Well everyone in the new england area is well aware of the abundance of weather crap
we have been dealt since wow probably starting with the heavy rain and wind storm in july,
to be followed by Irene which came in not only on high tide but also a full moon, now we have wind snow
ice and just all around mayhem. I just litterally got thru settling all storm related damages, cleanups
and insurence dealings. Well today its been snowing now since 11am now 9:23pm- my entire fence
surrounding the backyard is trashed as huge oak branches just randomly crushed it, my favorite maple
tree which has graced the front yard since I brought seeds back fro arlington after my grandfathers death
in 1971 is laying not trashed but litterally half in my yard and half on the womans house next door
(right on her power and tv lines) and they are saying that wind will pickup big time and snow will
continue to 2-3 am? wtf- we in the north east are tired to say the least.

so us people in CT, and NY n Mass and prob the whole north east corridor need help.

send lawyers, guns and money, the " xxxx" has hit the fan

claim 1 house robbed jan 17th claim 2 water damage from flooding rain storms july
claim 3 Irene geesh claim 4 wtf do I tell em now?

plenty of pictures and actual solid proof-geesh when will it end.
I seriously would like to know who did what wrong up this way, so we can settle

this coin always made me happy:

    6 inches of slop here in CT, winds sustained 25-30, gusts 40-45.
    Waiting for the power to go out, most trees still have their leaves.

Good luck to ya! Stay warm and stay safe!

    Man that's terrible.

    Here's hoping 2012 is better, eh?

    Also, that nickel you posted is defective and missing an S. I'm afraid it's just another way you got hosed this year :/ At least I can make this one right. Send it to me, and I will send you a really shiny one that has the S you got got gyped out of on that one!
    Sell me a coin or three!

    Near route 128 and the Pike, in Mass, we are in a small corridor that gets it good, and we have 4" or more right now, and it'll be 'blizzard conditions' in the morning. All I had to dowas check shear pins on the snowblower, fill the gas cans, run the 'blower..........all set for a one day inconvenience.....it'l be gone bu Monday afternoon, Tuesday at the latest. But, it'll give me a chance to get the leaves cleaned up earlier this year than normal...they should all be off the trees by tomorrow......so much for 'leaf peeping'...there'll be no color changes this year, they'll all be buried under the 10-12" of snow we're getting (can't wait to see how much our place in NH gets).
    I'll come up with something.

    Best of luck to you guys in the NE!
    I have family out there and some have been stuck in traffic/on the roads due to the weather and having to go into work (hospital, so they feel the need to go when they are scheduled or called in).

    It's been a harsh year for you, Bill, and I hope that it gets out of the way and next year is a complete 180!

    Little windy this evening out here on the island in Bokeelia, and 2"+ of rain yesterday, but 65 outside right now and near 80 is forecast for tomorrow. Looking forward to some shelling in the morning. I'm familiar with noreasters having lived in Jersey in a past llife, but they say this is an "anomaly" for snow this early in the year and not an indicator of what's to come, but you just got to wonder what the deal is up there this year.

    yes its sunny this morning, and luckily we never lost power. Its kind of wierd as looking outside with the ice and snow still on the trees, it looks as if someone walked by and just bent them all over.

    well I was thinking thursday that Id have nothing to do today, seems like I was wrong there.

    oh and the "its missing an "s"" comment really cracked me up image
