I like how you roll. Glad to hear all went A-ok. I heard this storm called Snowmagedden at another site, maybe Laurie B’s. That cracked me up. You’ve got a wonderfully cozy spot there too, digging the red checkered wing chair. It really pops! xK

And today, there’s barely any evidence of it left apart from the once-huge snowbanks created by the snowplows. Mother Nature is just so wild 🙂 As for the red wing chair, I’ve been wanting to recover it for a while – hubby says no 😉 So, glad you like it. Most comfortable chair in the house as it reclines 🙂

Actually, there’s always a fun sense of anticipation for me when a major snowstorm is predicted. As long as the storm doesn’t create power issues, it’s a chance to relax and enjoy the enforced quiet! And, of course, the right provisions always help 🙂

Well prepped ! Isn’t that all you need – wine, chocolate and coffee – to ride out a storm?

Absolutely! Luckily, we never lost power, so the coffee is still with us. As for the wine and chocolate … let’s just say I made a sizable dent in my supply 🙂

I learned he hard way about coffee and lack of electricity. A neighbor in our last major storm quite a few years ago boiled water over a camping stove and used one of these handy devices. I went out and bought one for myself right after that 🙂 I haven’t had to use it yet, but I feel much better knowing I can get my caffeine fix if power goes out 🙂 Stay safe, too, Yvette!

Hahaha! But just think of it this way, Michelle: you have important survival skills 😉 I, on the I the other hand, only know how to use a remote!

I think I should resort to the remote! It took nearly two hours, a stack of paper plates, some paper towel, some notebook paper, and some napkins to get it started. And then it was just burning the long internally and not really putting out flames. If this was depending on my survival, I would have frozen by then! 🙂

When you close the curtains to keep out the cold, candles lit on the mantelpiece, and snuggling up to each other, playing old romantic songs on the turntable, sipping your respective drinks (‘tho Pepsi just doesn’t do it for romantic ole me), you can imagine you’re up in your log cabin in the Adirondacks or Appalachians, listening to the wind rage outside, wolves howling, and you all snug inside!
