older. My mind doesn’t believe it but my body tells me so. Always good to hear from you my friend.
@@SaltyheadAdventures I appreciate the concern. The walking the past couple years has been a great thing. And I'm not working snow like a teen. Little shovel fulls, pushing snow rather than carrying. And after clearing it the first time taking a break, have a snack, a bunch of water then go out with a scraper and remove the crust from the driveway. Then I go out the next day and get some more scraped. Because my wife has had both knees replaced and doesn't have the balance she once did. She needs a solid place to walk. And I take pride in my clear driveway. And with all the shoveling, snowblowing and scraping I've cut way back on walking the dog. We are barely averaging a mile a day this month. As far as the flooding do you have a plan B? Do you have spare clothes at your sister's home or at Anna's if you have to get out of Dodge? At least the north east wind doesn't blow waves directly into the side of Yarmouth that you live in.
The west end always floods. Back in the 70s us kids would go get people out of their houses by pulling a dingy around. It all looks about the same. Nice video though :)

I didn’t see it but I was told someone was paddling around in a canoe down Commercial Street. Sign of the times, lol
