Then Came the Nor'easter
I had done okay in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. I only lost power for about 10 hours and the house was all right.
Then Wednesday we got hit with a nor'easter that dropped about 4 inches of very wet heavy snow on parts of Long Island and, naturally, brought down more trees and power lines. Add another 50,000+ outages to the 200,000+ households and businesses still without power after Sandy ... my house included.
The local power company has "estimated" that my power will be back today but I ain't counting on it.
I fortunately have been able to stay with a friend and am better off than many around here. But life's still topsy-turvy and posting may remain spotty.
