Storm Batters NY, New England, Dumping More Than A Foot Of Snow; 350,000 Lose Power

[PotatoChip]

25. Done, and thanks.

In fact, I'm now just about coffee'd out already. Have that annoying 'tired and wired' kind of feeling, but it's ok if I don't get any more sleep... I've got the whole day ahead for that in my cozy, woodheated home and plenty of good reading material in case the power goes out. Plus, we won't be bothering w/cleanup until this is over. With the gusting winds, it'd be silly not to wait with all of the drifting snow.

I feel bad for others, but I'm actually kind of enjoying this since I don't have to go anywhere. Unfortunately, the SO had to go and fill in for the absent employee, but he will have a nice New England boiled ham dinner when he gets home, whether the power goes out or not. It's in the crockpot right now, but if the power goes out, I can still use my gas stove and oven.

I hope everyone else is doing alright though...

Thanks for the advice and concern. It's times like these when I really appreciate the feeling of community and kindness of other DUers!
