2. Black coffee ☕ now, later bacon, and cheese omelette.

Big winter storm headed this way for Saturday and Sunday. Looks like the largest snowfall will be south of here. Even at that, they're still predicting 6 to 8 inches here and bitter cold. Looking at the weather map, looks like the majority of us will experience this storm.

Good Morning 🌞

We had a spammer this morning replying to a Cooking & Baking post 8 years old. LOL

5. I slept in and just making my coffee now.

My usual whole grain muffin with butter or cream cheese will follow.

TJ will be staying in a hotel adjacent to the hospital. I'll be staying out in the country with Ducky. I've a list of prep stuff to do. Mainly power failure stuff like filling the basement bath tub with water to use to flush, locating my camp stove, etc.

8. What state are you in Yonnie?

They predicting ice?

We fill our bathtub with water too. You and Ducky stay warm.

9. About 10 miles north of Charlottesville, VA

in the foothills about 6 or 7 miles from the Shenandoah National Park

[Emile]

10. That's a beautiful area.

11. Mainly snow is forecast

Looking at the gov't forecast it shows 4 to 10 inches of snow and 0 to 0.25 inches of ice. I don't recall seeing such a large range of precipitation on these forecasts before.

The storm is predicted pretty much statewide so I don't expect the state to get out in our area to plow and treat rural roads or the power company to fix problems quickly.

The internet goes through equipment a few miles away that is powered by a different source (a co-op) and it is literally the last thing on that line. There is never a short outage there, even when our house doesn't lose power. Cellular voice and data rarely works well here.
