Blizzard #1

It is a little after 6 AM and I just got the call that today is an official "Blizzard Day".  I am not going to count that day when the kids left an hour early.  Heck, that day I stayed at school until 7 PM and I had no trouble walking home.  Today looks nasty out the window.  I am wishing I had remembered to bring home the novel study book for my Grade 12 class because I am not going to leave the apartment.  In fact, the Environment Canada website predicts a 2-day blizzard.  It says that the temperature is a balmy -19 but the wind chill is the kicker at -33.

Now to remember the unwritten rules of the North and blizzards:
1. No doing laundry
2. No showers.
3. No doing dishes.
4. If it's yellow, let it mellow; if it's brown, flush it down.

Now to turn off the computer and go make sure I have spare jugs of water, blankets, flashlights, candles and matches.

Cheers.

  1. How come? Do you run out of water better when it's cold? I thought you would want to keep the water running to the pipes don't freeze?
