Windfinder predicts that the snow storm coming this Sunday will have a north-east component as the system approaches. That’s the direction that affects the Chappy Ferry the most negatively. A breeze of even thirty knots makes entering the Chappy slip a challenge, especially if the propellers are becoming clogged with seaweed. The most recent storm came through with the wind speed, wind direction and snow depth very close to the predictions. It’s worth noting that the prediction for this coming storm is that it will worsen as it passes over the Islands.
