Tuck and I like to live on the edge.

Mudmucker, have you thawed out any over there??

Speaking of bizarre weather, check out this cool cloud:

Holy Toledo! That would scare the rice outta me!

It's rather like an optical illusion.

Thanks for posting that, Sundial. You are truly our Weather Mistress! I think clouds are so cool. I have the Audubon Guide to the Weather and they have all sorts of clouds in that book.

That is one freaky cloud!

No power yet, and it is day 7. Some people in our town have been told after Christmas for restoration (a full TWO weeks after the storm).

Woohoo !! I just got word from the neighbor the power on my road is back ! Temps in the house were ranging between 39 and 44 F and that was getting real tiresome after a week.

Whew. Just in time - there is a big storm predicting 10 inches or so tomorrow Friday, flurries on Saturday, then snow again on Sunday. If power isn't coming on for people by tonight, I can't see how work crews will be able to proceed well in this upcoming weather through the weekend.

I have my main turned off in the event things got back on when I wasn't home. I might leave work a little early to go turn it on. Then get ready to snowblow myself out from my 100-foot driveway.

I have my cable line strewn across my yard. Don't know if they fixed that. I don't care. It will be soo nice to have heat.

Bambu I was wondering what goes, your way. Although you said you have wood stoves and generators, generators get very old too. Yes, I've heard dire predictions on power restoration for some people.

Mudmucker, that's great news!! Hope you have a cozy, warm house waiting for you when get home tonight.

Bambu, that really stinks! Are you having to take cold showers??

Tulip, I am a skywatcher and secretly desire to be a weather alertist.
