Calm Before the Nor'easter

 Not for nuthin'…. But….. take a good look at New England this morning.

These are three live webcams at 8:40 AM Thursday. Marblehead Harbor is sunny and flat calm, with every mooring still full. Up on Mount Washington the summit is clear, with fog settling into the valleys below. Over in Waitsfield, Vermont, the sun is on the Great Eddy covered bridge, and the first fall color is coming in along the Mad River.

Enjoy it while it lasts. A rare September nor'easter rolls in Friday afternoon, and by Saturday that harbor is going to look a whole lot different. If you haven't gotten ready yet, the MOAM's checklist is right here: Batten Down the Hatches. And if you've still got a boat on one of those moorings, today's the day to haul it or double up the lines.

MOAM Out.
