Is the End of the world Nigh?

Woke up to rain and cold this morning with the temperature around freezing point. We decided it was a day to hibernate, the forecast showed a high of 2°C with a rain / ice pellet mix. Lyn has plenty of sewing projects and as usual I have plenty of computer and electronic projects to keep me out of trouble.

By mid afternoon the rain had stopped, but the temperature hadn’t changed much. We decided to get a little exercise in and take a walk over to the office. When we got there the conversation immediately went to the weather. It turns out that the area was in a state of chaos due to the weather. Schools were closed, outdoor workers were not working and a number of cities in Florida, Georgia and Alabama were virtually closed down by freezing rain or snow. On the way back from the office there was even a brief snow flurry.

Unfortunately Georgia’s only snowplow was not up to the job of keeping the streets clear.

After chatting for a while at the office we headed back to the trailer. I checked the two propane tanks, and one had just emptied so I headed back over to the office to arrange to have it filled ……. just in case!
