About 6 trees down (so far) on my street. Thankfully they are all town trees.

The mountain is melting through my yard. I call it my river and it runs a few times a year. It's running hard now as we went out and shoveled down to the gravel paths so it runs around the house and not into the crawlspace. We put the stone paths in around the house to look nice and divert water from the crawlspace. It works when the river runs unless there's snow...so we have to open the channel or it becomes a disaster and shorts out the well pump.

 

At least I'm down to about 10 inches of snow.

No snow left here Mark. The sump pump is on overdrive and that reminds me that I need to check the high water alarm. I should probably change that battery along with my smoke detector batteries tonight.

Just spent 1 1/2 hours trying to get home to Somerset from the wifey's 'rents house in Ewing. Could only find one way home as all other routes were flooded out. Hell, even Rt 1 was completely shut down.

Yea man, I was out there going from the Princeton area up to Edison... gave up when I realized I had traveled all of three miles in 30 minutes.

The roads we could get to were no problem for the wifemobile(08 Subaru Forester). But a lot of the roads that usually never have problems were blocked off. Landing Lane bridge and the local Rt 18 split(new brunswck) were both shut down due to flooding.

Lost power most of the day and night along with at least forty trees. I'm glad the wind was blowing west as a few bull pines that came down could have easily taken out my house.

I think i lost a few tabs off a few shingles on the house. Have to climb up and take a look to be sure. What pissed me off more is that i found a few pieces lying on the hood of the truck. :roll:
