We Saw This in Town YesterdayWe had flurries, rain storms, and sometimes sunny weather, but the wind blew hard off and on most of the day. The forecast said it would blow from 35 to 55 mph and I'm pretty sure it did. The siding was protesting. The snow hasn't stuck - not for long anyway - but ithis storm has probably given us some good moisture. Tonight the stars are shining. Seems like even a little bit of northern lights. I read on my spaceweather.com that this was supposed to be likely but more in the northern latitudes.
Sheral called me this afternoon from Texas - blizzarding here and 80 degrees hot there. It was good to hear from her. Betty also called but I had to tell her we'd have to talk later,- just in case we would need the phone in an emergency - because when the power is off the phone goes to battery and doesn't last long
I was just getting ready to blog when about 2 or 3 this afternoon, the power went off and didn't come back on until about 7 or 8. Trees had blown down on the power lines somewhere out this way. People near Boulder still had power. The call back from the power company I got said 30 customers were affected by the outage. Joe got the wood stove going and it was toasty all afternoon. He pumped a couple buckets of water and carried them in. We had a nice chef's salad topped with leftover grilled T-bone and pepper jack cheese, along with bread and strawberries for dinner, so we did fine. At dusk we lit the candles and got out the battery lights. Debbie and I played a fun game of scrabble and before we finished that the power came back on.
I got some pictures of the South Fork house that Betty took onto the blog - see them below.
