I'm sorry! Sounds though like this one isn't as 'strong' as originally thought. God knows, I hope recent forecasts are correct, you all have had enough.

Sorry about your power loss. We are expecting a couple inches of snow later today. How about you?

Let's face it- the sun could be shining and it would still be a crappy day.

Our neighbor up the street has had larger-than-life-sized cutouts of Obama and his wifey propped up against the front of their house. Today she added a bunch of red, white, and blue balloons, and was taking proud pictures of the display. It takes a certain kind of twit to gloat like that in a neighborhood with its share of Republicans. Including her next door neighbor.

So, let me get this straight. Your neighbors, the Obama Supporters, play with paper dolls in plain view of their neighbors and take pictures of it to boot? And who says that our country is in decline?

These will be the first to complain once our taxes go up in January

jimnyc: This kind of strange weather must really make the Non-believers angry, and downright miserable.

We can't blame it on Obama. But now. Maybe the Atheist's might just begin to think to themselves..."Maybe there really is something in all of those Christian claims about GOD giving all of us warnings to EITHER get along, and help each other. Or...we'll all die together!"

Yup. Unbelievable, isn't it? I've had to drive by those 8 ft tall images for about 4 weeks now.

There are alternatives. Guaranteed no hurricanes or Nor'easters.

Actually, Gabby has been posting regularly before today, and I think she has been pretty restrained. There are a couple of people, though, who seem to have reappeared like ghosts today just to gloat.

The view from my office this morning ain't too bad either

[jimnyc]

Power is back, hopefully. Cam back like an hour ago and died 5 minutes later. We seem to be steady for about 20 mins now, so hopefully get the house heated back up again at least!

Jimmy, sitting in the shelter here - got a broadband adapter yesterday - with the freaking A/C on! They put it on because of the small number of hygienic hold outs who refuse to shower even though there is hot water. Oh, and the TVs they finally hooked up yesterday are now out because of the storm. And V4R is creeping home in this miserable weather because he had to go to work. Just needed to vent a little. I am cold and tired and haven't eaten tonight because I don't like to leave our stuff too long without one of us here. I am sorry you are having a powerless evening buddy.

We're back now, and some power outages are nothing compared to what others like yourself are enduring. It's a shame that FEMA or similar won't get you guys hotel rooms where you can be comfortable. I'll tell ya what, I don't know you guys too awfully well, but as a fellow NY'er, if you guys need a place to crash, for even a night where you can be warm and have a better environment, please don't hesitate to shoot me a PM. I consider myself lucky, and loads of people have helped me through some rough times in the past, it would make me happy to "pay it forward" if I could. I know Westchester isn't around the corner, but it's something to consider if things get worse for you guys.

I just heard from my niece today, they went to their apartment and electricity is on, but not heat, water, cable. They went back to friends home in Brooklyn. They do realize how fortunate they are, able to afford whatever steps they need to take. Others are not so fortunate.

Those with incomes below the wherewithal to afford hotel rates over $500 a night and cab rides of 10 miles at $100 bucks? Sizeable number. Those that were hanging on by fingernails in this economy, before Sandy? Forgetaboutit. Niece said they gave to a local group, $3k to help those struggling. She said she hopes they are legit and vet folks, but she knows how hard it's been on her, can't imagine what it's like for someone without the funds.
