snow shoveling and Minus 7 degrees



 

Here he is... braving the minus 7 degrees ... shoveling snow. Actually minus 7 is warmer than yesterday! At 7 am we lost our electricity due to the rolling outages the energy company is having  to cope with the extra usage. The company says the outage would only last 30 to 60 minutes. And true to its word , after 45 minutes the electricity came back one. I assume another area would have its turn. 

My daughter, teaching virtually, will have students in and out due to  her students not having electricity.

My grandson, in a different school distract than his mother, has no school today. The school district is having a traditional "snow day" ... no school for anyone not even virtually.

The daily high temps are supposed to rise each day... reaching 30 or so by Saturday. That will feel balmy after the lows we have been having!!

BTW... we have been following the energy company's guidelines... lowering the thermostat... only used lights on... curtains closed... no washer, dryer or dishwashers on till late at night .. and so on.
