Today's Forecast

Today's weather forecast is 30 mph winds and flying monkeys..... We have another 6 inches on the ground and it's still snowing.

I managed to get three bottles of propane yesterday and my heater and lantern came in from Cabelas, so I should be okay even if the power goes out for a few hours. All the snow had me thinking, so I went back online to Cabelas and Amazon to order a few additional emergency supplies.

I'm expecting an adapter that will allow me to fill small propane bottles from my 20 pound propane grill tank. Every store was out of propane yesterday, it was like gold. And as you know, I have an unnatural attachment to flashlights.... so I ordered the best headlamp from Amazon I could find. I may be eating hot dogs the rest of the month due to my online shopping spree lol, but it will be worth it.

Flying monkeys? I love it!! We are also expecting some more tomorrow and Friday.

I am glad all your supplies came in and that you are ready for the next wave. BTW did you remember batteries for all your flashlights?

Hi Greg - Our power was off for 3 days. Felt like I was on Survivor and could not do anything to get voted OFF the Island.

I thought you were going to say that you got 3 bottles of WINE but I guess propane is much safer. LOL. Yes, be safe.

SEND THE SNOW TO ME!!!

We have nothing up here in Upstate NY for snow. We got about a 1/2 inch yesterday and that's it. This winter has been crazy for us....bitter cold, but no snow. I'll take snow anyday!

Tamara, 3 days must have been so hard to do, sorry! Glad it's back on, hope your doing well now.

I have plenty of wine I bought two cases from cape cod this year!
