On Friday, I threw a farewell party to the the snowdrift that had been on my front porch since late last month by impregnating it with a champagne bottle -- a few days more, and it could have claimed squatter's rights. The storm that caused it didn't scare me, though: the snow that fell was mainly vertical.
This storm's snow was diagonal and mainly large flakes because the temperature didn't get below freezing until this morning. And in both cases, wind speed was not a factor like with Hurricane Sandy -- I heard only one example of what I would describe as a gust.
There was therefore no reason to fear a power failure, and lord knows I have enough to eat, drink, and do until Saturday, which is forecast to be sunny and 50 degrees -- to the beach, y'all!
