It's going to be a long, hard, cold winter in many ways.  Sure glad I got my generator and generlink installed just in case the power goes out.  We were without power for 5 1/2 days during winter storm Atlas and I never want to go through that again, at least not now that I've lost my husband who managed to keep the lights on (along with everything else) but he was knowledgeable about that stuff, whereas I am not.  Not to mention I can barely move right now because of my back injury so getting a generator up and running right now would be impossible. 

Supposed to be 80 ish degrees today and then start dropping down.  By saturday supposed to be really really cold.  Early mornings are already very cold around here.  Lots of fog until mid-day.  I love fog but not when it portends a bleak winter!
