Sounds like you did very well for Valentine's Day Sister! Congrats!
Hope you are doing well. Heard it is primarily ice, wind, and power outages in your neck of the woods. Reports say that Tennessee and Kentucky were hit pretty hard. Calling for 6-12 inches here. Already snowing and have a couple of inches on the ground. Got in plenty of fire wood, and all prepped in case we lose power.
Hunker down and ride it out browncoats.

Everything's shut down today.
Staying close to home. Now it's snowing on top of the ice.
Had enough of winter now. Would like very much to
have spring.

Hope you are okay out there Sister and the rest of the troops are well, safe, and warm.
We got 10 inches in my area yesterday. I was out in it last night at 11:00pm shoveling the sidewalk, the driveway, and a path to the road. Prevented me having to fool with much other than cleaning off the truck this morning. Less than half the staff showed up at work today, but of course we are one of the few businesses in the area not closed.
Tomorrow will be the tricky part once the snow melts from traffic, then refreezes overnight turning into a sheet of ice. Should make our trip.....interesting.
Be careful out there browncoats.

More snow today…temperatures dropping.
Can't see across the field for the blowing snow.
At least it's Hump Day.

Sorry to hear about the continuing bad weather Sister. Stay hunkered down, stay warm, and ride it out.
Still below freezing here, but at least the main roads are clear. Side streets and secondary roads are still a mess. Not supposed to get above freezing until Sunday and there is a chance of more snow tonight.
Time to move further South I guess.
Happy Hump Day browncoats!

RAGNAR RETURNS!!
History Channel Tonight!!
It's 4 degrees here this morning…killing cold!
But our power is on…we've got the fireplace and plenty of supplies.
And did you see where Tesla is going to be offering batteries to
power a house? Gotta look into to that!
Have a warm and safe day!

So excited for season 3 of Vikings to kick off tonight! I will be glued to the set!
4 degrees? Ugh. 12 here this morning. Snow and ice on the roads is mostly melted. Still plenty on the ground and we're not supposed to get above freezing until Saturday.
I did see an article on the Tesla batteries. That would be great, but I highly doubt that the big power companies or their backers in Congress will ever allow an affordable alternative to ever get off the ground, let alone be made available to the public.

Hope you're ok out there in the frozen wastes of TN Sister. Got down to 1 degree last night. What's worse than it being 1 degree outside with a wind chill of -6 you ask? How about waking up with the power out. Yep, woke up just before 6am this morning to find the power off and the temp in the house in the mid 60s. Not cold enough to be of concern, but with me heading out to work it was a bit of an issue. Luckily the wife type let me know it came on shortly after 7:00. Total outage was only about 2 hours so we were lucky.
So the season 3 premiere of Vikings was pretty awesome last night! Anyone else get to watch it?

watching it tonight, BC1!…
Our power's been in and out as well.
Bracing for the next storm set to begin later today….
snow, wind, sleet, ice…they're just saying pretty much
everything. Oh and it's 16 here with a wind chill temp of 6.
Sucks.
But it's Friday and I'm making chili and brownies so
all is good.

Well I am glad that I did not spoil it for you by mentioning anything about last night's episode then Sister. Can't wait to see what you think about it. No one here at work watches so I have no one to discuss it with on Friday. Ugh!
Stay safe, warm, and I hope the power stays on for you guys. Do you have a back up generator?
