Will you be affected by the coming winter storm? Looks like we gotta hunker down for a couple of days…

Definitely now it's a matter of how much we get. It's not going to go above freezing for at least 8 days after. It looks like it's going to impede the ability to get out for some time. I can't shovel that stuff anymore. We haven't had one like they are predicting for quite a while.

@Gibbon wow Worse there than here as usual. Take care of yourself my friend. Stay on out of the mess. Keep your phone charged…and make sure you have blankets ready should power go out and it most likely will. 🫂

@Unefilletrescurieuse Have the blankets and as always being on a well a lot of water in the tub whenever a possible power failure. I used be one of those who would get out and about when this snow kept people in but now I can absolutely do without it.

@Gibbon I hate icy weather! People always die here from it!

@Unefilletrescurieuse It will be all snow here and lots of it. I'll be trapped here for quite a while. Now I'm hoping I have enough food after seeing how the freeze will last. I depend on the melt to get out.

@Gibbon Stay safe and warm.

@ron122 Will do my best. The wind rips the heat out of this old place. During the winters coldest when the power goes out it gets rough. It's gotten down to 48 in here. Brutal.

@Gibbon layer your clothes and double up your cover!

Gibbon · 70-79, M

@Unefilletrescurieuse I will. We had a surprise 14 hour outage during our first below freezing cold snap. Time goes real slow when you can't get up without freezing.

@Gibbon I’m sure my friend. 🤗
