Well, this post was supposed to be called "What a Difference a Year Makes!" and consist of photos of my Elephant Ear plants this year as opposed to last, when a freak early snow caught us by surprise.
I will do those photos at the end, but first I must observe that yes, it's been another year and another wild weather phenomenon--this time, Hurricane Sandy. But all in all, looks like we got off lucky here in southcentral PA.
Schools are closed for the second day, as are many businesses, but locally the flooding and storm damage were less than expected. I just did the walk-around and found no shingle or tree damage, so my home fared just fine. Looks like the rain gauge yielded 4.5" over the past 24 hours. No power outages here at my home, but millions of people have been affected and the storm is not over yet for folks north and east of here up through New England.
Keeping our fingers crossed.

Here they are a year ago, from the freak late October snowfall here in the Mid-Atlantic as I posted on 4 Nov 2011:
