"Today will be mainly cloudy and cool with a few scattered showers possible. Highs will be in the upper 40s and lower 50s. The remnants of Sandy will continue to keep showers,clouds, and breezy conditions in the area through the rest of the week. As this system lifts to the northeast, we will have a colder shot of air work in for the end of the week and into the weekend with lake effect showers and even a rain/snow mix across higher elevations." From YNN. (They wake up earlier than WKTV!)

YESTERDAY
I didn't even step foot out of the house but spent the day glued to television watching reports of damage caused by Hurricane "Sandy" and getting in touch with friends who live near the Coast. Among the many E-mails that I sent was one to JIM VIVYAN, who grew up in Waterville and who has lived on E. 25th Street in New York City and worked at Random House Publishers for many years. He replied right away!
"All is well here, as well as can be, anyway. Power went out last night about 9 - so no lights, fridge, stove, tv,
cable, wi-fi, phone, computer - area south of 34th Street is mostly
powerless. Walked into work today for something to do -only one here -
at least there is power, computer, plenty of food in fridge, etc......
will leave shortly. Hear that busses are running starting at 5 pm so
that will be something.
There are police barricades outside our (office) building as the crane collapse
is on 57th street just a few blocks away and they are not sure what will
happen - not sure if it has been secured yet. Today has been mostly
wind and rain free - though some showers this PM, seems pretty dry now
as I look out the window.No work - office has been closed two days - no word about tomorrow - they will probably try to open - but not asking people to risk anything - lots of folks live in NJ and CT and travel via trains that aren't running so commuting will be a problem. Expect power to be back in 4 days in Manhattan according to ConEd. We shall see......" (Thanks heaps, Jim!)

ALSO IN THE MAIL ...
A blog reader asks : "Does anyone from Waterville make the wooden Adirondack Chairs? I like to shop local and want to order some chairs for Christmas!"
(Let me know and I'll relay the information.)

FOR THE RECORD
This is the time of year that I usually remind folks that contributions are welcomed by the Food Pantry (contact Vicky Sabol on Osborne Avenue) and The Christmas Committee (contact Shirley Hart on Putnam Street)
but this year, especially, we might also consider donating to the American Red Cross, upon whom so many victims of "Sandy" will be relying for help.
