Snowing Sideways
Jan. 23rd, 2016 10:46 amLooking out the window in our front room, I can see the snow falling or rather blowing across our lawn. It is snowing sideways. To top that off, there is a lot of coast flooding due to the wind and the full moon. There have been times this morning that I haven’t been able to see the houses across the street. We are in the middle of a blizzard. The rate of snow is from 1 to 4 inches an hour depending on the band that is overhead at the time.
Due to the storm moving slightly north, we are getting it in the teeth. They are saying that 24-30 is not out of the realm of possibility and they are giving us 20 as the low end of the accumulation for the day.
This is supposes to go on until 4 AM tomorrow. Then we have a sunny day to dig out before Caroline has school on Monday.
At the beginning of the week the forecast was saying 5-8 but probably less. Then the numbers started creeping up as the week went on. Yesterday the warning came that this was going to probably be a bad one. Woke up this morning to the news that where we live is probably going to get it the worst.
There is nothing we can do but ride the storm out and dig out once it has all stopped.
We have food for if the electricity stays on and food if it goes out. The heat will be fine since it is oil heat and it is possible to just turn it on if the power goes out. All the electronics are being charged so they can last us a bit if the power goes out and we do have a generator that will give us an outlet or so if needed.
Caroline and I are going to work on her sew machine abilities and make some doll clothes today. I’ll get some work done on some puppets and the laundry finished. And tonight for dinner, I am making chili.
