I talked a couple of weeks ago to someone who just came back from Europe where she was visiting her mother.

She said people are terrified and panicked about what winter will bring.

I'm thinking that families will double, triple, and quadruple up in one house. This way they can share one power bill.

I wonder how many houses will be destroyed when the pipes freeze and burst during the night and then drench the houses in the day?

Heard wood stoves have a two year waiting period in Europe.

I can imagine, and we’re not too far behind.

Joe Bastardi, who seems to do rather well with his midrange forecasts, forecasted a very mild, long summer that would last through October. Then he said Nov, Dec, and Jan were going to be really rough in the northeast.

Not sure what he’s saying for the rest of the country or the later part of winter. I just paid enough attention to what he was predicting to get us set for the winter.

Before the snow flies and the prices skyrocket, we are going to top off our propane, fuel oil, and try to have as much firewood cut, split, and stacked to get us into next year.

We also had a phenomenal harvest from my garden this year so will have enough food to manage with what we get from the stores as well.
