The Weather.

Text from my Electric Company. Yippee.

Eversource: We're tracking and preparing for a major storm impacting New England Thursday night, Friday and into Saturday morning. Heavy rain and sustained high winds may topple trees, bring down power lines and could cause multi-day power outages heading into the holiday weekend. We're ready to respond to outages quickly and safely. See ways you can prepare: Eversource.com.
 
Another cloudy dreary day with temps in the low 60's. We are now under a freeze watch for tomorrow night when the cold front gets here. Saturday's high is predicted to be 27 with a wind chill factor making it feel like 19! 😲

yup we are under Warning for the same storm system - I have tons of water in containers in the tub, lots of drinking water, and lots of food in general - bought us some new flashlights and batteries today and have a small battery pack for charging phones etc - at least it is winter and I can put the freezer / fridge stuff outside if any power outages are extended...

I feel bad for all the people hoping to travel - a niece is hoping to go home to Mexico on Saturday... and my brother/wife are supposed to fly from Northern Ontario through Toronto and on to Fort Lauderdale on Sunday........ ugh - so happy it isn't me - plus they are going on a cruise.... that's where they were when Covid started... you'd think they might have learned......... you wouldn't catch me on a cruise (even pre covid) and definitely not on a plane to get there.

They're saying temps in the 40's thurs night with rain thru early friday then plummeting around 4am to the single digits with snow and wind
I definitely took my last day off for tomorrow!!!
 
I'm hoping it's being over hyped because it's the Christmas weekend. It's still very quiet out there at almost 4 am.
 
Three trees down and a blown transformer so far. About 500+ without power but mine is still on…woohoo!! I’m going to run to Big Y…they’re running on generator because their power is out.
 
I got up at 8:10 am and all was calm, still wet from our rain yesterday and temp was 2C/38F and within 30 minutes our windows fogged up, the wind started with the snow and now it is dropping rapidly -3C/26F with a wind chill of -10C. So happy I don't have to go anywhere.

so crazy happy to be home today!
Really feeling so so so fortunate. My windows and front door are sealed with plastic, and we're all together and warm.
The real temp is now -3 F, windchill -30, and winds on/off kicking up like mad
 
It was raining lightly when I left work as the cold front comes through. Now the sun is coming out but the temperatures are dropping. It is now 60 and going down and down into the 20's overnight. I am going to bring all my potted plants in this afternoon.

Trees are still falling and bringing down power lines. New posts popping up on Facebook all day saying power is out. I'm still lucky! 🤞

It has dropped to 42 right now and going down steadily. I put my heat on briefly to make sure it works! I put my heavier comforter on my bed too. I only use it a couple times a year!

We've been extremely lucky to keep power too! Down our road power lines caught fire and i haven't heard if they're back up or not.
I've done little but put plastic on most every window and hang an old blanket over the side door. The kitchen window I've never put plastic on because it always seemed to seal just fine. Today there is some ice on the inside! 😱🥶
