Between Storms

Okay, we're between storms right now. Today is the calm before. It's 36 degrees, cloudy, damp, still and mild as the temps will be in the mid to upper 40's. There's still an incredible amount of meltdown and run-off as the piles of snow are shrinking right in front of our eyes. Unfortunately all the intense rain from yesterday accelerated the melting and made for some major flooding in the backyard and in many areas around town. The water was extremely close to the hot tub as well as getting into our Shed. Thanks to two borrowed pumps, we got a handle on it and suffered no damage. To keep you in the know for what's coming...a Nor'wester is headed here! A "rare" storm. Not sure about the sound of that. One thing's for sure, a "nor'wester" will prevent tidal flooding since the winds are in a different direction. Speaking of winds, there's extreme low pressure attached with this storm which will bring intense high impact winds. 50mph gusts all through a 24 hour period running Thursday into Friday. Predicted snow accumulation in WW is 4-8 inches. I'm thinking "how's the new wiring out there going to handle that"? I'm also thinking "thank goodness the freezer's still empty and I still have candles ready to go"! More to come...
