I know how you feel after winding up on my hip in our driveway, yesterday. The positive was I realized my bones must still be pretty firm since all I have are a few aches.
Boy it sure was a nice day at the gun range shooting off my .38, in a tee-shirt.
hehe..........yeah I know that was mean.

Well you've a clear view across the reach to the south where you are. Lowering cloud cover over here to the westard of you.
I thought you were in Cohasset. -Tom
Actually it's not too bad here. Sweatshirt weather here today. :) T-shirt weather tomorrow. :)
No, I sure didn't. The pistol was a co-2 pellet meant for pest control.
In one of my earlier posts I bragged about having enough food, wine, gin, etc. I was wrong. I'm out of wine and I have no lunchmeat for lunch tomorrow. Truth be known, I think I'm snowed in. I have a small Honda Del Sol and the sub hasn't been plowed so I'm not going anywhere for a while.
I'm thinking about dressing up real warm and hiking the mile to the ATM, then the grocery store then the video store..........
Still thinking.......LOL!
I too am in Scituate.Ever spend any time at Wompatuck State Park?
I've got some great pics of weird mushrooms from that park - I think I'll take the new digital camera there next May/June (As much as this whiteout denies it, lush green and warm zephyrs will be here before ya know it!)
Moved from the big house to a condo last year.
It's 12 F now and we expect 18 to 24 in of snow in Carteret, NJ. Were in that band that's really pounding right now.
I vividly remember the Blizzard of '78 because I was in the middle of it - it was sheer hell for a lot of people.
I just sent you a freepmail - Tom
I live right off Torrington Road, in Goshen. You probably know the exact location: It's where Torrington and Goshen meet.
I'll be out at first light tomorrow, if possible, to get more pictures. I'll definately have to check out the fairgrounds, I have heard stories from the past...
Yup. There were a few times when it felt good to be the only one in the neighborhood with light, TV, heat and a running fridge.
Would you guys recommend a good generator? I know it's too late now but for future reference. Thanks.
Yu haven't lived there long then. My sister lives right near you, on Lovers Lane. The home I owned was on Allen Rd., not far from you either.
I can sort of guess which house yes. Not precisely though. Somewhere around where Klug Hill comes out onto rt 4
alot of people post about the "fun" of snow - but this is serious storm, there will be many deaths and injuries attributed to this.
I lived on the North side of Chicago during that blizzard and the streets looked exactly like that: snow was compacted even HIGHER, and people were snowshoeing over the top of it, down them middle of sidestreets with their cameras, taking pictures like tourists in a foreign land.
The term "cabin fever" was bandied about for the first time in my memory. Nobody could very easily leave their houses or apartments. My wife and I took to sleeping late that week, and would get up feeling kind of spacey or high, and watch the newscasters in that frame of mind, and they all started to look like very comical characters indeed. But the blizzard started for real in Chicago on New Year's Eve, so we think of it as the blizzard of '79.
You will drive thru the drifts by the country club too, those can get higher than at the fair grounds
