New Major Winter storm coming - prayers again, please? (3 pics #11)

[Lizzie]

I did manage to get to the grocery store today and re-stock on the essentials of life: cat food, chocolate, bread, and pop! Oh, and carrots too!
My neighbor boy will have quite a college fund by the time this winter is over!!!

It would be interesting to see what others would buy in your place. The first two items on your list would head mine also, followed by tea and McVite's chocolate digestive cookies. (I'm always well stocked with staples so don't think that's all I eat. )

I'm sure many of us will keep checking in, like last time, to see you ride out this next storm so please keep posting. We've settled back to rain, hurrah!

Oh Connie, that is the one thing I worry most about for you - that your power stays on!!!

If it really got bad - do you have any place that you could go - or a rescue hotline or something? Could someone pick you up - could your neighbor come to get you?

Prayers are a comin..........just a tad stronger for you this time!

Big hugs - Gini

I'm pretty much on my own. No friends or relatives in town that drive or know I'm alive apparently. The senior bus is my only way around until I can get my car fixed or a different one. That's not going to happen for a long long time. I wouldn't drive in this weather anyway.

Our bus only goes during the week and a few hours on Saturday unless the weather is bad. Our town doesn't even have a shelter. In fact, the Salvation Army moved out last year!

It's really snowing now!!!
I snuck out and took pictures before it started. I also put salt on my path to try and keep the build up from being too bad. I'm going to go out and sweep the path in a while and put more salt down. I'm going to keep that path open as much as possible.

I have little cleats that fit on my shoes so I won't slip.

Here are a couple of pics of before the storm. That is all solid frozen sleet! You can walk on it and not leave a mark!!!

My little path in front of the house:


My back yard:


This is what it's doing now: So far the salt is keeping the snow off the path. That's the little redbud tree right beside my "path".

It does look pretty, but certainly not what you need. I'm sending lots of positive thoughts that your power lines will be OK, and you'll have enough food in the house!

Stay safe and warm!

Keeping you in my prayers, MOFF!

We're getting hit with ice storms, too but not nearly as bad as ya'll. Stay warm, stay safe, and keep the furries near by for extra warmth.

MOFF you sure have my good wishes too.... I was out of electricity ( and water from my well)for 20 days straight during the 1998 ice storm in Ontario/ Quebec/New England. It was fun cooking meals at the Shelter/school hall for all the village and the linesmen from all over North America who came to help out but I wouldn't want to do it again thanks!

I hope you are fine and don't lose power!
Love from Lilith
