I'm pretty skeptical at this time that the news has hyped it up for Maine a little too much. I know we'll get snow but really I don't see it as much of anything more than our typical here. The winds may be a bit intense though.

Guess I'll wait and see...

Maybe I can make it home after all

I get out at 10.....lots of snow on the cars already...I'm needing to go out to my car for my dinner...but really not WANTING to....and I realllly don't want that 500 dollar fine just for trying to get home...frick and frack....I don't want to sleep here tonight...there is a ghost cat and he scares me....

The coastal regions will be getting it worse... You scoot on home and be safe then. Send someone else out for the dinner. A fine for driving home?? Wtf??

As for the ghost cat... just tell it the litter box is in the basement.

Stay put, Cinn! It's better for you to be safe and warm, even though i know how much it sucks to be stuck someplace other than home.

Ghost cat won't hurt you!

Says YOU! He's forever appearing just when my mind is the least prepared...it's like he KNOWS...sigh...I'm staying here...I just cleared off my car...it's not BAD...but it's not good either...it's wet icy snow...

The plow dudes are out showing us some love though!

And of course, the college kids are partying...lol must be wonderful not to have a care in the world...I can barely remember those days.... Come to think of it...did I EVER have those days???

I can say, they are comparing this to the blizzard of 78...which I was very tiny for...the snow was up past my waist! But gosh it was fun then...this snow is actually making me long for some skiing... I haven't been in YEARS! Something to think about using all my OT loot for...

And it sure is pretty...the yin and yang of New England.... I'm gonna be posting some Frost soon...I can FEEL it!

I'm really impressed with the storm savviness of everyone on this thread. People are calculating the trajectory of a tree's fall, worrying about livestock, cooking food that will be delicious in case the power goes out, checking their generators, putting snow plows on their trucks—

I think I have a crush on the entire thread. Competency is a huge turn on for me.

And I feel really frivolous, because here I am and the sky is this weird bright lavender color, and there are no jets that appear like a sudden huge flickering star, because the airports are closed. NYC is under a blizzard warning and the streets are empty, weird for a Friday night—but after Sandy, people learned to listen to the mayor when he said to stay inside.

Sorry I got off track, I was trying to say, I feel so frivolous because my storm preparedness consisted of buying a couple bottles of wine and going through pay per view to see if there are any good movies on. And now here I am, having watched two episodes of Seinfeld back to back, laughing like a lunatic, eating frozen grapes and having a nice glass of white wine.

Once in a while I go over to the back door—I'm on the 9th floor and it opens to my balcony—and I look down at the street, and then look up at the sky, and then I look into the windows of the people across the street, and notice that their kitchen cabinetry is exactly like mine, and here and there you see a barbecue or a deck chair that should have been brought inside, that kind of thing.

There's a nice grocery store across the street, and they're open till 10. If I start craving protein, I can go over for some, I don't know, fresh shrimp or something. They have really good seafood. I feel bad for the fish on ice, they look so stunned, but they do have good seafood.

Besides frozen grapes I have fennel, beets, red cabbage and onions that I love to saute with lots of ginger. I have yams, cereal, frozen waffles, quinoa, popcorn.

I’m worried that the storm will make it impossible to drive or take the train out tomorrow to see the woman I’m having a longstanding relationship with. They just moved her father to a hospice, and are letting go of him now, and helping him let go. She cried for only the second time since I’ve known her (the first was when she learned how sick her father was, about a year ago), tonight on the phone.

It’s eerily quiet outside right now. Not a snowflake in the sky. But now that I’ve written that, I’m hearing the wind a little more.

fishinabaggie · 02-08-2013, 09:22 PM

Things are ok over here so far in Western Massachusetts
Snow pounding down. Too freaking cold and windy to go out to shovel!
Outlaw is stuck at work doing another 16 hour shift..she did one yesterday also!
There were a lot of call outs at her job and since she is the supervisor, she is mandated to stay.
I am doing laundry and vacuuming and doing a lot of laying around in between domestic endeavors.
Chatted with my Jesse and laughed like ding-a-lings, as usual. We are incorrigible! LOL
I wanna make soup while we have the power to make it! BUT, I am doing such a fine job of laying about over here................
The house is creaking in the gusts. The cats keep looking at me like I am responsible for the noise. Haughtily looking at me.
I am going to make tea.
Beasts of the Southern Wild was absolutely spellbinding!
Stay safe and warm everyone. It's New England weather.....we are used to it!

Full brunt of storm has arrived. Windows and doors are caked with snow and ice. Door is frozen shut. Have no clue what is going on out there which is probably a good thing.

Winds have reached hurricane force. Thankfully they are coming more from the north than the northeast. Northeast hits me dead on. Windchills in the single digits.

More than half the Cape is without power. Half this town is without power. Amazed it has held this long.

Poor cat came out of the closet long enough to eat a few mouthfuls. Then something landed on the roof and she was gone again. Think she actually pulled the door shut after her. Trying not to think about how long it is going to take to get the fur off the clothes she is hiding behind.

Just another chapter in the joys of coastal living. Think I will go meditate on summer at the beach.

I want to second IslandScout's post! I appreciate everyone checking in but am really in awe (and relieved) to see folks handling the storm in stride.

Keep checking in, please!
