This could be an interesting next few days. The last time it was this cold in this part of our country was almost exactly 20 years ago. I was renting the farmhouse on Jess's property, but I was ferrying firewood from his place to mom and dad's house about 2 hours away.
I expect to lose running water. I don't have a lot of confidence in the wood supply -- some of it is near perfect, but there's just not a lot of it out by the tool shed to split, which I should be doing right now instead of watching football. But most of the stuff I cut yesterday is waterlogged and spongy, i.e., useless when it's this cold.
I'm hoping the batch I cut this morning is as good as it looks.
Cat has her 4 week follow up vet appointment tomorrow at 4pm. Not much snow yet. But if it starts to blow across the lane, I don't know that the plow truck will start, given it's leaking antifreeze.
However, Moonpie is excellent company, I have plenty of dog and cat food, so I may as well stage various scenes from The Day After Tomorrow to keep us busy.
And 4 hours of Downton tonight.

Clearly, clearly! next year's project has got to be building a cozy underground bunker for the winter. (Sure, ventilation, roots, drainage, and all that. Not to mention letting the dog out now and again.)
It's been cold as fuck-all in the Northeast too, but we have lots of things to break the wind. Your plumbing stay intact?
Dude, are you okay? I gave up on Downton after the vindictiveness towards cousin Matthew by the writers. Snuggling with animals in the cold is my new favorite past time . All the best, Rundeep
