We were very fortunate during Hurricane Sandy, and only lost power for one day. (Unlike the two storms last year.) Most of town was out for more than a week. Even so, we had nothing like the damage along the coast, New York & New Jersey. Just devastating.
Below are some of the ominous looking trees that thankfully didn't fall on our house. (It was a different, scary tree story all around the area.) Here's the sky the morning after the storm:

And then we woke up to 8 inches of snow this morning. Which is pretty. (But maybe not so early in the season.)
Gotta love a bunch of cords of firewood, though.
