Milk, Bread & Batteries !

Around here it's milk, eggs, bread and TP. I guess the milk and bread because you don't want to be without those when what you have on hand goes stale? Eggs for sandwiches I guess and TP well, you gotta' go. Around here the words you don't want to hear are "It looks like a light dusting". Years ago a well known local weatherman made the error of predicting a light dusting and we ended up getting two blizzards back to back. Weather forecasting has improved but folks around here still get a little anxious when there's snow in the forecast :) One thing I've begun doing is when a big snow is in progress is shovel in stages. Not as young as I used to be so it's easier to shovel two or three 4-5 inch snowfalls than one 10-12 or more incher.
 
I just finished with the snow blower. Ran like a champ. Very windy. I blew most of it into the air and the wind carried it away. The plastic cage i mounted on the machine paid for itself today.

We measured in 3 flat spots. it Looks like 14 inches, but with all the drifting it's hard to tell.

That's enough for today.
Stuffed baked potato for dinner. Time to start drinking.....

We are still getting snow and wind right now. I always try to make food ahead of time.
If I lose power I can cook or reheat on the wood stove, or on the gas grill outside. I have a generator that I can wheel outside and backfeed through the house. (as long as I shut the main breaker off.).
 
So much wind with this storm. Some areas are 3 ft/ deep. and some the grass is still showing. There was a solid blanket of snow about 5" deep under all 4 cars...never saw that before.

Never lost power, did loose internet for a few hours yesterday.

Supposed to be in the 50's by Thursday. Crazy.
 
Reminds me of the grocery rush prior to a hurricane. People wipe out the bottled water and bread first. Milk won’t last very long in the south louisiana heat when your electricity is out.
Reading the depth measurements of snow reminds me of a saying in New Orleans since Katrina. People will ask “How much water did you get?”
I can’t wait to find out what The Weather Channel names the storm.
