Staying safe and warm.
A hearty hello from New Hampshire’s North Pole! I woke to -5 degrees today with a strong wind, giving us a wind chill of -25! I have layered up, and Heidi continues to love her puffer jacket.
I went out yesterday, gassed up my car, picked up my mail, and got the last groceries I will need to get through the big storm, which begins on Sunday afternoon and goes through until late Monday afternoon. They have pretty much shut down New Hampshire during that time, as the forecast is for 12-18 inches of the fluffy white stuff! They are advising people to get their houses ready and then stay home.
On Friday, we had light snow all day. I checked my oil tank on Tuesday and saw it was only half full. I called my supplier and was assured they would fill it on Friday morning. By 4:15 pm, I was nervous that they had forgotten me. Well, they said I wouldn’t get my tank filled until Sunday! If I do not get my fuel oil before the big storm, I will be looking for a new oil supplier. I do not like the feeling of worry I get when the oil is low. After all, in subzero weather, pipes freeze, and so do Heidi and I.
So, gentle readers, stay warm, break out the hot chocolate, watch some entertaining movies, and of course, football on Sunday!
