Yes we are having a snowstorm. If I was back home on PEI I’d understand but here in Gulf Shores, Al? Unbelievable.
Now it’s nothing like the storms back home, really no comparison, but as people here aren’t used to them it’s something else.
On Sunday it was announced that schools would be closed Monday (Martin Luther King Day), Tuesday, and Wednesday (impending snow storm). Local government offices, library, recreation centre etc closed Tuesday and Wednesday. Stores closed today for sure.
Temperature 0 Celsius (32F) feels like -14 Celsius (8F).
Some info regarding the current storm.
Info about their last snow storm in 2014.
Many posts about taking precautionary measures.
For the past two days we’ve been having the taps turned on to keep water flowing through the pipes. Don’t want them to freeze. And we’ve been told to keep them running until Thursday.
Went to bed last night with trepidation. Worried about electricity and heat. Figures. Sometime during the night the power and heat went out. The electricity flickered on and off for quite a while but by 6 it finally stayed on. Heat took a bit longer but all is ok now. 🤞🏼
So what to do.
Find the joy in the snow
Be creative
This house has three bedrooms. So……
The front bedroom became our “theatre”.
I had popcorn. Richard had his “storm chips”.
Great way to spend the afternoon.
Then homemade chicken soup for supper. Super glad I made that a couple of days ago. Yummy.
Now fingers crossed that tonight all goes well.
