Crazy Night
Curious as to how those south of us experienced this latest storm that worked up the coast yesterday. We got wacked pretty hard up here. Many schools are closed, trees and limbs are down all over the place and power is out for about 93 percent of the affected areas. Ours was out since about 1 am but had been restored by mid morning. Little Honda generator to the rescue again to keep the refrigerator cold along with running a few lights. |

Got up Sunday morning to no rain at all, but plenty of wind all day. The temps dropped as the day went on, then down to 36 degrees last night, with 32 in some outlying areas. By Friday it's back up to 80. |

That's colder than anything we've seen up here so far this fall. Maybe I should cross South Carolina off the "maybe" list. :-) |

It wasn't exactly tropical but temps were almost always above freezing and we only had one very light dusting of snow. You would have thought it was a blizzard however based on how people were acting. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com |

You would have thought it was a blizzard however based on how people were acting. Ah, Ft. Jackson. Yes, we can get a light snow and everything shuts down. No bread or milk in the stores, school lets out, and everyone goes home. It's a little crazy, but you have to remember that there are no snow tires, no snow plows, and no salt. The DOT will sand the overpasses and bridges, but that's about it. Oh, and most people don't have a clue how to drive in snow. The quattro on the Audi eats it up. |

I guess anything that was going to get blown away blew away 6 weeks ago. |

It must have intensified as it worked it's way up the coast. It's being referred to as the "Surprise" storm around here, not due to the heavy rains but the 50 mph sustained winds and gusts over 80 mph. One place in New Hampshire recorded a 132 mph gust. Here in the city the gusts hit 72 kph this afternoon with some rain. last night I lashed the 10' long aluminum and plywood platforms to the staging I set up in front of the house re my painting project. Now I just need a few more nice dry days at 10 C or above so I can finish up. Over all we've had a very nice October. |
