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.

Rusty - Sounds like a wonderful trip. Bit of a downer finding your car wouldn't start at the end of it! But you were saved :-)
Great photos, thanks for posting.
Dramatic and terrible news from California- each new report it seems to get worse. Our hearts go out to those who have lost their homes.
I'm off in the morning to have the camera down the throat thing- - only a check up & hoping they won't find anything they don't like. Thankful that I have my OH to take me there and back as I'm having the mild sedative & won't be allowed to drive myself.
Its snowed here again today, big flakes came down this afternoon. After a night of Minus 7 degrees last night & the same predicted for tonight, everything is crisp and icy. Quite dangerous out and about. Our Council are short of cash so only the main roads are gritted and none of the pavements seem to be.
I hope those not well will soon recover. There are a lot of nasty bugs about for sure.
