Don't Worry, and Don't Expect Much

Now that we're beginning to recover from the virus, we're about to get hit with a blizzard. Some of the news reports are calling it "historic," but I doubt that it's an apt description. Right now the National Weather Service is predicting 10-14 inches, and very low temperatures. That means flaky snow, not the kind that typically snaps tree limbs and downs power lines.

On the other hand, there will be wind, and our power is vulnerable. So if you don't hear from us from awhile, don't panic. Without power we have no Internet and no phone (unless we drive several miles toward town to get a cell signal).

But we're getting pretty good at this whole power outage thing; we have supplies of food and fresh water, and even some charged-up electronics to keep us entertained for at least part of the time. School has already been cancelled, so the boys will be snug and warm with us at home, and if the weather is too bad, Karen' store might even be close. Tom has the day off anyway.

And I'll report as soon as we know any more.
