Already?
We have had
more than a week of below zero weather here in western Maine – I am not
complaining because that is part of the package we have chosen.
There is a
weather system coming up the coast that is supposed to affect us with blizzard
conditions tomorrow.
Today temps have come up reaching twenty and tomorrow is forecast at twenty-six; but with snow falls
of two to three inches per hour and wind gust up to fifty miles-per-hour.
During the heavy snow there will be whiteout
conditions and large portions of the state are expected to be without power as
a result of the wind.
This is a
hunker-down time. Our wood supply is in,
we have plenty of food in the house, a supply of bottled water; and battery,
oil and gas lamps. We have done this
before.
I got extra gas
for the snow blower today; but probably won’t dig out until Friday.
This is
unusual weather for this time of year.
Temperatures and storms of this nature are common in late January and
February – but not this early.
Must watch out for the white walkers tomorrow!
