Nor'easter

Unless you haven't been watching the news, you know that those of us in the Mid-Atlantic region are experiencing a Nor'easter. What's a Nor'easter like, you ask?

It's lots and lots of wind and rain.
It's struggling against the wind to bring your soggy patio furniture inside.
It's wearing your favorite rubber boots to work.
It's leaky windows and doors and ceilings and basements.
It's engines sputtering because of inches of standing water on the roads.
It's news footage of people kayaking through their neighborhoods.
It's your workplace closing early.
It's space heaters blasting in vain to dry the entrance to Wal-Mart.
It's having a really huge lunch in your living room late in the afternoon. In your pajamas.
It's the lights flickering.
It's taking a nap as the wind howls outside.
