So far, so good. The major roads in our area are skating rinks, and a light sleet is falling (more like ice dust at present). We're told that snow will arrive later today, extending through the evening. The birds are thick in the branches of our backyard tree, and complaining bitterly that their water dish is frozen and their food is buried under a layer of ice. Our cats want us to let them indoors, so they can "assist them by warming them up by chasing them". Er . . . no!
We have an abundance of food and warm layers to wear. If the power goes out, we have a camping cookstove and plenty of fuel for it, a few decent-size power banks, a couple of kerosene heaters and fuel for them (not to be used in the house, but they'll keep the garage from freezing), a generator, and plenty of gasoline for it. I think we're as prepared as we can be on a limited budget.
Most of our group of co-conspirators partners in crime friends appear to be doing OK. Our usual Saturday supper together isn't happening this weekend, because most of us would end up in the ditch or hitting something expensive if we tried to drive. We'll make up for it next week.
I hope all is well with you, dear readers. Let us know in Comments how you're faring.
Peter
