Can We Talk 2

Snow, snow, snow

         I suppose everyone is writing or at least talking about the big historic storm we're expecting. At least I don't live in one of the areas expecting the worst. They are talking about 8- 12 inches of snow followed by freezing temps. Two days ago, they were predicting 18 inches and ice. With freezing afterwards, some of the snow may turn into ice. I'm going out tomorrow to put gas into the car and do some panic shopping for foods that don't need cooking in case the power goes out.

         I have candles, flashlights, a propane heater. At the store I will get bottled water if they still have it, milk, eggs and bread. I think I will boil some eggs once the snow starts, so I will some protein ready for next week when we are powerless. The predictions are no snow until tomorrow night. I will not hit the streets when the storm stops, but will hibernate, except for a few ventures to shovel a path and clean the car. I can't do the whole driveway for fear of heart attack. I will try a little at a time. Sometimes a neighbor with a plow will do the street entrance to my drive and about halfway up. I can stay put until the roads are clear. Hopefully, the power won't be off that long if at all.

         Well, we have a little something for speculation and for small talk. The results will determine if we have something to remember next year or thereafter.
