Yes, at 7:30 PM tonight our power went on. We were in the dark for a total of 123 hours. No lights, no heat, no indoor cooking. I am glad that is over. Here are a few photos I took:
October 13 about 9 AM
Same day and time but looking north:
The damage at my dad's house. That's Kelly's butt in the photo
Looking from my dad's backyard
Pile of debris after cleaning up at my dad's house. This was taken today.
We really didn't have much damage at our house. We lost part of the gutter on the garage and a couple tree limbs. Our trees are younger so they weren't damaged much.

Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Hopefully, you'll have a nice, dry winter from here on out.

Only a couple branches here and there. My dad had all four trees in his yard damaged. Each tree was 40+ years old. I think the two maple trees may have to be cut down.

Hey Shep, Colvin Blvd only lost power for about a day or so.
DON - I used to live on Parker Blvd. not Colvin, I think Parker is only about a mile and a half from your place.
I can remember some real snowstorms from back in the day, but can't remember one so early in the season. WOW.

I grew up in upstate New York (Syracuse area), went to college in Rochester and lived there for 12 years, and have good friends from the Clarence / Tonawanda / Buffalo area.
I got tired of the looooong winters and finally moved south to Georgia a few years ago. The "cold snap" we had last weekend amounted to low 60s during the day and into the 40s at night.... balmy, compared to New York!
