I was a little affected by it but the wife says I ain't been right for years.
Seriously, our power blinked twice just long enough to make the TV and computers reboot. We had awful wind for almost 3 days and over 3" of rain.Things were not bad at all. Lots of folks around lost power for a day or 2 but all are back on.

Anybody heard from Zoom and Doc up there?
Sandy treated us pretty rough in western maryland
We got pretty well hammered out here in western Maryland. Weather service recorded 28" of heavy snow in Red House, our place is higher up the mountain and probably saw closer to 3' of snow.
We had a real close call when 50 foot hemlock came down within inches of the house but no damage. Things are still pretty rough in these parts, no power for more than 2,000 homes and thousands upon thousands of downed trees throughout the county. Low tonight is going to be about 20 degrees. The local utility-along with the state and national guard-have been working 24/7 to get us restored and hope to have everyone back by Tuesday night.
I'll send some pictures if I can figure out how to load 'em.
Sure am glad I put a 5,000 lb winch on the rtv900 this spring as I never would have got my driveway cleared of fallen trees without it.

They are both fine. Folks in WV got a bunch of snow. The next storm that is brewing up for Wed. and Thurs. will hit the same areas again. We expect some snow but just east of here should get the most accumulation.

Thanks muleman. Glad to hear you other members are ok Treehouse and 20/20.
I was all prepped and nothing but rain and wind. I haven't been in the woods to check for downed trees but I'm sure there's some there.
I don't know that we have many members along the coast but those folks are hurting bad. Those of us who live in the sticks are usually better prepared to deal with power failures etc. A week without power after a bad ice storm years ago taught me a lot. Folks in NJ and Staten island are used to the utility and government taking care of things and most have not prepared at all when something like this happens. Now the cold has rolled in and another storm is building to bring a lesser version of Sandy to the same areas. There are thousands who have no home to go back to. Those are the folks who need our prayers.
Younger Daughter (bicycle girl) is presently a grad student at Princeton, which is inland in New Jersey. The center of the storm must have passed within a few miles. The campus had a lot of down trees and had to switch on their generators but apparently there was little serious impact.
But Younger Daughter wasn't present during the chaos. That was the week she visited China on semester break with a group of fellow students.
This kid must get her luck and smarts from my wife .......
