Advice is like snow – the softer it falls, the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper it sinks into the mind. <\/strong><\/p>\n

4 AM awake again. Throat pain is noticeable. I just read more outbreaks at two local hospitals, and we are under an extreme winter weather alert. I won’t be travelling.<\/p>\n

It is 8:24 AM. I am having a wicked headache. The snowstorm didn’t arrive at 7:am like predicted but has been delayed until this afternoon. The extreme weather warning is still in place.<\/p>\n

10:22 The snowstorm has arrived. I decided to take a snow day, after doing the chores of course. Fed those that needed feeding.<\/p>\n

I just got up to check the snow 5 cm have fallen since it started. No signs of it letting up. Tomorrow will be the fun day. Cleaning the driveway. Did I mention I forgot to service the snowblower? I haven’t started it since last winter which would have been may MAYBE.<\/p>\n

\nLouis Cipher chilaxing in front of the fire. He must be about 18 years old. Quite the survivor. He lasted outside for a month while I was in the hospital during a very cold winter. He was lost. I prayed and he showed up that day.<\/p>\n

BTW don’t eat the raw cashews from Costco warehouse, something very bad about those.<\/p>\n

8 PM. I just brought the gen inside looks like about 8 inches of snow have fallen. They have extended the weather warning till tomorrow. I expect the snow will be double by tomorrow afternoon. I will be removing snow after it is all over. Probably Thursday.<\/p>\n
