Good afternoon, Yard.

I think we are well prepared for the 2 feet that is predicted for our area. I’m kinda worried about my wife though. She’s only 5 foot tall so that leaves only 3 feet of her sticking out of the snow. So I bought her a hunter’s orange scarf. That should be good enough to spot her location if she slipped and fell whilst shoveling the drifts. On my end I have enough food and drinks to last a week. If the power goes out I have a manual coffee grinder and a survival stove. I hope everyone is adequately prepared also.

Way to go Ray ! Good that you're prepared, and it was nice of you to consider your wife's safety.

Hopefully we’re prepared as well. It’s 9 degrees now and predicted to get down to 7. And when it’s all told by sometime Sunday we could have 8-12 inches of snow.

I picked up a gallon of of milk, some more Earl Gray tea toilet paper and bread so we should be OK. as long as pur furnace works. It’s be3n wonky some lately. But if I turn the thermostat to off and back on it works OK, at least for a while. Ir’s be3n working fine for about a week then started acting up today again.

You should have had the furnace serviced BEFORE the arctic blast Randy.

We did have it looked at and everything turned out OK, then it just started acting up with THIS problem and out heat/ac guy is getting slammed.

Good COLD morning Yard. I will have to sweep off the porch and yard in a little while, ahead of the major snowfall. We won't be going anywhere for a few days as our road is always one of the last to get plowed.

It was 8 degrees while I was clearing the deck and front porch, getting ready to drive down to the mailbox and then sweep some more. It's supposed to snow most of the day and then more overnight.

Got down to 7 degrees. I THINK before morning they are predicting -4 degrees for a low. It’s either Sunday or Mo day morning.

I think our low is predicted to be 7 below, and add about another 10 degrees for wind chill. I just finished brushing the snow off the deck for the fourth time, trying to keep ahead of the buildup overnight.
