Sunday Salon ~ After the Blizzard - February 2013



The blizzard is over and actually, we enjoyed being confined to our house for (2) days.  They closed the College on Friday and Saturday and only essential personnel were allowed on the roads after 4p.m. on Saturday which was great for road crews.  My poor Son-in-law works in health care and had to go in early and then stay for a double shift because of call outs.  When all was said and done we got close to 2 feet of snow where we are.

How did everyone else in the path of the blizzard make out.  Some of the beach communities were flooded from tidal surges once again. They just had to deal with that a few months ago with Hurricane Sandy.  I think that would be enough incentive for me to try to sell oceanfront property, if we were in that situation.

It was a great weekend for movies and reading though.  We watched Silence of the Lambs (us), On Golden Pond (just me) and Hope Springs (just me) . I hated that movie, IMO, probably the worst movie Meryl Steep ever starred in and not really her fault either.

I finished Care of Wooden Floors by Wills Wiles - what a bizarre read, but I really liked it and was glad I read it. (Hope to draft my review this afternoon.)  This book is a FREE eBOOK loan for Amazon Prime members.

Not sure what book is up next but I'm continuing with the audio version of The Shining; Stephen King for #shineon and really enjoying it. Close to the half way point. 

Have a good week everyone!

Waking Up in New England this Morning

It was snowing lightly when I went to bed last night and when I woke up, I was shocked to say the least. 10" of new snow fell here, making the total, since Christmas somewhere around 30".Work is delayed just 2 hours since most of our students live on campus.  Here are a few photos, I thought some of you might enjoy, a bit more than me :(
More snow coming on Saturday.

Off to get ready for work. At least it will be a short day! Stay warm everyone.  I envy those of you in warm weather climates --right about now.  PLEASE tell me what the weather is like where you live.

After the Storm

Here a a few photos taken yesterday (January 12th), after 18" of new snow fell around here. Work was canceled and schools are closed again today for the second day in a row.  We have a late (10am) opening at work today, which was a nice surprise, even though I did get up at 5:30am as usual.  I love the snow as long as I can stay home and enjoy it.
