This is the view of Main Street from my office. You can spot our new Christmas decorations on the light poles. They’re wreaths with bells inside them. I took this a little after 5 today, but it was already twilight because of the rain. You can tell everything is wet. We’re thankful for the rain at the moment, because rain is not sleet.
They’re telling us it’s going to be very nasty – sleet, snow, ice – a “wintry mix” as they love to euphemistically put it. The Governor has already declared all 105 counties disaster areas.
So far my power has been off once for about 45 minutes and it’s flickering again. I’m not sure why this is, since there’s just rain coming down. In the major ice storm of 2005 I never lost power. So, why it went off in the rain is a mystery. I find it very, very, very weird that at this point in our evolution as a society that we still have to worry about things like the power going off.
