Our household awakened to - SURPRISE - sleet on top of the snow and "wintry mix" this morning, with all the doors and windows singing the sleet song - snap, crackle, pop. So much for the idea of snow cream. lol
On alert here in case of power outage or trees down, that sort of thing.
Worship services all around our area are cancelled today. I was so relieved, frankly, about dusk yesterday, when we got our email cancelling church. In the first place it was going to be chancy-scary on the roads even with the mildest weather model, and in the second, there's such a release from pressure for me personally, since our household is deep into new-normal settling, for meds and such.
Yesterday was a day of several of the children helping us around here as we tried to think of everything that had to be handled before the storm. Dstepson got the wellhouse ready with a new heat lamp, put down new straw in the henhouse and new lightbulb under their flower-pot stand for the water. Ds went to the pharmacy for us in his 4-wheel drive and also picked up a few other things we realized we'd need. Dd picked up a package that was waiting, too. Ddil was on the phone again, talking us through changes in HRH's meds.
I had made the mail with the very last of Desk Day mailing that will be needed until about the 17th, so that's off my mind. Our own mail included a vitamin bottle and I was able to get that right into the house rather than having the bottle sit in the frozen mailbox.
Thinking of others who may be affected by weather today. I believe LadyM posted hers was definitely affecting her household.
Dee, have the unfortunate surprises from the poor fencing finally ended in your area? I was so sorry to read about the events.
