The event of the 9th and 10th was a night event. I do not have pictures of this event. Nantucket awoke on the morning of the 9th to overcast conditions. Throughout the day the winds grew steadily out of the Northeast. Around 4 o'clock the first major gusts occurred, these were at 23 MPH. The first rain drops fell at 5:30 PM, and grew steadier as the evening progressed. By the late evening hours, the rain fell heavily, and the peak wind gust for the 9th, 41 mi/hr, occurred just before Midnight.
Throughout the early hours, the wind grew steadily, and the highest gust recorded from the system occurred around 3 AM on the 10th. The rain kicked over to snow around 2 AM on the 10th. No accumulation was measured from the storm. The storm left the region quickly, and by 1 PM on the 10th.
There were no damages reported on the island. There was school on the 10th, despite the forecast for snow. Temperatures were too warm for snow to stick. The center passed over the island, and the deepest pressure, was 985 millibars.
