It's an off night for me. Not that I've got nothing to write about, that usually being the least of my problems. Instead, I'm dealing with the nasty sleet, ice, and freezing rain that's been falling since earlier today. We've been fortunate (so far) to not suffer any power outages here at The Manse due to ice laden powerlines failing. However, elsewhere in New Hampshire it's been a real problem.
Because of one of my other vocations, I am off to the state Emergency Operations Center to do my duty as a communications reservist. (Basically, I man a radio console that ties in a number of state agencies as well as amateur radio operations. It's getting busy out there.)
Regular blogging will resume on Friday.
Update for all you non-New Englanders out there. My brother's house is one of the 50% in New Hampshire without power tonight, as is that of our parents. They are all holed up together at his place because wood stoves don't need power to keep the house warm. We offered to have them all come to Concord, but they wanted to stay close to home. It's supposed to get bitterly cold tonight- morning temps around 2 degrees F - so we;ll see how strong their will is after that ;).
