I had not even thought about the fact that my 29' camper is parked in the woods of upstate NY. Really hoping there is not a tree on top if it!! Got to imagine a camper would be very hard to repair if hit by a tree branch 
We got very, very lucky with this storm. I only see one tree down in the vicinity of my wooded 4 acres and it didn't hurt anything. The storm sort of circled around us and stayed far enough away to keep winds down to 40-60 mph.
I'm hoping the rest of you escape with minimal damage.

Just checking in... No real issue apart from no power here for me. Plenty of trees down from what I'm hearing from friends. Saws are gassed and ready if I can get to their places. Gennie is purring along happily keeping the beer cold, and everything else charged.

The underdog..
Central pa got nothing they were forcasted to. My cousin is in north east md and he says he think they dodged it too.
In western md got enough rain to wipe out my quarter mile gravel driveway b4 it turned to snow. Now I have to wait for the snow to melt to fix it. Could me worse tho. Off 2day and just sittin in the house watching it snow. Driveway can be fixed later this week when the snow melts.

Firemen responded to Sandy's wind damaged house in PA to discover a black burglar whom they held for police. Y'all keep your guard up.
Gee. Would a white burglar have been more welcome? :msp_glare:

Wishing all of you the best of luck, hope you stay safe and warm.
Is that suppose to be more politicaly correct.
That sounds like the local news stations.
We would not want to offend anybody would we.
Is black a dirty word or taboo, what if it said, a man with long hair.
It is just a description you know.
