I have arrived at my mom's out of an abundance of caution. The storm will arrive much later tonight than they had predicted, increasing our chances for sleet, and decreasing our chances for ice. Sleet is great, not necessarily for roads or bridges, but it bounces past power lines and trees, leaving them alone.

Our friends in other areas will not be so lucky. We need to be mindful of that.

There is nothing to do here, but I have my tablet for games, you folx in my phone, and I've brought along books: poetry, narrative nonfiction, and horror, as one does. #US #USWx #WinterStorm #Fern #IceStorm #FreezingRain
