OT: Nor'easter

[Bama fan]

Hope all of you are safe and warm during this storm in New England. you might need some Husky help.

Just some wind. And a very high tide. Nothing we don't see on a regular basis.

Daughter lost power near Boston, said 250,000 without power in Mass.

To be fair winds across the region right on the coast gusted 60-90 mph. That's pretty unusual especially in October.

 

[JonathanXIV]

True about October (and did not mean to diminish the storm). But not unusual for New England to experience 60 mph winds, especially with Winter approaching.

That's why I live in Las Vegas. Hardly ever gets below freezing and when it's hot outside it's usually very low in humidity.

Sorry. Still unconvinced.

How about the part of NO STATE Income tax?

Ah, the old "dry heat" ruse. I, too, might have fallen for that had I not heard it explained by a comedian performing in Las Vegas. He was no fan of the heat and he found himself with only two potential venues. Vegas was actually his second choice. As he explained it, "All the flights to the sun were booked."

Without power for over 15 hours that’s not the norm in Manchester

Sorry, still doesn't do it. Prefer the color green over the color brown. And the ocean over the desert.

As for dry heat, my oven has dry heat. But I don't spend a lot of time in there. (except after UConn losses )

Some spot outages in town where trees were blown down into lines but for the most part unaffected. Got lucky again I guess.

Warehouse in south Windsor still out also

It's not all brown. I drove from Las Vegas to Temecula a couple of years ago. We saw lots of gray too.

Played golf in May (year ago) there at a conference, and still have the burn on my hand from the 104* day where my sunscreen wore off. Brutal day.

No one escapes taxes--you pay one way or another--the politico-s find something to tax --they keep diggin until it hurts--you.

This land is my land, this land is your land. I love it top to bottom side to side. and lived in most of it at some time.

I've experienced dry heat playing golf in 105 in AZ. It was a lot less oppressive than 85 with 90% humidity in CT. And with all I would not pay to the CT government I could afford a new CA unit.

Patio furniture took a beating

Not too sure what your post was about but "patio furniture" was the punchline of a joke I heard years ago (attributed to Ted Kennedy but I have no way of knowing for sure). And yes, I'm (part) Irish.

What's Irish and stays out all night?

I've visited AZ twice to play golf (Scottsdale). Both were 1 week trips in late April and it rained every day but one each trip. It was also pretty cold. We took a road trip to Sedona and it snowed on the way. On the plus side the desert bloomed and it was awesome.

Power just came back on, thanks to the French speaking Canadian utility crews who came to help the customarily useless Central Maine Power folks. Took the time away from the internet to brush up on wood splitting. Warm house, candlelight, howling wind... no complaints. Well, maybe a little one. Takes forever to make coffee on the wood stove. First world problems.

As I've been totally out of touch with WBB for a couple of days, is it safe to assume that the sky is still falling and we still need bigs?

Happy the storm is gone!!! Got kind of windy where we were!!!! But we lived in Vermont for many years so extreme weather is nothing new!!!

I've been many times and April was the best month. I did get hit once with a bad storm that flooded the valley for an afternoon. I learned what all those dry gulches are used for.

I also was there in December. Played golf in the morning in 70 degrees and made snowballs in Sedona in the late afternoon.
