So it snowed. Quite a lot, actually, and it turns out we suffered more damage last night than during last week’s hurricane. Several large branches fell in the backyard, and the poor little tree in the front yard lost yet another bough. And you definitely wouldn’t have thought I’d shoveled the driveway at all last night.
Some estimates put it at a foot of snow.
That’s pretty unusual for us the first week of November, especially right on the heels of a devastating hurricane. We almost lost power again last night. They still don’t have power across the street. And the Long Island Railroad is still uncomfortably crowded.
It wasn’t so bad this morning. I caught a later train, at 7:28, and even though the LIRR did that thing again when they pretend a train is still coming, it’s just 20+ minutes late, it wasn’t as horribly uncrowded as last night’s. I even had enough room to open my book for half of the trip, which this week has been almost unheard of! And this evening…well, again, still ridiculously over-crowded, but I was on the same train as my father and we both managed to get seats.
And a lot of the show has already melted. I don’t know what that means in terms of power restoration for the rest of the block, or for my train tomorrow morning, but things could always be worse.
At least I didn’t have any webinars to go to today.
