We've had snow most of the week, in varying amounts. There's 9 inches of snow on top of our grill out on the patio. Joe's been out with the snowblower almost every day this week. We've gotten hit with a lot of "lake effect" snow. If you're interested in this phenomenon, you can read about it here:

Anyway, as of this writing (at 1:57 PM) it's ONE degree outside with a wind chill of MINUS thirteen. We are under a "winter storm watch" through tomorrow, with an additional 6 inches of snow predicted for our area (NOT lake-effect stuff, so it won't be as light and fluffy). However, the western southern tier of NY (where my daughter lives) has the greatest potential for a substantial amount of snow accumulating.
The good news is, we've got groceries, kerosene (for the heaters, in case we lose power), bottled water, and all kinds of emergency stuff laid on (thanks to our C.E.R.T. training).
The bad news is, I'm out of wine!
Looking forward to a quiet weekend - Joe bought "Troy" and, although we've seen it once, I think I'd like to see it again. Something about curling up on the couch, snuggled up against my honey, under a warm afghan, fire in the fireplace, watching a good movie.
Stay warm!
