Preparing for a possible storm here. Tomorrow around noon some snow will be falling but they can’t guess really how much. Possibly 5-8 inches. Then rain on top of that, and then snow again on top of that. So it’s a layer cake of slush.
The grocery store was packed with people, as expected. All I really needed was some more rock salt. I’ve started filling containers with water, in case of frozen pipes, broken water lines, etc. The car is filled with gas, the snow cover will go on the windshield (my garage is so full of boxes ever since I emptied the storage units that I can’t park in there if I wanted to).
I’m cooking some lentils and maybe salmon. There’s plenty of firewood. I guess I’m ready -- I can sit back and read Wonkette and otherwise ignore the news.
If it makes you feel any better in 1977 on this day we get 'hit' with a light dust of snow--paper had headlines "Snowstorm hits South Florida!!"
