We got some crazy rain and winds here in Western New York today too, but they didn't last long. And the only thing I saw flying around was garbage :-) I live a block from the Tonawanda Creek and it is just about cresting flood stage. Much more rain and there will be a lot of people with muddy creek water in their basements! It won't come up my street though. They fixed how it flows in the 1950's, thank goodness! If a boat flies by your head, just say "permission to come aboard Captain" and hop on!

Well the dock at the Yacht Club next door completed fell apart. The wind has reach about 70 mph. There are about 50 swans in the little bay behind my house, they are just bobbing up and down and I feel so bad for them. I heard that a wall in a hospital fell in in Staten Island and they have stopped the Staten Island Ferry

It's a bit after midnight and I wonder when this horrible weather is going to end. Hurricanes don't last this long. During the day we avoided sitting in the living because it's mostly windows and it felt like they could blow out at any time (or a tree branch coming through one). Plus being upstairs in my bedroom, I can keep feeling the house shake. The only good thing I can say about this past winter's bad weather is that at least just about all the dead wood in the trees have already come down before this storm.

It's calmed down here for right now. Can't hear any wind, but I can hear the ocean from my bedroom window. (not good). I work near the ocean so I will take a ride down there tomorrow and see if there is any beach left. It's supposed to be calmer today but it will still be rainy and windy all day. Just not as bad as yesterday. The only other good thing I can say about this storm is that thank goodness it was rain and not snow!!!!!!

wind died down dock in the back of my building completely tore up, some boats got loose. Lots of people without power, luckily I am not one of them. I am so glad this is over. I have lived here 28 years and have seen hurricanes, but nothing like this. And Grooch, you are right, if this had been snow, we would have been buried for months

Ginger, I know you live in NY so I'm surprised that you live on the water. What body of water in NY would that be? Is it one of the rivers? I really must get myself up there one of these days. It seems like such a fun city to live in (well, most of the time, lol).

It's OK today. Forecast for next few days is decent. But I heard snow forecasted for next weekend.

Color, I belive the word "snow" should be officially moved into the 4 letter word category and red dotted by mods.

In the 60's here in the Twin Cities! I've been out in my yard doing some garden clean-up most of the day. Removed mulch from my rhubarb and its starting to peek out of the ground. A few early bulbs too. A week ago we still had a foot or more of snow on the ground. Hope springs eternal!

Yesterday was horrible. Was 61 but we had really high winds and gusts all day. Felt like it was freezing and was miserable to be out in it. We were out most of the day (softball season started) and I don't think any of us got warm at all for the rest of the day/night! Today was 60, no wind, and absolutely beautiful. We opened up doors and windows it was so nice! This week is supposed to be in the 70's and I am so looking forward to that. Girls have another game tomorrow night, should be decent weather for that, though cool once the sun goes down.

Yesterday was a beautiful day, and it looks like we're in for a nice week of spring weather - yay! We had to barbecue yesterday just for the joy of being able to be outside without a jacket or raincoat.

Roads are closed around here due to flooding. The Gov. declared a state of emergancy because of all the rain we have had over the past 3 days. All I have to say is thankfully it was not snow or we would be looking at 6 feet of snow.

wow that is a lot of rain...yikes. Here in SW Ontario have such wonderful weather, sun and warm esp. for this time of year. Kids are off on their March break so we couldn't ask for better weather. Just a week ago we could still snowmobile all over and now we have no snow..the birds are back and spring is here (we hope to stay) temperatures today and this week are to be around 15C or 60F woohoo

Sun is shining in the Boston area today it is supposed to be nice right through Saturday in the 50's and 60's. We had over 9 inches of rain since Saturday. Things can start drying out.
