Usually we get spared when hurricanes / snowstorms come up the coast, but Stratford, CT and the areas around it got the most snow anywhere (32 inches here, 38 nearby in Milford). Started counting out the number of times I tossed a pile of snow from the shovel, was at 800 when I took these photos. All told was about 6 hours worth to clear the driveway / path to the front door and I haven't even begun on the back deck / roof, which is going to have to wait until tomorrow. Tired as fuck, and definitely planning on getting a snow blower for next year. Just grateful we didn't lose power this time.

Roads are not THAT bad. esp now before its too dark.(and icing) I would really recommend getting to a friend with powers.
Do you have sleeping bags/tents? both are designed to hold heat in, moreso then a bed spread. or room in general.
you can also pick one room as your living space. put up blankets on hte windows, doors, etc. seal it off. stay in that one room as much as possible, without opening it.
No cockroaches either.
last night the wind was blowing from the north, so the snow around my house isw weird on the west, south sides, the drifts removed most of the snow about15 feet from the house, then there isa ~4 foot pile ridge of snow. the north and east sides have normal amounts,I will post pictures tomorrow.

One of the main roads in Stratford, which also runs in front of my house wasn't a ghost town which kept me busy watching dumb-asses get stuck on the very narrowly citizen plowed path that left no room for passing. They would get stuck in the snow drifts and have to be shoveled out which caused tons of backup

Checking in. House at 42?. Got a "warm room" set up with blankets and candles. There is a shelter down the road if I really need it. Word is no power for 48 more hours. So may need to abandon the house to look for a hotel or just go to the shelter tomorrow.
It isnt too bad under several blankets with a few layers of clothes. But out here in the big openness of the kitchen /dining area to grab a snack its a bit chilly and I can see my breath >.<
