My Sister lives in the East Village, Stuyvesant Town, she finally texted me today. She was walking North to see if she had to work. There is no cell service at her apartment. The Con Ed plant that exploded is right down the road from her. She said it is bizarre, above 39th everything is normal, below, disaster area.

We got very little rain...my trout stream never even ran fast.

But the wind was crazy, and I'm wind sheltered in the woods. But I lost one tree...in a forest of 50-100 foot tall trees, the wind blew down a 9 foot tall hemlock. And the wind removed every leaf from my lawn, and all my leaves were down. It looked like someone had cleaned my yard yesterday morning.

I've been out of power since Monday 11pm. It sucks, but I feel very lucky.

All the buses were full going from my job in Tribeca so I walked from just below Canal St to Port Authority, nice 1.5 hour walk. MTA has major problems people in the city upset with them and with Con Ed. When I got to the 30s street wise that is were the power was on. Tomorrow will more fun of throwing out all the rest of the garbage that used to be merchdise for X-mas season. We through out literary 100,000 s of stuff, hope insurance covers this, sorry for the rant, I'm tired and wet and don't want to think about what was in the water.

Philly burbs ~19118, got off easy. I lost power for 12 hours from ~ 10:15pm to 10:15am yesterday morning, glad it was during sleep time. I had a downed crabapple tree but i'm happy about that too. It was half dead, saved me the trouble of cutting it down. Plus it dropped away from the house over a 8' cliff into the woods, out of sight out of mind.
Did a trek thru the park on Forbidden Drive yesterday. Not much damage just the expected downed trees on the path which already had sections cut out of the way. Kudos to Friends of the Wissahickon volunteers!

Ummm, the Euro and GFS are hinting at another storm next Thursday that kind of looks like the same tropical/cold front convergence that enhanced Sandy. This one skirts New England on the snowy side :)

Yep. Next week could be interesting too. We haven't started up our full-scale discussions/forecasts for the Northeast just yet, but did post a brief update on things for our VT/NH/ME resort pages.

I'm not seeing anything on the link (with Chrome). It shows up for a brief second ("Vermont Listings") and then the content on the page just vanishes, leaving just the white content box

Thanks for the heads up Nick. I'm not sure why that's happening. Here's a link to an individual resort--is this any better? By the way, a newer version of the site is already in the works and should be released soon.
