We tend to plan our days after we take a look at the forecast. The bitter cold we had this past week has been a topic on both local and national news. Not only was it cold but the wind howled. B had noticed that we had a major draft around the the propane fireplace in the family room. Rather than go out a buy something to cover the opening, he used a combination of heavy bath rug and some boards to eliminate the draft. It really made a difference!
Because more snow was forecast for this weekend, we headed to Sam's yesterday afternoon for a battery to be sure the lesser used car would start when needed. And I had a few things on my list - bread, bananas and a Sam's chicken. Naturally we filled the cart with some other things. And while we were there we got our flu shots. We had anticipated getting them when we visited the doctor for our 6 month check up. But since our appointment was late in November they had run out. We opted to get the shots at Sam's. While I'm not a fan of shots, I'm really not a fan of the flu. We have had flu shots each fall and have had no bad reactions and also no bouts with the flu.
And the forecast was correct. This morning snow was falling when I took Honey out for her early morning (5:30AM) walk. It's now 10 AM and the snow has turned to a kinda sleety mess. Temperatures should be in the 40s this afternoon and tomorrow. So glad we can stay home. The picture below was taken from my office window on the second floor that overlooks the driveway. It's nice being on the inside looking out!
We have these neat windshield covers that hook over the mirrors on each side. They really work!
And as you can see, the road is covered. The township plow was by spreading cinders. If the temperatures don't rise this afternoon, B and I will do some snow blowing.
