Well, I suppose the trolls are having fun lately but I wouldn't know...
We have a hole in the roof with a limb sticking through. There is at
least 50 trees down and demolished within 150 yards of my house alone,
the whole state is similar. We drove 40 miles yesterday in search of
gasoline, no info available as the cell and cable are all down, very
sketchy internet. Main state highways haven't even begun to be addressed
yet, it's like a maze just to go down route five with the lines down and
trees still in the road. Unfortunately, the generator I have won't do
220 to run the water so we can't run the furnace either like I used to
be able to do in the other place. I have never rewired a deep well pump
and don't even know if ours can be done... getting pretty cold here, the
governor thinks this will be at least a week or more. Shipping the
animals off today to a friend upstate who has power, trying to find a
cup of coffee is crazy. No banks, cash only everywhere.

Later guys...

Hope you can make the best of the situation. There were a bunch of
people from Connecticut filling up at the local gas station yesterday.

Tree damaged doesn't appear that bad here but we had a severe ice
storm a few years back that took down most of the weak trees. Still,
power is out a my place and not expected to be restored until late
Thursday night.

Fortunately I had just finished installing a pellet stove that can run
off of 12 volts. I have it hooked up to the three batteries from the
boat so I've got heat covered. I'm only running my generator often
enough to keep the fridge cold and heat water for showers.

On a sad note there was a fatal car crash blamed on the weather just
around the corner.
