Just got back from the Portsmouth wind turbine construction site where the crew was repositioning the crane, and according to EDC chair Rich Talipsky, they will be ready after 12:30, and if there is a break in the weather for about an hour, they will try to get the hub and blades mounted. According to the regional doppler on the Weather Channel, it looks like there may be a break approaching from the south, so we may luck out.

There was a steady stream of die-hard turbine fans popping by the parking lot, and I had a chance to chill (literally) with a couple of the other folks who've been covering the event locally, Bruce Ryerson (Flickr, blog) and Judy Tate (web site.)

Update: As of 3:30, with a freezing drizzle coming down, the prospects for anything happening today are dim.
