    Yea really surreal feeling right now. Talk about your SHTF scenario. It's touted as the worst storm in the world lol. Of course, we have the Alaska Range between us but I do expect to get some wind and snow, maybe a blizzard out of it. The thing is, we have very little wind here in the interior. So when we do get wind, it always takes out trees/power.

    Sounds good. There are so many people I care about scattered all over the globe that, if anything happens anywhere, I have to be concerned about somebody's well-being.
    True enough, my final home is still out there, but this is most certainly my home range and I love it. I love every rock I fall off and tree I trip over. Even when I am close to dying from exhaustion, a beautiful sunset doesn't lose it's power to refresh and inspire me and that, in itself, is enough to save me sometimes.

    Eh, we're pretty prepared. Even though my heater burns fuel, it's still electric so if the electric goes out, we'll be with out heat. But it is only getting down to about 15 at night as of yet, so not too cold. We also have friends with wood stoves we can go hang out with if needed.

    Woof! It looks like it's going to affect us worse than ya'll. We have 70% snow in the forecast Monday and snow continuing through Thursday and starting back Saturday for who-knows-how-long. And we're moving to south Denver next week.

    O.O

    How's your weather Wolfie? We got a heck of a warm front from this. While it is kind of nice, it's made the roads pretty messy as we had already started to form our snow pack. The problem with this warmth melting the snow is once it's gone, then our deep cold will start to set in and for those who have septic systems, they'll have no insulating snow. I see a busy season for our pumping and thawing companies. Did you get moved?

    We are moved. It was a pain because we had record lows (single digits) and 2-3 inches of snow (pretty) which immediately turned to ice. I only crashed once on some stairs ut, as much as it scared everyone else, I remained uninjured. It's a diagnostic for bone brittleness - I passed. We are now in the southern Denver area (Lakewood) and I wake up in the morning to a view of the Rockies - it just keeps getting better.

    Well cool about the bone density and the new views lol. At least in Colorado, you'll get sun really soon.

    The boys are upstairs. My friend Lori came by right as my aunt and uncle were leaving. This is the fist time I've used the pano function on my new phone. Weird.

    I'm really enjoying the new Alaska reality show (yes, another one!) Edge of Alaska. They touch on the McCarthy Massacre as well as the Papa Pilgrim fiascos of small town McCarthy, AK.
