Rain stopped. Bring on the next adventure!

For those of you who think rainfall and weather drama is interesting, it looks like our total is just over 7 inches here. By our charts, at 8 PM it all stopped. We were spared of much excitement, but I did think the basement bubbler was kinda cool (in an annoying way).


From a guy new to New England, I would have much rather had the winter version of this Nor'Easter, because 6 feet of snow would have just been AWESOME! Floods? High water? We can do that in the south just fine! But blizzards are a new frontier for me.

We do live next to a swamp, but not with an outlet to a river like our friends the next town over. This is my good friend Peter going to buy some sandbags to try to protect his basement as the water was lapping at all four sides of his foundation. I'm hoping the water recedes for them tonight. They only have inches of leeway before reaching evacuation levels. They aren't likely to sleep very soundly tonight...

From their kitchen porch.

Next adventure? Bring it on. I've met my deadline at work today, so I'm ready to cheer on the birth of our second. I'm certain Jen is eager for this new baby, ***** ******** to arrive, too.
