I’m not sure what’s going on with WP, but they’ve done something to it. Why mess with the Classic editor? It’s simple for us non-techies and I’ve enjoyed using it since starting blogging at WP. Now you’ve effed with it. Put the KISS option back the way it was please.
I was snowed in from last Friday until this past Wednesday by choice. Had an appointment yesterday (Thursday) so went out to the garage Weds and found the garage lock frozen. With a WD40 and handwarmer packet remedy, an hour later I got ‘er done. It was 26F and little wind so not that bad while clearing 15″ of light powder. The following pics were taken on Weds.
Today it is much colder and stormier out there!
What’s it like in your neck of the woods?? Stay warm everybody!

That sure looks like a lot of snow and so cold. We are expected to get ice and snow starting this afternoon through Monday. Not a fan! Keep warm! :)

Thanks Jim. They changed something with my classic. Now I have to click inside of boxes to write text. 80 degrees is 80 degrees hotter than it is here. Think about that. Waiting for a day we can walk through a portal to another place.

Winter is wayyyy worse where you are, Lisa. Yet, we’re apparently going to try to give you a run for your money this weekend. Latest forecast here in the Philly suburbs is for at least a foot of snow on Sunday, and then single digit temps at night next week. As long as the power hangs in there, we’re all good. I will say Mrs. B and I wandered into the local grocery store late this afternoon and it was cleaned out. The Philly area has a long-standing reputation of emptying grocery stores whenever we have one of these storms, so we should have known.😁 Hang in there!

We could walk… but nearest store is like 5 miles away… we do have food… I feel like such a complainer! We found out the CEMC hasn’t even assigned a crew for us.
If we had power… being stuck would be fine.
One lady at work is without power and she has her 90 year-old parents with her so we could be doing much worse. Tonight it’s getting down to around zero but tomorrow the high is 31 and that will be a heat wave for us.

Oh my goodness, Max. I’m worried for you. They haven’t even assigned a crew yet :( If your work friend has to she should call an ambulance for her parents. Better they are at a warm hospital.
Zero is no joke for anybody but for the elderly it can be deadly!
Glad you can see 31 tomorrow.
