Well FWIW, ~we~ haven't been having record breaking weather.
'Course I shouldn't say things like that. Wife and I are heading to Kentucky this afternoon. We'll stop at my mom's for the night. Will be back home late Saturday.
I'll check in as I can.
Have fun!
We haven't been having reocrd breaking weather either. A bit of snow, nothing more than is fun and pretty. Cold, but not that cold. No ice or monsoons.
They're predicting another arctic blast, this one from the northeast, sometime between January 28th and February 4th --- very cold, lingering for several days. That, in itself, isn't good. However, one of our weather weenies says that the "conveyor belt" of moisture --- the low in Northern Mexico that caused the snow and ice storms --- will still be running during this chill. (It's running now ... we're getting rain here in Austin today.)
I would suggest that we all examine our hunkering-down plans, add what we learned from the last blast, and adjust as necessary.
I plan to add a good brandy and a nice wine to our liquor collection, and something to feed the fireplace. Also, a stuffed wiener dog to stuff under the doors ... our back door lets in a heckuva chill!
When our weather comes from the northeast, it's typically bad ...
Have a safe trip!
