Weather has been a big topic for the last week. It's a major holiday week end and people want to be travelling. It's the beginning of winter and we want to see winter come as late as possible.
Some of the weather reports this weekend are brutal. Reports of 3 ft. of snow is enough to paralyze me. Certain areas have been paralyzed. In Ontario , Canada , many people have been without power for several days and for some people it looks like a few more days without power.
In some areas of the U.S. they are expecting 2 to 3 ft of snow. How long will it take to clean that up and transportation be restored?
What do people do? For most people everything depends on power. Very few people are off grid. Very few people have their own power supply. Very few people have another source of heat like wood.
If the power was off at my place for 4 or 5 days we would have trouble surviving.
We've had a very cold week. Our lows have been in the minus 17 to 19C degree. This isn't that bad. We are easily able to get around. We look after our needs in the usual way.
It is forecast to warm up here in the next few days. Here's my one hope. I hope it doesn't get too warm. If it gets above freezing we get ice. Roads become slippery and walking is risky. So warm up but not too warm.
Far all of you with severe winter conditions I hope you stay safe and as comfortable as possible.
