Hi. How's the weather where you are? It's pretty darn cold here. Actually it's been about 32 for the past several hours and has just recently warmed up to 34. At this rate, it will take a loooong time for the city to melt, even with the thousands of tons of salt being flung about.
Thanks to our underground lines, we are one of the few with electricity. They are saying that .6 million people are without power, and it will probably be more than a week before they can get power restored to everybody. I surely feel sorry for those crews - everyone else gets off work (including me!) and they get to work overtime.
It's been declared a state of emergency by the governor or the President or somebody unimportant like that, and everything is postponed. If we can manage to keep those hazardous ice laden trees from smashing our house to smithereens (and we don't have a good history with such things), all we'll have left to deal with is Cabin Fever.

Glad you are all warm and safe, at least for now, hoping it will stay that way, and we're sooooo glad the storm didn't come a week earlier!! GM in LC
That's funny. It's been in the mid 70's all day and just as humid as ever "douwwn Seeouth o' thu border".
Watch for falling limbs.

I am in Taos, NM today through tomorrow and there is 6 in of snow and a high of 25 deg. It has dropped to 8 deg by now and should be around zero in the morning. Snow is easier to deal with than ice, much lighter and prettier. So glad you have power and an intact roof. Great pictures.
