Today's forecast was 'scattered snow showers.' i guess they meant, scattered around my neighborhood. Hasn't stopped since yesterday.

What's the sound of one jackass shoveling? Not a philosophical question; it's what I've been doing for the last couple of hours.

Ah, it's warmed up to 16 degrees. That's what i was waiting for. Now i can go shovel.

I'd love to go out and shovel what we have out there now (~10"), if it would just stop snowing for a bit. Maybe after breakfast.

Debating shoveling tonight and tomorrow morning, or just tomorrow morning. i don't have to be anywhere until ... Christmas.

drove up to jaffrey & peterborough this afternoon. on my way home, 4 of the 6 local streets to get to my house were blocked by crews. nice!

i hate to be chicken little, but the NWS forecaster discussion is pretty confident we'll be lambasted with snow, starting Friday afternoon.

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 are having a wood-chipper-fest up and down the street. must warn Steve Buscemi not to visit today.

i thought this was really, really strange techno music. then i realized it was being mixed ad-hoc with my neighbor's chainsaw.

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!

That should be, walmart and the grocery stores on 202 in Rindge. i can see their parking lot lights in the distance from my house.

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.
· view on Twitter
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?

i had to break icicles off the bird feeder so they could actually get at it and eat. and the blue jays still made a mess. that's gratitude!
