Think I managed to get enough off the roof that it won't collapse and require a battle with the insurance company.
Aw, well.
Lights are starting to flicker, so we're putting the heat up a little higher to give us some wiggle room in case we lose power. Lost three four-story pine trees (pics later on those).
Our neighbor's Ford F150 (big pickup truck) is completely buried now.

They're not flickering anymore anyway. Thinking we'll be alright. Plus, there are streaming services for iPhone now, I think. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
Fortunately, we had wood and a wood stove in the LR that would heat that room significantly and it has a relatively flat lip on the top on which we could heat water, make soup from a can, fry an egg, etc. I learned to crush coffee beans with the flat of the blade of my chef's knife, etc. Hope that the power outages don't become too widespread where you are. The bigger the outage, the longer to restoration.
This winter has been a worse here than last year, with snow on the ground for almost total of a month now, but fortunately we have not had an ice storm or a power outage. I have been thinking about you and Cat the last day or so as this has developed. Be well. As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
You might get blown away in PR, but you are not likely to freeze.
ABSOLUTELY!! In the north, I would be a lost puppy! "Beware of the man who does not talk, and the dog that does not bark." Cheyenne

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
She's been pretty hilarious. We've had about a bajillion robins flying around and landing on trees at random, so she's been at the window doing that thing cats do when they're chirping and having something approaching a mild seizure due to the excitement of prey so close up.

magic...
our last snowfall just quit melting yesterday, and now the terrain is as waterlogged as i've ever seen it...and it keeps raining some more.

We're going to be drenched as this melts away. Figure by the end we should top 20", which would be the second-largest accumulation in DC history. They're going to be under more than 30" in Baltiless, and the western counties in Maryland are going to be snowed in for days, I suspect. The center of it moved a bit north at the last minute.
Can't imagine what folks in western VA and West Virginia are dealing with. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
