  Anyone else hanging out in this weekend's nor'easter?  It's giving the Weather Channel something to talk about!
   Susan here, watching the storm from my new(ish) property on a bluff overlooking Long Island Sound (central Long Island).

Other end of the world, but a southerly buster in progress,  the leaves of the watsonia are practically horizontal and the magpies are having fun jumping off their branch, wings extended and gliding backwards, rinse and repeat!  Walking out in it takes the breath away.

I hope you are staying dry Susan! It sounds like you may be getting a pretty good amount of rain?

Up here in Upstate New York, we are getting rain but not the crazy winds that they were warning us about. Don't get me wrong, it is windy but nothing gale-force.

       Your description took me there in my imagination!

      Hi!  Still raining here.  I think any damage was erosion (as usual) on the east coast ocean beach areas, some tree/limbs down.  Not a big deal but super fun to watch, except for the people who got the tree falling on their house or car.
