Glad the worst of it missed you.

Yeah, we are south and east of the city only 50 ,miles from coast, ocean temps are still in 60's so we were spared the snow, just got a lot of wind and rain...

I hope everyone in the NE is doing OK. I saw that places in NJ had 19", and parts of MA had 26". The tree breakage also seems to be especially bad. Luckily, all of this weather is coming down as rain in my area. However, there are 100 km/h winds, and some flooded areas. Normally NS would be receiving this as snow too!!

Barb, after living in NS for 10 years, the constant grey skies and rain has started to seem "normal" 😕

Snow....LOL......we only got 2" here in the Massachusetts 'tropics'. Thanks to the 'warm' ocean temps the rain/snow mix did not turn to real snow until the end. Banana leaves are still green! Low of 29F.

That's good to hear! It seems as if only isolated parts of western MA received record snowfalls.

Yes, Bill lives a few miles up the road from me. If I got 2" then Bill got 2.1".

Just got our power back on today after losing it last Saturday! Got about a foot of snow then - ruined almost every tree. I got almost all the palms and bananas in that day. Crazy, crazy weather!!! Worst Storm Ever. Still most people have no power!
