Great.
Tom and I just took a prolonged cruise through our neighborhood (but not before giving the name of the tree service who delivered our firewood to a desperate neighbor. Good luck getting a delivery now! ).
Spoke to one neighbor (an avid cyclist we know). He's pushing back as much snow as he can from the end of his driveway - topping the piles - to make room for the next onslaught. Smart man.
Asked another neighbor "Do you have power yet?" Nope. Not down that side street.
Saw another woman, walking down the street. She flagged us down. "We just got power, minutes ago!" She was thrilled and could barely contain herself. From the sound of this advisory, she may not have it for long!
Crazy. The main drag outside our neighborhood was a parking lot. Tons of cars. The post office (where we were headed, ultimately) was a zoo.
