Feels like -15 with windchill here and snow. FINALLY, a breath of winter for a few days

Actually, I WISH it was freezing rain...I could break out the skates! Or dream of it, anyway!

Power went off about half an hour ago and wind is just a howling! Hope it comes on soon, but at least I got my shower first and the wifi is on a battery back up....

Hope you don't have to use it! Seems to be just around us in South Bay. Bigger is with all the rain the sump isn't pumping out the basement which is now flooded...

Hope everyone has their power back on and all is OK! Nice light dusting of snow, maybe a couple of centimetres. The chickens aren't going to like it.
I had to towel dry them all last night.
