is the thread dead? or has everyone gone to sleep???

I'm still up, for a few more minutes! We had a double feature tonight, I Robot , which I enjoyed for it's sparkling repartee between Will Smith and 'Sunny', then Man on Fire, a truly violent movie about the bodyguard of a little girl who goes on a revenge rampage after she's kidnapped, to get the ones who killed her. It was extremely violent, but very satisfying, and even involves some redemption in the end.

The wind is HOWLING outside, and it looks like we've had about 8" of snow so far, but it's hard to tell because of the drifting because of the wind. SSQ said he'd heard they were going to be having hurricane force winds out on the Cape. A true Nor'easter. Gonna check weather.com one more time and hit the hay.

Night all!

Just got this info off weather.com:

JUST BEFORE 11 PM... WINDS GUSTED TO 57 MPH AT THE BLUE HILL OBSERVATORY AND THE ELEVATED PLATFORM OF THE BUZZARDS BAY CMAN STATION HAS REPORTED A WIND GUST TO 77 MPH..

Yep, them's hurricane strength winds. There's a blizzard warning in effect until 6pm Sunday night, and they're telling folks to NOT go outside because of the winds and drifting snow because of the possibility of losing your bearings and getting lost in the snow. That would be VEY bad.
Northwest RI is supposed to get almost 3' of snow. YOWSERS! We're only about 30 miles north of that!
