watching DVR'd Eli Stone. good god, i can't believe they didn't renew this show. one of two networks shows we watch anymore. tragedy.

i, too, wondered why the @nhupa site was just an imagemapped wireframe. assumed it was being redesigned but wasn't sliced yet. so much hate.

oh look, snow. snow can be shoveled, and doesn't necessarily kill the power lines. i can deal with this.

think i'm still making up for four days of work, worry, cold, and little sleep. either that, or i accidentally slipped myself a mickey.

neighbors tell me there's a tree crew and a line crew from Connecticut Light & Power out on our tributary street.

let's hope the warm temps help the tree trimming and line crews!

Woke up to 42F, wind, and no ice left on the trees (or anemometer). Still no power, but this is a big big improvement.

We're so beat, and the house is warm. So I'm shutting down and crashing at 8PM. Nighty!

To my Monadnock peeps - walmart and the grocery stores on 202 have power and are open again.

Update: met my brother from Roch, NY partway and borrowed his generator. We are noisy, but we have heat. And coffee.

No generator & Oil heat that needs elec to circulate. :( We'll be okay tonight but if it's not back on tomorrow we'll need plan B.

Actually the winds are fighting between SW and N. We've watched two layers of clouds move in two different directions.

Update - still no power. Probably not today or tomorrow. Some sun breaks are helping thin the ice on the trees now. Winds from N picking up.

Neighbor tried to get to work. Outside our street, trees are down every couple hundred feet. We're hearing/watching them fall everywhere.

Nope, power's not back yet. Neighbor's generators kinds ruin the tranquility.

Power's out in Rindge. Wonder if it will be back by morning?
