Hurricane Update

We are thankful that we were not hit by the storm.

On Monday we woke up to a cold rain - a telltale sign that the weather was changing. While walking Henry we met another couple from Oregon (Burns) who were also waiting out the storm. They too are on a year travel adventure.

There is snow to the south and high wind conditions to the east - so we are staying put for the time being. We watched CNN and The Weather Channel to keep up on the ever changing Hurricane Sandy. The worst looks like it will hit later this evening.

Talked to Kelcey on the phone and Richmond proper wasn't getting much of the hurricane weather. She said they had rain and wind - but nothing excessive. So happy she & Scott have missed the brunt of this one. Sending our prayers to everyone in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and all other impacted areas.

Tuesday:
It was lightly snowing this morning, the temperature topped out at only 39 today. It's another day of nasty weather. Not complaining - it certainly could be worse. Andy is on conference call after conference call - but I'm catching moments of the news between phone calls. Feel so bad for all the people that were in the path of the storm. The snow here melted pretty quickly, but it is bone chilling cold.

The park we were supposed to go to is still closed, so we will need to amend our plans. Talked to my brother Andy who lives in Spotsylvania, VA - we are going to meet up with him on Saturday - yay!  Really looking forward to seeing he & Tina and the girls. It's the first good thing to happen from this storm!
