Lol…. Forecasting the weather! My corner of the world now is the NC mountains of Cherokee County, NC. This is what I get out of the weather forecasts at the cabin.

It will snow or rain or not. It will at least black ice the roads, pretty confident of that. It will blow a lot or a hell of a lot. It will get damn cold, especially with the wind chill being below zero F.

So, I'll fill my gas tank on the truck. Make a grocery run. Top up the battery on my head lamp, already have batteries for the flash light and have candles. Got long johns, parka and a down sleeping bag. Good to go. No electricity, no problem, just an annoyance.

We lose power at the drop of a hat.

Sometimes on clear sunny days, if a tree lets go somewhere.

We’ll be ready as well. The temperatures are supposed to get pretty low Sat night, so we’ll just make sure the wood stove is cranked up and there’s a good supply of wood in the wood rack inside.
