Total non-event for us, Mike.  I'm not sure we received over 2" of rain and the winds were not too very strong, either.  Evidently, the track of the storm was more inland so NJ, CT, western MA, and VT took the worst of it.  Looked like it sucked for them!

Our lights flickered and went out for about 15 seconds then came back on and were fine from then on.  We had plenty of food for the cats, new batteries in our headlamps, oil in the Aladdin oil lamps, and a few gallons of drinking water.  Water to flush the john is in the pond and the buckets were ready.  Gas range in the kitchen and plenty of freeze packs in the freezer.  Plenty of matches and lighters.

We don't worry to much about weather here.  :)
