Hello Everyone,
Hopefully, you are staying warm! The only words that come to mind are Ice, Ice Baby! Then that 1990’s tune begins to play in my head!
[stextbox id=”warning”]If you are having problems with your heating, please call 843-821-0937. As long as the roads are passable, we will try and help![/stextbox]
The power at our house has gone out several times this morning. The rain has been falling all morning, and the temperature hasn’t risen. There are several bridges closed, and the roadways are dangerous.
As I am writing this, our power has gone out again. I cannot remember when the electricity to our home has been so unstable. It just shows that amazing power of simple elements like rain, cold, ice, etc. Fortunately, my battery on my laptop hasn’t died yet, and I am using my cell phones hot spot to connect to the internet. All is well.
This morning, I took our two pugs out to potty. It was so rainy and cold. Of course, the dogs weren’t thrilled about going outside. As we were walking around the neighborhood, I noticed how sad the Palm trees looked. Normally, they are so perky. They always remind me of the beach… a warm, sandy, breezy beach. A far cry from what it is right now.
In Summerville, Main Street and the bridge on the Berlin G Myers Parkway has been closed. The local news just reported that a large pine tree has fallen on top of a mobile home. This is much worse that I thought that it would be.
I hope that your heat is working and you are safe at home with your family. If you have to be out in this mess, be patient and take your time. I often say that I would rather wait a few minutes longer, than wait for an ambulance to arrive!
Blessings!

Well, here we are. We have a winter storm (supposedly) coming that is going to make the roadways icy. The report that we just got was that they may have between a quarter to a half an inch of ice. Tonight the low is going to be around 37°F tonight, and tomorrow the high is supposed to be 37°F. Tomorrow night there is a prediction of freezing weather (sleet and possibly snow).
Of course, I am saying to myself…”this is crazy… it is not going to be that bad”. What is all this “hoop-la” about. Well, look back to the first paragraph. I didn’t think Hugo was going to be a big deal either.
Please prepare for this cold weather. Insulate your pipes. Let water drip so that it doesn’t freeze. Here is a post that I did a few weeks ago. It is definitely worth reviewing.
