Well, schools let out at noon today, because the weathermen said that the freezing rain and sleet would be here by 3 pm at the latest. Here it is almost 10 pm and it's not here yet. I went to Kroger and stocked up on groceries; it was a madhouse there. We got lots of gas for the generator, which has never been used, BTW.
Now we are just waiting and waiting and waiting to see if it really happens. They are predicting lots of broken power lines and tree limbs falling. I think it is heading in from Memphis, but it will be sometime during the night now. They aren't saying MAYBE, but it IS COMING.
A couple days ago we got some snow and then the temps really dropped and turned that snow into ice...it got down to 9 degrees last night. We are supposed to get freezing rain tomorrow and then more snow on Thursday. This is VERY unusual weather for the Mid-Willamette Valley in Oregon.
It's been in the mid 50's and rainy the last few days -which FEELS like freezing, but if I were back in Wisconsin it would be just another mid October day.

Only in southern WI is it 65 in October! LOL!
LadyRev asked me last night if I knew when the cold snap would end. I said, "For you, April. For me, Thursday."
Yes but on August 1st, it is supposed to be 135... and dont tell me that's a dry heat! LOL!
The very hottest it will get here is about 120 -which it didn't get near this past Summer. I believe the hottest recorded outside our home -in June, was 113.
