I would bet that from the time I took this screenshot till the time I got it on my computer, cropped and saved it, then FOUND where it had saved it to, the storm had moved from the position pictured to on top of us. Or nearly. My computer being a pain in the backside!
Herre comes the storm. It promises at the moment to drop more than 6 inches on us before midnight. It looks like it could. It is on an easterly by a tidge north easterly track, putting it on us absolutely. As usual, it will be interesting to see how the forecast works out, however, I think this one will produce. It doesn’t look like it is going to fake us out, as so often seems to happen. We had one recently that was meant to drop a load of snow on us, and all it did was rain.
We have some firewood on the pile, but there could do with being a lot more. I could cut some up, or I could see about just putting a bunch where it can fit under the cover and cut it later. With this storm moving in fast, that might be a better option. I have badly cut boards that would be good to burn. They could do with bringing over then cutting with the circular saw. Much safer and easier to mess about with than the chainsaw. So that’s a thought. One way or another I need to go out, in the cold, and mess about with this. It is the in the cold part I am not looking forward to. But who wants the cold in the house? Not me! So, it has to be done!
That’s my plan for today. Also, keeping the delivery apps running. I am not making much at the moment. But I just need enough. That’s all anyone could really ask for, isn’t it?
It is hard to believe that the snow that comes today will put down on grassy fields. Our place is clear of snow. That is not a normal February here, to me. It happens, I guess. But I record these entries, so they are there as the anecdotal record of what the weather is up to. My weather station only tells a part of the story, after all. Also, Thomas Jefferson kept daily entries in his journal, and I feel in a way I am relating to him in a human way. And with that, I think the time has come for coffee and to begin to build courage up against the cold. Last mention: The temperature forecast suggests we will be free of what falls soon after. Again, we shall see!
