I am in Minnesota, so not much help to you. But the sky was very red in the east at sunrise and an eerie purplish gray in the west. Which is odd because the only rain I see is way to the east of us.

Sad to say, that’s the worst side of the storm to be on, the right hand side of the direction it’s traveling. in.

Can any FReepers out there report on what the winds are doing in their area? Im in central PA, near York. We had a pretty good squall move through early this morning but now a steady rain. If definitely got chillier and the wind is picking up. We are not supposed to get the worst of it until later this afternoon through tonight heavy rain, sustained 30-40 mph winds with gusts 60+ mph, perhaps even up to 75.
Like you we have had days of overcast and morning fog with drizzle and one morning the fog was as bad as Ive seen it around here.

I have a tree twice the size of my house in my front yard.
It's a maple, so if it goes I'm have enought cords of wood to last three years.
Of couse if it goes in the wrong direction, I won't have a house to burn the wood in.

>Whatever happened to rinsing and filling milk bottles and soda bottles with tap water. I have six gallons all full and stashed away. Cost almost nothing.<
I’ll do you one better. We’ve got a bunch of gallon jugs with drinking water, plus a 32 gallon trash can filled with water for the animals and for flushing (since we’re on a well - no power, no H2O).

I saw that on Fox this morning. Pretty boring here...a little wind, leaves on the sidewalk and grey skies. Not that I’m complaining. :)
