LOL. Here in So Cal we get the news reports about all the "death and destruction" and that's a quote from a reporter. I was born and raised in upstate NY so I can see through it. Gotta sell that laundry detergent.

The Farmer's Almanac predicted a severe Winter for numerous parts of the Country.That alone should've been enough warning to already be stocked up on nonperishable items.People will make a daring rush to go out and buy eggs,bread and milk which none of these are necessities to risk your life going out in bad weather.
As long as I've got power and heat I can survive on canned corn,soup or whatever is in the pantry.Now if I only had a can opener.
Stay warm and keep safe.
One of your Smith&Wessons will open up those cans real quick.
Forecast for freezing rain tomorrow morning, yuck! Can I please trade that for 2-4 inches of snow?? Plans may change, supposed to drive an hour in the morning to pickup grandson. Just might have to be afternoon and Christmas supper instead of dinner. Crossing fingers that it will be above freezing. Possible thunderstorms Christmas afternoon, I'd say that is the gods way of telling us he doesn't like the way things are in this world today.
Merry Christmas, Peace, safe travels and all of that to my friends here!

Spent my first 37yrs in S.E. PA. where all the power lines were above ground.Can't remember having one power outage.
Been in Colorado going on 29yrs. and except for older areas the power lines are buried below ground.Doesn't matter what time of year.It seems that some disgruntled employee enjoys playing with the main switch at the station.
Here in Maine, we'll see several outages a year. Most under an hour. A few up to several hours. Occasionally some will be down for days. I hate above ground power lines.

We are getting a super white Christmas, large flakes, about 3 inches in the last 1/2 hour, visibility about 200 yards. West Central Wyoming. It is beautiful! - So far, just hope they missed on forecasting high winds.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
Not much here. Little over an inch of snow last night and its 6 above. Pretty mild winter so far.
We've only got 6-8" on the ground here, with a
prediction of freezing rain.
The supplies are laid in; food, firewood, and refreshments.
Maybe I'll go out and make snow angels!

Christmas weather is bad here in north Texas today. It's 77 degrees and muggy. It's too warm to to have a nice atmospheric fire in the fireplace, and it's not warm enough to turn on the air conditioner. We're miserable, I tell ya. Miserable!

I'm stocked up on food and just about everything else, being a prepper. A generator to run my Keurig coffee maker.. I'm not giving up my brew.

Christmas day blizzard
Absolutely crazy
Snow has wrapped up but high winds should continue through this afternoon. We live NE of Bismarck; my neighbor and I just finished plowing. Bismarck will be shut down until probably Wednesday. We figure we've received about 48" in three blizzards since December 1st. Yeah, I know it; we're nuts for living here

We have power outages here in the PNW every winter with overhead power. The problem here is the trees are always falling on power lines during the storms. Seen 70 mph wind with some of those winter storms. Trees everywhere. You need a good chainsaw and a backup. That reminds me, I need to sharpen my saw.

Car's themometer read 91 degrees yesterday, in the sun. I'm sure it was only about 85 in the shade.

We had no degrees last night, Christmas day turned out to be the heaviest snow fall for this day on record. I think 7" but the wind made some drifts, said to be above 30 degrees maybe some time this week. Sure is pretty and quiet. Hard to find 9mm brass in 7" of snow so just shooting my Mod 41.

We had cold rain all day Christmas with occasional heavy rainfall, snow is all gone.
I wonder how those pipeline protesters are doing with their camp-out in southern ND?
