Prepping for Sandy

We're preparing for the potential impact of Tropical Storm Sandy.  Sandy might not hit Vermont, or it might be mild, but we know it's best to prep for the worst.  It's a weird, unpredictable storm, so we have to track it closely.  Others are tracking and prepping, across the American northeast.

Some of the weather plots look grim - for others, not just Vermont mountains.  Sandy might hang a left and plunge into Pennsylvania, striking Vermont on its right flank:

Vermonters are stocking up on supplies. Ceredwyn reports Middlebury stores running out of some stocks.

Irene hangs heavily on Vermonters' minds.  It was two years ago, but we're still recovering.  Ceredwyn and I drove to Boston and back this week, over some roads and bridges still under construction.
