Pray for no power outages here on Long Island!

[L I Jane]

I'm all set with 2 kerosene heaters for the greenhouse ready to light if we lose power.If it doesn't happen tonight hopefully we can make some arrangements to get the generator set up outside if we can clear enough snow for a setup & it's not snowing too much,during daylight.The real threat hasn't started yet with high winds & snow but plows have been thru 3 x on my road. The Long Island Expwy closes at 11pm -trains,buses etc sooner.

My fingers are crossed.

Best of luck. My brother-in-law works for the power company in RI. I'm sure he's going to be busy.

Good luck. It actually stopped precipitating early afternoon though a little breezy but they say tonight will start

I hope its not as bad as predicted. Stay warm and safe.

I certainly hope the hysteria on CNN is a miss. Sending
good vibes to everyone in the northeast.

YIPPEEEEEEEE---- we didn't lose power but a funny thing happened AT 4.10 this morning.I was sort of drifting in & out of sleep when my 84 yr old hubby yelled from the other room--Where are you? I yelled back I'm here in the bedroom so he came in all dressed & said didn't we lose power? Apparently he had been dreaming about the greenhouse & losing power so he just dressed quickly when he woke up without even checking the lights on the TV & his clock.Here he was with a lantern in his hand.Of course I was doubled up with laughter as he had such a stupid look on his face as he realized what he had done.St George--out slaying the dragon!!!

 

[cnycharles]

that's funny! Wound up and ready to go!

I just got up enough to look through blinds to see no snow, and realize that I have to go to work instead of day off (have to mist cuttings)

I just heard on the radio, 'major winter storms slamming the north east' you guys ok?

 

[NYEric]

Fine here, I'm at work. 6" in the City - like 12" max in LI.

That's a good man! Would have been a great one if he had checked the electricity before getting dressed!

 

[L I Jane]

Troy-thanks--still snowing but we have power see above remark.I don't know when I'll get the car out of the drive as I haven't heard from my plow guy & it's too much for us old guys to shovel--12 to 14".

 

[eOrchids]

All good in central Jersey!

 

[troy]

Glad to hear that, past few years you guys had been at the mercy of some pretty gnarly storms

 

[L I Jane]

All shoveled out so life is good.Just need to shovel a little path to greenhouse which can be done tomorrow.

Good news! Looks like Mother Nature decided Boston needed a pounding. Payback for deflated footballs?!!

Your husband sounds like mine, worries more about the greenhouse than I do (and that is a lot!).

:rollhappy:

I hope everyone is making it through this storm OK.

kiss after you stopped laughing.
