April NorEaster ooooWooooOOp

Only sound effects would describe storms here. So I've now experienced my first NorEaster and I am duly impressed. These are photos taken by friend Brian: he not only braved the storm to take some pictures, but he and son Ben were out there in it until they were dripping, literally. Hearing the ooo's and eeee's and wooop's I heard a tapping at my door and there they were, dressed up like children always are going out to play in the snow - I should have gotten my own camera out and taken that photo.

Many vital lessons were learned that day, including the realities of my building and the leaks that followed. Did you know that some wind/rain can even penetrate a brick building? I didn't. I do now. But dramatic weather is one of life's interesting events and I can easily see it will never be dull living here. There are no bad views from my balcony -- and best of all, a rather eccentric sort such as myself doesn't even stand out in a crowd. That might be, the best part of all.
