Aw, I wish I could, dear one! The sun was out this morning, but it has retreated behind the clouds again. We have a 30% chance of rain again today, and the promise of a sunny day is broken.
But there were puffy white clouds and a blue sky for a short time earlier this morning. I enjoyed the light and beauty, but the dreary weather has returned.
Go away, Sandy!! Ain’t you done yet? Sheesh!

Thanks for asking ... we’re fine in Northern VA. Dodged a major bullet. Lost power for a coupla hours and that was about it. I had the bunker fully stocked and ready to go. Fortunately, we didn’t need it.
However, I have several friends in NY/NJ/CT that I still can’t get thru to. Fortunately, daughter who lives in NYC is in London this week, and her husband was in DC, so they’re good, too.
Great that you are running this thread. A nice service for fellow FReepers.

Friends family and neighbors work for utility companies and were on the road before the storm ended. Will report any details they send home...Most expect to be gone for up to a month.

Alerted by Laz ping to this thread. North Shore MA fared well. I never lost power and all power restored to here by yesterday.
Apparently a nor’easter coming next week and it may be our turn this time.
I work for a well known CATV company and if true I’ll be busy next week

Sounds like a good trade for your neighbors.

It’s not Sandy.
Rumor has it there’s a nor’easter brewing.
Won’t be nearly the magnitude by any stretch of the imagination, but they do not need any more wind or rain/snow.

The worst part about the storm for me personally is now it’s going to be even more difficult to find a job for a little while since a huge portion of Manhattan got wrecked.

Pandoraou812 checking in. We never lost power but everything around us is a mess. I am 20 min from Atlantic City on a farm & it is pretty bad in some areas. My main issue with losing power is having a well with the horses & animals. We aren't getting much info on what is really going on right here. Parts of my town have no power. Up where I used to live in Brick they got hit badly. I think all the boardwalks are gone & hearing they expect to find more bodies on route 35 from Pt Pleasant to Seaside Hts. Now I hear a new storm may come our way. I hope not. I had ten trees fall in the summer from some freak storm & didn't have power for 5 days. Prayers to all who are suffering.

Great to hear from you. I am so glad to know you’re OK.
Do you have a wood stove?
You’ll be set for heat for years.

Was supposed to be a nice day here today,,,, it ain’t. Steady drizzle. 54,000 still without power in Cuyahoga County. No problems here though.

If Obama gets re-elected, electrical blackouts may become the new normal, so get prepared.
Seriously, electrical outages aren’t the end of the world, especially when temperatures are not extreme.

South Coast of Massachusetts,about 10 miles inland. Nothing to report. We were without power for about 12 hours, we were fortunate. The actual shoreline didn’t fare as well.

We have a worthless fireplace insert which needs electric to blow the hot air out. I figure we will freeze in this old house if I don’t get a natural gas generator asap. Seems power goes out often down here. We do have enough wood for yrs. Good wood like black walnut, oak & cherry. Just needs to season. Glad to be back on FR, that chemo took so much out of me. Now I just pray it works. My doctor lost his house & I can’t get blood test results until Nov 13th..
