I've been in central VA for the last couple of days - very minimal impact here. It was a bit cold today and occasionally drizzly today although we did see the sun briefly too. Yesterday was lots of rain and occasional wind gusts that would blow the tree branches a bit - nothing too noteworthy. In eastern PA (where I was coming from on Sunday) the rain was a lot heavier but the wind was similarly not too bad. I guess back up in New England they got some nasty weather Monday night but Tuesday was a pretty nice day overall (I heard in the 70s with partly sunny skies). There are occasional places without power and naturally the coastal/low-lying areas got inundated but this certainly could have been a lot worse than it was. Sorry for those who did suffer losses and who are living without power now. I suspect I'll head home to NH in a week or so to find a whole lot of leaves/branches/crap down in my yard that I'll have to clean up but that's about it. I just hope the power didn't go out for too long - I'd hate to have to throw out a freezer full of frozen food that had gone through a freeze/thaw/refreeze cycle. Best to all who were more coastal and took the brunt of this thing with the storm surge/high tide combination. I hope this is a wake-up call to government officials and utility companies about the sad state of our infrastructure. It'd be nice to see some much-needed upgrades come out of this mess.
