Nor'easter

No Mercy! That was the deal over most of the Northeast yesterday and all last night. Here, the first flake fell in the yard at 5:24 PM last evening, and it's been snowing and blowing since. My weather call is that we got about 8 inches, but right now the howling wind and heavy blow is the issue. The woodbox is full, the woodstove is up and doing its work, and thanks to Elenka, Mom's fish chowder is on the menu for the day. Keep warm!

  1. I'm guessing it was only six inches or so in Hartford, but the wind was strong and wnet on for hours. Fortunately, no power lost yet.

  5. I'm envious of your snow! I don't think I've ever had fish chowder, but it sounds like something good for a day like that.

  6. A nice fire and some homemade chowder sounds like a good way to wait this one out!

  7. Your photo is best viewed from the safe confines of somewhere warm! This is why you invested the time chopping all that wood in the fall. Hot fish chowder sounds awesome -- enjoy.

  8. The sky was clear here today, but the cold is intense. I'm following your course with heaters and food!

  9. We usually escape this out in the center of the country buy boy did walk into the middle of it in the northeast yesterday. You may have gotten the lighter pert of the storm. I think the official total in Central Park yesterday was 21".
