Thread Name: BS: NorEast Blizzard? Batten down & check in
Subject: RE: BS: NorEast Blizzard? Batten down & check in
Well, late Tuesday night, and most of the snow has stopped. I'm down in Seacoast New Hampshire, near Jeri, Bat Goddess, and others. I must have about 8-10" of new snow. I live on a private road which has been plowed at least once, and the folks with SUVs are getting in and out. I figure I'll go out and shovel out my car tomorrow, and get into town.
Since I spent most of my youth in NH, I made sure that my current place had gas heat and hot water, and I keep candles and lamps around, but have not needed them during this storm. Lots of non-perishable food on hand, including the makings for hot chocolate, and I usually keep jugs of water in case the power dies, so the pump won't run.
The nice thing about storms like this is the peace and quiet. Even the snow mobiles have called it quits, so all we can hear is whatever wind blows, and the occasional clump of snow falling.
