Nor'easter coming to visit...

Gouveneur, NY gets some wicked storms!

I know what you mean but it seems like what used to be the extreme is becoming the "norm" around here - in March 2010 my town was almost isolated due to flooding and bridges washing out, taking buildings with them. The debris field was huge - I visited in April and they were still reeling from the damage.

"My" beach took serious hits in 2010, then from Irene in 2011 and Sandy was the final blow for a lot of businesses and homes on the shore. Rebuilding is happening in earnest to be ready for the tourists that will start venturing back in May... and the dunes are being replaced for the piping plovers that nest on the beach and a type of tern that I cannot remember offhand. No one bothered to inform the birds that their beach was destroyed and they return on April 1st - time is a-ticking.

Had to ride the subway back in February to get to Brooklyn from Penn Station and that thought of flooded tunnels crossed my mind - when the train speeds up you know you are under the river....

 

55 here today - goodbye snow!

My truck and the Prius were washed and dried today - waiting for a family member to bring their car over to continue the car washing fun! Tomorrow is supposed to be warmer... can't wait!

 

Car washing fun continued as we were pressing 60 here...tested the Meguiars on a family member's Audi A4 and made it shine like a jewel! She needs a claybar treatment to take care of refining the finish further but when we were done that car shone like a jewel.

Thanks to the PriusChatters who recommended Meguiars... love the stuff!
