Oh DEAR.

The forecast has gotten warmer for this week.

This is not a good thing. Not, not, NOT.

Today is 29/18. Tomorrow is...37/31 with rain/snow. Thursday is 33/14 with rain/snow. You see the problem, I hope. Rain at 33 degrees is ice at 14. We are so doomed. Friday is 28/22 currently, with a few snow showers. Saturday is 34/27. Of course, this could all change again. But if it doesn't...the roads are going to be ugly through the weekend, at least.

Ohhh boy. Glad I stocked up. Hope the power stays on. (Our heat is natural gas, but of course the actual triggering mechanism to turn it on and the heat pump that comes on before the furnace are both electric, so effectively, we have no heat without power.)

Of course, the very tentative 10-day forecast (which is about as reliable as throwing darts, I suspect) shows Christmas as the first day on which we aren't below freezing for the high or low. But we are getting winter weather, just not for Christmas.

When I was watching the news on Sunday night, the weather guy was talking about all the multiple fronts that are queuing up for invasion. He said there was one coming in from the Pacific that would dump a lot of precipitation, and another coming in front the arctic to make it cold. If the two intersected to make it cold PLUS precipitation, we could get a foot and a half of snow. Scary! It doesn't look like that prediction is going to come true, but the snow/ice stuff isn't going to be much fun either.

Our weather is not looking so good over the next 4-5 days either. We've been lucky so far and the luck has to run out sometime I suppose.
