Under the Weather

March 1, 2009 by Jeanne

Well I’m home today, feeling under the weather…and waiting for the actual weather to roll in, in the form of more ice and snow. We’re expecting up to seven inches of the white stuff starting later today. Normally I look forward to snow storms. I love being cozy and warm and watching the snow swirl by. Unfortunately, now that I live on a 17 acre pine tree farm in a very rural area, we lose power a lot. Sometimes on bright sunny days. So I’m not optimistic. I’ve got the requisite gallon of water per person stored in the cellar, food that doesn’t require electricity to cook, and blankets for all. Brrr. See everyone when I see you.

    Good luck! You must have to be so organised! We’re lucky that we can walk to the nearest village in half an hour even in thick snow so I know I can always pick up something if necessary.

    Like you though I always keep 8 litres of drinking water just in case!
