Hunkered Down

Awaiting the storm - and it's a whopper by all accounts. We're right on the line of ice and snow - if the system moves a few miles south, we get 20+ inches of the white and fluffy. I never thought I'd wish for two feet of snow, but I am. Because if it stays where it is (or, gods forbid, tracks a few miles north) we get a massive dose of ice. They're talking 2 inches of icing - if that happens, we'll be without power for quite a while. Out here, that's a Bad Thing™. Two feet of snow would be a vacation by comparison.

Took me close to two hours to drive home tonight - normally it's 45 minutes. Lorraine had sheep, goats and chickens fed and eggs gathered by the time I arrived. I got the water hooked up and topped off every tank and bucket we've got, then managed to get the truck in the garage.

We're as hunkered down as we can be. Let's hope it's good enough.
