Thank you, Leon, but it' quite a mess here. And I lost power for another 23 hours during the Nor Easter that just hit us. Just got power back on.

Johnny,

I realize we don't know each other; however, still wanted to send along my best wishes to you and yours during this difficult time. Sounds like you've been through quite a bit...glad to see that you're hanging in there.

Best Regards,

Eric

I am on the Jersey Shore and that snow yesterday was heavy. We had power lines laying on the street due to the heavy snow.

My kudos to the JCP&L workers on the ground who have spent long hours dealing with dangerous situations.

My purchasing a wood burning stove ten years ago was the best investment I ever made, too. Heat, light and I can cook on it.

I had those snow "bombs" all day today.

I drove past Deal Lake (my favorite lake to fish) in Asbury Park and was awestruck by the devastation. I got very emotional seeing the destruction.

But, of course, it's the people that I feel for most. Families who lost loved ones; homes destroyed. It's all very emotional when you are right next to the families that have been affected. We will recover.

If you live in the tri-state area and weren't affected, then consider yourself fortunate and lucky. I lost power for a total of nine (9) days, lost a front porch and my gutter system and consider myself "lucky."

I lost five trees yesterday close to the house, plus many more in the woods with this newest storm after losing four big trees during the hurricane. Guessing they were weakened, then broke from the weight of the snow. Lost power for 15 hours after going just over five days without it during the first storm. Definitely not a fun last ten days and I am one of the really lucky ones here in NJ. Not a single thing damaged, amazing with all the stuff we have here.

During last year's hurricane, we had one tree on the entire property fall, hit my dad's old pickup truck parked way on the back of the property, although the tree took the worst of the clash. 1984 Dodge Snow Commandos are apparently tough trucks
