Afternoon SuziQ - how did you guys make out on the snow? We’ve heard some areas got quite a bit.

We only got about 6-8". A town west and north of here, where a Tea Party friend lives, got 22"!! We didn't lose power at our house; we had some flickers on Sat. night, and the lights went out for a couple of seconds, but that was really all of it. I guess it must have gone off at some time during the night, because the clocks on the kitchen appliances were wrong in the morning, but it must not have stayed off for too long. There are some areas in a couple of neighboring towns that STILL don't have their power back. The kids were all off school today, in all the area towns, and a couple of towns have even postponed Trick-or-Treating until Thursday, because with the power out, there are no street lights.

The biggest problem was that the heavy, wet snow fell on trees that still had their leaves on them, and the branches either drooped onto power lines, or they broke and fell on the lines. There are a lot of limbs down, all over our town, and the neighboring ones.
