Sandy brings warm weather
Tuesday beat a temperature record, I heard on the radio, but don’t find a text link for you except this TVA link (plays video) about Sandy generally bringing us warm weather. I can’t say I recall ever wearing sandals on Halloween eve before. While looking for a story to link I found this long-term forecast saying our winter will be slow to begin, but that we’ll see some fairly serious snow after Christmas.

sez you, my wife is still stranded in NYC. Though it could be worse, to be fair.

Is she doing OK, Ian? I’ve heard various stories from friends who have family members there. Some folks had their phone and internet service knocked out for awhile, which caused some concerns.

She’s actually staying with a close friend in Soho – not so much “stranded” as “on extended vacation in luxurious settings with no electricity”. The phone was out yesterday morning still and there’s no flights, trains, or buses but another friend drove to Brooklyn from Chelsea yesterday and while it’s messy, everything’s coming back together. Apparently JFK might open up today but LGA is still under about a foot of seawater. Worth noting, all those pics you see of flooding in NY and NJ are salt water – all those cars are dead, all those homes will be ringed with salt wen they dry out.

True. It’s easy to forget how close NYC is to the sea, if you’ve mostly visited central Manhattan.
The Atlantic’s In Focus feature has two sets of terrific Sandy shots, here and here.

“Terrific” in the olde, Miltonian sense. Wicked.
