    These flickering lights are giving me a headache. Did you hear that darling? !!

    Anyway, got out the trusty wind up torch, the battery operated radio and put boiling water in the thermal mug. I am so ready for battle if there is a power cut tonight.

    Thanks for the update.

    Looks like we have several more inches of snow to come, it has been snowing for near three hours now, blizzard conditions worse than the January blizzard.

    i see. the trick is to really not want any snow and you end up getting plastered:pac:
