I am near the seacoast in NH. Far enough away that I don't have to worry about coastal flooding. I could get a foot of rain and still be OK. I am up on a hill. Too much rain really quick and I might need to re- grade the bottom of my driveway. Have generator and plenty of gas. Already took down any big trees close to my house or barn over the past couple of years. Just need to get a little extra milk this weekend, and maybe some popcorn. :D

All of the wood I have is split and stacked. I normally don't "catch up" so I guess we are due to have a few trees snapped around here. Best of luck to anyone in harms way!

We worked today in anticipation of not getting much done next week, until Friday anyway.

Leaf season may be over in a big hurry. We're usually still hustling them up the first week of December.
From hence ye beauties undeceived, know one false step is ne'er retrieved
and be with caution bold.
Not all that tempts your wandering eyes and heedless hearts is lawful prize,
nor all that glistens gold.
