Scary stuff at this temperature, but we're fortunate and have a generator so we're staying warm. I just checked the outage map and in the entire state it's only our little part of an already little town that is without power. I'd sure hate to be a lineperson today. Unless it was a lineperson on Maui.

The road was fine, but my windshield iced up and there wasn't a safe place to stop and clean it off.

and lost power for a couple of days but this morning we wake up to a light snowfall... maybe 1/2 inch. more to come but not enough to be much of a worry with the warm-up coming this afternoon.

I'm looking at the gorgeous green mountains with a background of cloudless blue sky as the sun rises. A gentle breeze surrounds me on this lovely cool morning in South-East Jamaica.

I love the smell of blossoms and newly cut grass - dew shining as the sun rises.

I think some of us would be grateful if it warmed up enough for us to get "wintery mix"
