Still Freaking Cold and Snowing
Jan. 24th, 2026 10:05 pmHoly cow. Now the forecasters are predicting 6 - 12 inches of snow. I almost forgot to set the faucets dripping. It’s colder than late night, -4F /-20C with a wind chill of -14F/-26C.
Woke up a little after 7 AM. I think that the heat vent in the bedroom is blocked because it was freezing cold in there.
I managed to get the dogs inside in about 15 minutes. It’s very cold.
Oh! The snow is starting at 4 PM now. That helps. Maybe I should take a shower to let my hair dry before taking a nap. No, I’m going to take my nap now and blow-dry my hair later.
I unblocked the heat vent in the bedroom, and it’s toasty warm in there now. Had a nice nap. Overslept quite a bit.
The snow started at 2. I didn’t take a shower, but instead, I DoorDashed an errand (done). Now I think that I want another nap. Bella grabbed a piece of donut out of my hand. Cheeky pup. I established that Gracie knows her name because I called her to get the other half of the donut, and she came running over. So when she doesn’t come when called, she’s just ignoring me :)
Bella was whining because I wasn’t paying attention to her. Remedied that.
Slept until 8 PM. Holy cow. Wrestled a recycle bin onto the basement stairs landing. Fed us all. Me to Bella: “No, you can’t have Zara’s food. You ate dinner. I saw you.” She was not convinced.
Hmm. I could buy a used Suburu Crosstek for not a lot of money. I'll keep that in mind in case I need to replace the Honda.
It’s late (almost 10 PM). I need to get to bed.
It’s predicted to snow all night, so we’ll wake up to a pretty mess.
