    Jim, no worries, I didn’t even get flooding with Sandy. I am far enough from water not to worry about flooding.

    I was supposed to fly from RSW to BOS this AM. My flight is officially "delayed," but the airline has told me unofficially that it will be cancelled. With predicted wind gusts to 75 mph in Boston, I wasn't going to go today anyhoo.

    No snow accumulation at all. Lots of wind and rain, no flooding. Trees down in Jersey and L.I. Everything is good here.

    I'm near Mike, but a bit south in upper Bucks county Pa.
    That was a mean storm! Snowed from 10 am to 10pm. Heavy snow rates and high winds made for poor visibility, snarled traffic and power outages.
    The power flickering on/off made my work day a pita as equipment kept going down. I was real glad when my shift was over and I got to enjoy the growler of 'Captains Daughter' IPA I picked up on the way in!

    We had about 2.5 inches of snow, bit of wind. Sunny here now.

    How about 26” of very heavy, wet snow here in the hill towns just west of Albany, NY!? Snowed from 10pm Thursday night until 8pm last night. Not a lot of wind but the generator was ready.

    When you see tire chains on the tandem axle dump trucks used for plowing, you know it’s a serious storm. Some places ~10 miles from us got 35”.

    The long range models suggest there may be another Nor'easter around Wednesday or Thursday of next week. Stay tuned.

    There was a young boy who lived in Rick Martinez's neighborhood who died when a large tree destroyed a home. That is so sad.

    My sister-in-law in Norton, MA is without power and has had four trees come down on her property. Fortunately she has a generator.

    We got about a foot of heavy wet snow. Power went out Friday, still out now. Power company is saying could be Wednesday before restored. Wife is there for work, so has the generator keeping things going.

    Been out of powet since friday afternoon & they are saying it will be back by till Tuesday or Wednesday . Many trees down in the area & road closures. Second worse store I have seen in the area in the last 40 years. Only had about 3" of heavy snow but the winds where terrible. Still have pretty good gusts right now.

    It is looking like another Nor'easter will develop just off the east coast this week.

    Local weather is saying this will be a much smaller storm with more snow coverage, but less totals. We will see.

    I lost power at 9 AM Friday and its still out. Northern Virginia is covered in old trees and I think we lost half of them this weekend. Roads closed, lines down, what a mess. They are saying I should have power back BY TUESDAY! I'm on a well and you know what that means! They predicted this last Monday, of course it caught Dominion Power by surprise.... At least I have internet when the generators running.
