@retiredteacher We are expecting 17" of snow here. That's OK, as long as do not lose power. We thought when we moved to a neighborhood with underground wiring that would no longer be a problem but when the wires leading into the neighborhood go down, we are all stuck. I hate that. Here, with wells and septic systems, when we lose power we have no heat, no water, and cannot flush toilets. UGH.
I got to my club early today to do pool exercises. I figure tomorrow will be a recumbent bike day.

I also agree @jk. These storms are in no way easy except for the 1%ers that have everything for every situation. We live in the country but have city water, so we can flush toilets and have running water, but we're freezing when the electricity goes because we have no heat anywhere in this total electric house. We have a fireplace but have never used it. I am allergic to smoke. The smell just makes me ill. So our fireplace is capped off. If it were to get as cold as in the North, we'd have to go to a hotel/motel---somewhere with heat or just head further south. I pray that all the people who are in the line of this storm will be okay. I worry especially for the homeless.
All Volunteer Mentors and Moderators take care.

I agree, @contentandwell. I once lived with a well and septic system and when you lose power you have nothing. I hope that you stay safe with power. How many inches so far?
