We are in the worst wind and snow storm I think ever. They say the winds are up to 75 MPH. The north side of everything is iced over including my front window! I woke up to rain and then a power outage, and seriously thought I might need to bug out! It was so cold in here. I do not know what people do for days without power. I could not take a couple of hours. Christie left for Germany Monday morning and I miss her already. I am glad she did not experience this. Something is banging on the roof, I think it is a cord to the swamp cooler, and I think something was trying to gnaw into the back room. It is quiet now, so did it freeze? The cable keeps blinking in and out so I had to put in a DVD. The city told employees not to come in today and let everyone know that all non-essential services would be closed. I have heard sirens all day and hope folks are not driving. The news channel is calling it a bomb cyclone. 1,000 flights have been canceled and folks are stranded at the airport. There must be an organization to care for these folks. Of course I wish I had a generator and hubby was looking for the heaters. I think about the homeless and how did they get word to go to a shelter, as I only saw a message on facebook. This is not a spring storm by any means, and it is moving east.
