It's really crappy here at my parent's house, but I'm off to Florida in about 30 minutes!

Lucky.. can I come?


Hopefully easy day today. Just got my big project out of the way.

Getting off at 11:30 to go to the dentist (), and not going back to work after. (Because it's an hour drive home, would be a waste. And I'm lazy.)

I bought my two Christmas gifts at the liquor store.

Bought my parents and my boss a bottle of Captain Morgan.

All I had to get. I love being single at Christmastime.

It could be worse... It could have been ice:

We had no power for 6 days, just got it back night before last.

The whole of southern New Hampshire and Massechusetts was somewhat like this:


Then we got 4 inches of snow, and today we are expecting 6-10 inches with a follow up on Sunday of 3-6 inches of snow.

Needless to say I parked the Yaris in the garage and have ordered snow tires for it!

Oh, and the rest of the pictures are here

Great pictures. I was in the southern areas of VT and NY adjacent to VT southern areas (Troy and Albany) wow did those areas get hit hard too.

It is not unlike the ice storms we have had before. Seems like the Bass and Poplar trees snap and take others with them.... Birch will bend to the ground and recover. All sugaring wood now.

Ice storms suck. We get those here more than snow, not as bad as that, but it still sucks.

I won't miss it a bit. At all. Not one iota.
