Stay safe and warm! Hope what they're predicting doesn't come to pass.
ReplyDeleteYou never know. We are at the meeting point of weather systems, so sometimes it all goes away and sometimes both arrive and you get Sandy from which we are still recovering. So we prepare and hope.
DeleteI posted the pic on another website after someone asked how a wooden cat got into storm prep. I triggered a hilarious thread about the figurines people put out in season-- Nipper the RCA dog, rabbits etc. No flamingoes yet, but give it time. Gnomes, too, maybe.
ReplyDeleteI love your sense of preparedness. I plugged the remaining drafts around the cellar door, the stairway, and the entry door which never closes evenly in the winter. Warpage, I guess. And I will be utterly grateful when the weather folks calm down.
ReplyDeleteMy husband visits three weather sites, and their predicted snow amounts range from 2 feet, 1 foot, and icy rain. And subzero after the storm.
But I have Legos, I've started in on Robert Parker and am promising myself when he gets to the part where he turns his terribly special girlfriend into an intelligent airhead, I stop reading him and go on to something else.
Keep warm, and let's hope you don't lose the power. that can be the worst part of any storm...
About power: we have a blessed power company which has invested in infrastructure and staff and power loss is rare. Usually when a truck hits a transformer, that sort of thing. Last winter we were out for six hours, so rare that they kept texting updates about it. Usually a few minutes is the max. So that's not often a concern. Not so with the other NJ power co, which goes out all the time and a severe mild spell is enough to set it off.
DeleteAfter all that we just got torrential rain, then high winds which dried the streets before the bitter cold came in. No ice. And my car started first try this morning. All the snow prep items now back outside, including the wooden cat. So it's "as you were" as they say in the military.
