Walmart was jammed I still got the first handicapped spot by the door. I had to wait a few minutes for a cart but that was when I was talking with the Coasties. They had ALL the checkout lines open. You would have thought it was the day before Thanksgiving. I did run into a pair of retired Chiefs I know.
We are looking at an historic winter storm down here on the Florida/ Georgia border. It's the first time in 11 years that there has been a Winter Storm Warning in north Florida. We are looking at about .1" of Gorebull warming ice with an inch of sleet/snow on top of that.
It is right on the border of rain & sleet. I don't care. I'm home with the groceries. The trash and recycling are out. Our neighbors just arrived home from DC safely. All is well.

Sleet and freezing rain are the worst for the power industry. Well, outside of crazy tornadoes and Cat 4+ hurricanes anyway. If ice builds up on lines, then can come down, and as ice builds up on trees, the branches fall on lines - mostly distribution lines since the major transmission corridors generally have trees cleared way back from the wires.
But none of that is my problem now since I be retired.

Hunker down and savor the taste of liberal tears. Stay safe!
