Donna is still around, but I'm keeping a low profile here in the garden. I had some very rough driving this week, but made it to the nursing home my scheduled days.   I'm taking advantage of the storm and trying to get somewhat caught up at the shop. I have some reports that must be sent off electronically and I'm getting those sent off while we still have electricity.  We still have power although most of the people in rural areas are without lights.  We have no water at the shop, so I have go home and make my pit stops.  LOL   Just into North Dakota, the storm is very bad.  Tomorrow the winds will start again and we'll all be socked in. The guys are busy getting generators hooked up in case of power failure at the shop to keep the furnace running.  It's a coal burner and heats with hot water.  We can't let the pipes freeze.  They are also trying to rig up something here  at the house so we can run the furnace. Luckily the temps are mild with this storm 20's and 30's.   The grocery store in town is pretty well out of milk, bread.   I'm not heading down to the nursing home until Tues and by then this storm will have blown over we should have water at the shop and life will continue.

Think Charleston Donna.

Are you getting a lot of snow with this storm? It sounds like a nasty one for sure. I think we're getting it in the form of rain mostly...at least that's what my head says. It's just pounding. What happened to the water supply at the shop? I hope the guys get the generators up and running so you don't lose power/heat.

Good luck out there gf...I'll be thinking about you.

You are so calm.
It's amazing.
We would all be going CRAZY here if we thought that weather was coming here tomorrow.

Donna glad you can just hunker down and keep warm. Good grief! I don't know how you all deal with all that bad weather. Glad you all are getting something rigged up to keep your heat going.

You folks are becoming rather famous with our weather reports. I hope you don't lose power and that the woter gets fixed; this must curb your coffee drinking.

Diet soda and iced tea have the same affect. Do you have water yet or a mound of yellow snow leading to your car?
