A Windy Christmas
It’s gonna be a windy Christmas…
Okay, so it’s not Christmas yet, but it’s the Christmas season so, you know, close enough.
While other parts of the midwest are being hit with snow, we’ve got high winds. The winds are supposed to be about as strong as the remnants of Hurricane Ike that we went through last year.
The news media is already warning of potential power outages which, combined with the cold temperatures moving in, would not be good. Windstorm Ike gave us power outages that last for days in some areas around here. And, given that my confidence in the local power company is pretty low (seriously, I think we’ve had more power outages in the past couple years since this company bought out the previous power company, than we had power outages in the prior 20 or so years), I’d be surprised if there weren’t power outages.
I still hope they won’t be, especially for all those who might end up stuck in the cold.
At any rate, if you don’t hear from me for a couple days, you’ll know why. Not that anyone would really notice but, just in case, now you know.
I hope you weren’t left in the dark!
i think christmas is a day when you can still feel warm even at the snowing day
Ha that picture is pretty cool- it should be on greeting cards sold in the Great Lakes area of Chicago and Milwaukee.
