As of 1:15 here at The Compound, Snowmageddon has begun. So far, it's a fine snow but you can see it on roof tops and on the grass.
We are as prepared as we can be. I am still praying for the power to stay on and for the pipes not to freeze. We had a good late lunch and are warm and ready for a nap. When we wake up, I will put a log in the fireplace.
Snow storm/birthday week meals and treats are planned. Tomorrow, I will make a pot of taco soup.
Stay tuned for updates.
As of this morning, the weatherazzi is calling for us to get 12-18 inches of snow here in the Ville. Not really looking forward to that forecast which includes freezing rain. But we are as prepared as we can be here at The Compound. Shortly, I will bundle up and go out to the carport with my trusty wheel barrow and haul up some wood to store on the porch if we need it. As long as the power holds up, we will be fine. I've got some gallon jugs of water filled just in case, and have a big 4 gallon container filled to use. We have enough food here in the house to probably last us a month. Just praying for the power to hold out.
Stay tuned.
As of noon today, the weatherazzi is still calling for 8-12 inches of snow here in the 'Ville. We are as prepared as we can be.
I did make a trip to Kroger this a.m. to see if they had rock salt but of course they were sold out. I did buy another six pack of Duraflame logs. And then when I went to GFS to get coffee, lo and behold they had plenty of rock salt and ice melt. Score.
This morning, we had a small dusting of snow with some sleet. It created a major mess in the 'Ville. I stayed home from my Wednesday Bible study and I sure am glad I did - the Watterson Expressway was shut down in three different places - the route I take.
Now we have to get ready for Snowmageddon coming Saturday through Monday. I was proactive and went to the grocery yesterday, and tomorrow I am going to get a big bag of rock salt and a case of Duraflame logs. We will be as ready as we can be.
TWIT and I would like to congratulate IU on winning the college football championship. We are proud of our neighbors up north.
When I ran some errands yesterday morning, I noticed that every road I drove on had been brined, in anticipation of snow. We didn't get any snow last night, and late this evening as I was coming back from Wendy's, I could see a few flurries but that was it. Who knows? I don't think the weatherazzi nor the department of roads knows.
As I posted on Monday, I paid the taxes and registered the Silver Bullet for another year instead of waiting like I usually do till I get the little pink and white card from the County Clerk saying how much I owe. Fast forward to today. I was pleasantly surprised to see the new registration and my year tag for the license plate in the mailbox. I was also surprised to see the little pink and white card from the County Clerk telling me how much I owe.
