@chibee: I hope you guys stay safe over there! I'm surprised they didn't just evacuate everyone.
A lot of people who live in South Jersey but work in Philly are concerned about not being able to get back home if they close the bridges (not to mention that transit systems are closed in Philly and NJ) so they're just staying home from work. It seems like everything is closed anyways.

Our district just canceled school for monday and Tuesday! While I always love a long weekend, I'm stressing out about how 2 days off will make it really hard to finish assessing my students before first quarter conferences next week! Plus, I can't stop thinking about my students on free and reduced breakfast and lunch...

I'm in Northern MD near the MD/DE line and we're not worried. I grew up in a hurricane prone area, so I think I'm jaded. Our neighbors are all freaking out though. It'll suck to be without power, but we'll make due.

here in coastal virginia, it's flooding pretty much everywhere. the wind isn't too bad, but there are lots of roads closed. we live in a flood zone, but haven't noticed any flooding on our street -- thank goodness! we still have power, but expect to lose it tomorrow. the kids are out of school tomorrow here, too.

@Mrs. Cowgirl: you are such a good teacher

I live in MA too and I'm worried about losing power for days like last years ice storm. We don't have a generator so we went and got dry ice to try and protect my frozen BM supply.

@Mrs. Jacks: ditto on what you said regarding mrs cowgirl

I'm supposed to have my NT scan tomorrow, but I live in NY and they've closed the subways! I'm really bummed... if the office is closed, it's closed, but if it's not I'll have to decide whether or not to drive, which seems like it could be terrible (I'm in Brooklyn, and the office is in Manhattan). It seems like it would be insane to risk it, but rescheduling within the timeframe would also be hellish! (I'm already at 12 weeks...)

I'm worried for my parents. They live about a block from the beach in CT and are under a mandatory evacuation. It is their first big storm since they moved to the coast and they are really worried about flooding. I feel so bad for them. At least they can stay with my sister, but they all could be without power for a long time. I wish I could do something to help!

For anyone else who is worried about their stash in a power outage: http://kellymom.com/bf/pumpingmoms/milkstorage/frozen-milk-power-outage/

Hope everyone stays safe! I'm a little bummed because it's my baby shower this weekend and my moms flight from Baltimore will probably be canceled
-
@travelingbrit: I hope your mom makes it. I think it's mainly supposed to be early in the week,, hopefully by this coming weekend things will be back up and running.
I bought LED candles so I can just use them in my windows for Christmas. We have other flashlights and candles too but I'm happy about my Christmas candles. The power company has been sending messages saying expect many days of power out if lines go down. I'm hoping in town it won't be as bad, but going to go top off the gas so we can go visit family if it's really going to be 5 days of no power.

Lots of thoughts and prayers to you all. This storm sounds so terrible.

I'm nervous bc I'm in a hotel in PGH for a conference, and am worried about DH in central pa. I don't think it's supposed to get too, too bad here, but a power outage in a hotel while pregnant will suck balls. I do have family near the city but there's no way I'm heading home before Thursday at the earliest bc the path of the storm seems to be predicted to run right along the pa turnpike.
