Those whirling winds, snow and no electricity!

 Last Saturday was one to hunker down for. Snow and cold temps were planned, and sitting inside.  I did have some chores mapped out. That was before the electricity was off for 2 hours, then back on for just 15 min. and off again for another 2 hours.

Big winds will do that where trees and lines may be pushed together. But this was a main line in Black Mountain, taking  out about 1400 homes and businesses the first time, then just my hill of apartments the second time.

When the elec. came on again the first time, I started a bath of just hot water...to hopefully keep the lines from freezing...and maybe have a warm enough room eventually. But now I'm going back to sitting in bed and reading, since this won't even be downloaded after I type it probably. Without internet, I don't know how much is available here.

So second time I've sat back down, and am eating a bagel and drinking a fresh cup of coffee.  I did walk over to the mailbox (at the office building) and found a brutal wind. A guy talking on his phone said the large buildings had power, and just the ones along the hill didn't.

I started the car and sat in it for a while...looking at the mail.

Now I'm about to do my nebulizer, which hopefully will clear out my lungs so I won't have the horrible hacking that my cough has done all morning.

So this was March 12, the last (hopefully) snow of the 21-22 winter.

What I can't portray is the gusting wind that roars down the mountain, or up it. Never can tell which way it's going, and that's why a tree fell against the power lines.

Today's quote:

If we aren't clear about what we want in life, it won't be able to find us.
