Snowpocalypse!

It seems to be the 'storm of the century' around here, at least according to the weather forecasters, so we're battening down the hatches ands preparing to ride it out.  The storm seems to cover the entire continent and it's been called snowmagedon, and a 'bomb cyclone'.  Christmas travel has been cancelled for us and most others, as visibility in rural areas is impossible.  Like many, we'll do our visiting later next week.

The snow is blowing horizontally, and I can hear the howling wind outside.  Snow is supposed to continue right through until Monday, so we won't be going anywhere.  The temperature has dropped from +1° to -5°, and they're predicting a flash freeze which could make roads treacherous.  Still, that's nothing like the temperature drops reported across the Mid-West.

Windchills are fierce across the U.S., though they're not that unusual for us.  We're actually warmer than places to the south of us in Ohio.  Waves driven by the howling winds will be damaging many great Lakes shorelines.

We're better off than many here in Meaford, as we're prepared for this sort of weather, food, water and flashlights all at the ready - though this doesn't often happen over the Christmas weekend!  A far cry from Texas and much of the southern U.S. which is shivering!  

Take care and stay at home!
