Flood Zone

Well the weather gods are at it again. A stalled weather system funneled 7-8 inches of rain through central Pennsylvania over the last couple of days.

I did get an unexpected day off. Luckily my house is not in a flood plain. I did cross through a boundary and I drove through a water covered road last night. Normally I wouldn't do it, but the little VW ahead of me went through so I thought my bitchen mini-van would make it.

Hershey Park is underwater. Unfortunately they had to euthanize two buffalo (American bison) that were caught in a flash flood.

Major interstates are closed including I-81 and the Pennsylvania turnpike. It is pretty serious. This stalled weather system is causing more damage than Hurricane Irene last week.

The good news is that I spent the day painting. I have the preserved farmland trust exhibit coming up.

I hope everyone is staying dry.

Nasty Nor'easter

The dark eyed Junco is staring at my breakfast. He should not be looking at me like this.

There is an obscene amount of snow on my back deck.

That is my view from the kitchen table. It is not right.




It doesn't look like we'll be grilling anything for a while.

There is a minivan under all that snow. We measured twenty-two inches.



The snow is literally up to the window.

I put a bit of my table in for perspective.
BTW I was right. Nuts! Back in November I said NUTS were the best indicator of the severity of the winter. You didn't believe me did you? Hah!
I am going back into Bernatio.
