The Weather.

Wow. After temps in the 20's today got up to 50F, tomorrow 50 dropping to 20 and snow!
I can take it when it snows then melts for the next round, but does seem to take a toll on how people feel
 
Crews are already out and standing by. So bizarre. Still no confirmation from weather channels other than something is brewing. Could start in 12 hours or so. People are thinking the electric company is just putting it out there in the event there is a power outage. They can say, “well I warned you.” Lol. They took a beating after Isaias. Some people were out for ten days and more. We were only out 60 hours or so. I guess we will see.
I’m secretly hoping we do get hit...not really bad but bad enough to cancel Christmas. 😮😁Then we can reschedule continue to quarantine. The longer the quarantine the better, haha. Wish I had thought of that initially. I think it’s the 14 days that has me concerned. If we did a little longer I’d be more secure. Oh well. Everything is in motion. Time to sit back and see how it all plays out, weather and Christmas.
We have the generator filled and will get more gas later this morning as back up.

I got a few warning texts and an email from my internet service provider. It started before the storm made the news or the official forecast.

It’s a beautiful day here. We just took a walk by the water.

We’re under a High Wind Warning starting at 6pm. It says there will be gusts of up to 65mph.

It’s a very nice day here too right now. Of course I didn’t make it outside for a walk. I’m pretty busy preparing foods for tomorrow. Plus I’ve been up since 3 so not really feeling energetic. But I can get a nap in around 2 o’clock and then get a walk in before it gets dark.

It is the calm before the storm here too! A nice day though the wind is gusty! I have 2 weather alerts on my phone, a freeze watch and a wind chill advisory. It is going to be the coldest Christmas day here since 1995!

It’s going to be warm here, lol. Around 55 degrees but the day after the temps will plummet!

It’s still really nice here. I have the back door cracked to let in some fresh air. It’s been too cold to do that for a while.

I’m looking forward to this, “storm.” It sounds like a lot of hype over nothing, but you never know.

We went to the beach, and my friend worked on a new hole.

@NYC Gardener he is such a handsome pup! 😍

I’m hoping it’s hyped up too. It really doesn’t look like it’s going to do anything. Plus, this is the second time we are totally prepared with the generator/extra gas and all of our electronics charged. So we definitely wo’nt lose power, lol. It will happen when we are uprepared, haha.

It’s so warm I didn’t even have to put the heat on when I got up this morning. Usually, it’s the first thing I do.

We just went for a 3 mile walk. The weather is still perfect - warm, with a gentle breeze. Literally the calm before the storm. If the storm happens.

My friend is so sweet, in addition to being handsome. He’s cuddling right now, thanking me for the walk. He always thanks me. When he’s eating, he’ll stop and just give me a long, appreciative look. He’s giving me hugs and kisses right now. I’m so lucky to be sharing my life with him.

Very chilly this morning. Yahoo says it's 36, the phone says it's 37 so it is cold! The sun is coming up nice and bright though and it will get up into the 50's later.

Rain but no “storm” to speak of. I think it skipped us
Same here. I was very happy about not getting the high winds. We did get a ton of rain, but that was it, thankfully. Today it's back to actual winter. Highs only in the low 30s.

Wow -- we got all the snow again! Two feet on top of my car! I pulled out hoping it would fall in the street, as my driveway had it's fill, but it stayed.
Temps in the upper 40's predicted next week so we should at least thaw out before the next one. I'm glad it came on days off, but feel bad for the people who had to go out in it--especially the plow drivers!

I had to scrape frost off my windshield this morning! It was in the low 30's!! It only made it into the low 50's this afternoon. I left my heater on when I went to work. It is starting to get cold again now. Another frost predicted for tonight!
