Ugh.

Hubby called last night on his way home and I asked him to go get our niece from work. It was a good thing I did. The National Guard is out and blocking all the roads in and out of my town and you can only get in if you can prove you live here -- my niece's license has the address of her parents home, not ours. In any case, after being stopped TWICE on the way home, they arrived safely.

We're grateful that our house isn't in the danger zone. We're pretty high up and only have a creek out back (that's swollen, but not going to flood our house unless it rains for many more days). Hubby says that the Merrimack River is only inches from overflowing two of the bridges he passed and that would be really bad if that happened.

The state is all but shut down. Guess we'll have a houseful today -- so much for my peaceful Monday! Poor daughter... she's homeschooled, so no "rain day" today for her. I just hope the rain stops soon. I checked out the radar loop on Intellicast and the storm is just sitting there and NOT MOVING. Go. Away.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.
