The Great 2018 Northeaster(s)

[digitS']

As I was lifting the pot to make coffee this morning, the lights flicked.

I'm not sure what it might have been about. Electricity rarely goes off here. I doubt if I have been more than 10 miles from a hydroelectric dam in the last 30 years. Maybe a car hit a power pole.

Anyway, my immediate involuntary thoughts were of olde people in the cold, food decaying in the fridge while they cooked something with a small fire on the ground, in the backyard ...

So many trees came down crews have not even started working on wires. All about opening up roads that blocked by fallen trees.

Dw family up in westerner ny has been without power for the last 4 days yesterday they finally got the road cleared of trees. Family has been living at her dads house since he has a whole house generator. They said the power should be up sometime today....

I am hoping to get power today, but mayor said could be Tue Wed. I went to home depot and bought 3 more gas cans. At least there is no gas shortage like during Sandy

My neighbors got their power at midnight last night. We were so lucky. Our furnace and hot water heater would have been ruined if we had no power to pump the cellar. Not to mention 40 years of junk the collects in a cellar. Why we don't have a generator is just crazy.

The River has been higher before-it did not go over the road. But you can see how little of the tunnel is visible. My bad neighbor had her son-in- law and his Dad cut the trees off of my daylily beds-they are nice people. The were very respectful of my gardens. Not always so with, no offense, men.

Glad you're safe and doing ok. Hope everything gets somewhat fixed soon.

@catjac1975 saw my Friday comment about walking thru the office building's pea gravel mulched flower beds instead of their icy sidewalks! !!

Happy things are working out okay on your property. Hey. It won't be best to leave the house and town the next time a Nor'easter shows up but ...

Maybe you can better enjoy watching it here: http://rammb-slider.cira.colostate.edu

What a pretty place you live in Cat. Glad the trees got taken care of and you and your husband didn't have to do all the labor.
