Power restored about 4:20 PM (Wed), here -- we were without power for two days and 20 minutes.

Other than the annoyance of being without electricity, we got off fairly lightly with the storm. Mostly small branches in the driveway, though one pretty good sized one in the turnaround -- but I was still able to drag it out of the way. The OTHER annoyance is the almost dead branch of the oak that overhangs the driveway up by the road (where we park the car during a snowstorm) is still there. I keep hoping it will come down sometime when the car ISN'T parked in the general vicinity. It may be at the head of the driveway, but it's actually on our down-the-hill neighbors' land.

Yesterday alternated between rain and sun. Last night we had a thunderstorm, though, and from the news this morning, New Hampshire had some microbursts during that storm, but WEVO didn't say where.

Saw Jeri at McDonald's this morning when I was picking up coffee and breakfast for Tom and me. Cancelled our "avoid the trick or treaters" dinner tonight since we didn't know how long the power would be out so we'd have to go out for pizza or something. I was definitely getting cranky this morning even though I should be used to losing power for extended periods by now.
