Posting from phone right now. House is getting cold. I'm thinking about heading to country kitchen or another local place for coffee. It's one of the few restaurants w power right now.

When McDonalds loses power you know it's bad. Lol

Last night then turned to snow.

Calling country kitchen now to verify they still have power. I can afford a cup of coffee still.

Came back on about 10:00.

Found out I can watch shows on my DVR when the cable is out. That was a neat discovery.

Sounds like the roads are horrible. They've close most major highways at one time or another today. Don't know if they're opened up yet.

Just a lazy day. It's supposed to be 40 degrees tomorrow so this stuff won't stick around for long.

And will have it tomorrow, even though someone made a threat. And where I live it's conceivable that someone could easily get their hands on that firepower-enough that it was referred to the feds
