Yet Another Storm!

We are shutting ourselves in, preparing for another storm.

This time a blizzard.

The local Community Centers and Fire Halls are setting themselves up as Warming Shelters because wide spread power outages are also expected. Praise God that we put in a big, beautiful wood cooking stove. No cold sandwiches here for supper!



What me do lack in a power outage is water. We have a deep well that requires an electric  pump to give us running water. So the bathtub is full of water so we can keep the toilets flushed. Going out behind the shed, down by the trees in a blizzard is NOT an option!



We woke up this morning with -21C where it has stayed all day. But it is the wind chill that really hurts, -29C and dropping to -31C later tonight.

Brrr that's cold! We couldn't even imagine what -14C would feel like when we lived in New Zealand.







The snow begins  overnight and continues through tomorrow so if you don't hear from us for a few days expect to find us huddled around the fire drinking lots of hot chocolate!


Take care and God bless,

Mumzy
