Winter weather

I know the awful snows they’ve been having in Boston and Chicago, etc., are awful. But they are somewhat prepared to deal with it (if not in those quantities).

However, the weather around here for the next week is going to be super terrible - at least for this area. And nobody around here is prepared to deal with it.

The temperature didn’t get above freezing today, and the precipitation is supposed to start around daybreak tomorrow. And it’s supposed to rain/snow/freezing rain/sleet at least through Tuesday. And the temperature is supposed to be hovering around freezing or colder for the rest of the week. This will bring our area to its knees.

We both had medical appointments tomorrow morning, and we both received calls this evening to tell us that the offices would be closed and we should call later to reschedule.

We’ll hope for no power failures, since we don’t have an alternate heating source. We have a fireplace, but haven’t had a fire in it in probably ten years. It definitely wouldn’t be safe to try a fire in it now. And if the roads are icy, we have no way to get to a motel.

I guess we’ll deal with whatever. At least, we don’t have 20-foot-high mountains of snow to dispose of.

Stay warm, folks!
