Weekly Chat (Non-Osprey), 5 January 2025

HAPPY NEW WEEK! 

I apologize, folks. I usually like to start the week with a positive, uplifting post, but I'm not in a good mood this evening.

My area is under a major Winter Storm Warning for tomorrow and Monday. This is a massive storm that will stretch 1,300 miles and affect 62 million people. My region of Indiana is in the swath predicted to get the most snow. For some reason, the National Weather Service has been unable to pinpoint the track, snow totals, and ice accumulation for central Indiana, but it appears that I could get over a foot of snow (31 centimeters). We've been warned that travel may be impossible, power outages will occur, and high winds may cause extensive drifting.

After the storm, the polar vortex will settle here and bring dangerous arctic cold. I'm worried that my roof can't hold that much snow, plus my old house will get too cold.

I stocked up on groceries and water today.

Annette said that the UK is also expecting bad weather. I wish you all well.

Love and hugs to all.
