Yes, while New England is under a blizzard warning with predictions of 15-20 inches of snow and my beloved Syracuse set records for the amount of snow in December before getting to the start of winter, we have it worse. Much worse.

It’s a total disaster here. Walk outside and you hear the wailing of woodland creatures. Or maybe the neighbor’s feral cats. And there’s a tree down!

Oh, the floranity!

So far, we have consumed all six gallons of milk and five loaves of bread today. We’re also down to our last three dozen eggs … we are concerned. Because of this, we are venturing out to friends for dinner later on. They report an ample supply of smoked turkey.

Okay, so maybe it’s not that bad out there … but the dog is not amused.
