Back on line for a few minutes- borrowing my son’s computer and Internet connection!  We are fortunate to have electric service at our home (most of our neighbors do not)- but lost our Comcast service (cable, phone, and Internet). 

We were able to walk and drive around the island today- amazing sights.  Electric wires are covered with ice, and many are sagging over the streets- or on the ground.  Snow plows did their best to stay ahead of the snow- but many streets are impossible to navigate without 4 wheel drive.  Homes facing north look like they were sprayed with snow- especially those along the inlet in Avalon and on Stone Harbor Blvd! 

Crews from the elecrtic company were lined up along Stone Harbor Blvd to make repairs.  Also saw a crew over the 21st Street bridge.  Property owners are concerned about frozen pipes if their heat stays off too long.  Hopefully, we will have good news over the next few days.

On the positive side, the town looks beautiful covered with snow!  After a LONG day and night trapped in the house (with on and off power and no cable), it was great to go outside today in the bright sunshine.   I took pictures, but can’t post then until my computer at work is functioning (aka- electric service back on at the office).

In the meantime, I am able to “Tweet”- and will continue to post updates on:  www.twitter.com/AnnDelaneyBeach
