Hey folks for once this winter we are not getting anything but a little drizzle of rain here in the Appalachian Mountains of Southwestern Virginia, temps are a balmy 45 degrees! We have had our share this winter plus lots of just plain cold weather. I hope all of you are staying warm and that none of you lose power....been there done that last winter...5 days no electricity in a fully electric home with one set of gas logs, those things are wonderful, we have a well instead of the city water so no water for 5 days, we made it 3 days, loaded up in Dad's 4X4 and went to our lake house, electricity, TV, telephone, and all the niceties of life again but some folks were without power for over 2 weeks. I sure hope you folks all stay safe, and that none of you loose power! From your friend in the Appalachians, Stay safe, I would hate it if anyone got hurt or killed in this mess, and it can happen, so just be careful and stay warm, winter will be gone soon enough!!!
