I'll join the sickies. I called my pulmonologist yesterday before the storms struck. He'd gone home early due to pending storms. I asked to speak to a nurse. They took my woeful message and said a nurse would call me. Right. Never called.
I have waited 2 months hoping a sinus infection to heal itself, but it keeps waxing and waning, and I am to the point I want some antibiotics 'cause its getting pretty debilitating.
The sun has come out on about 6 inches of snow, and it surely is pretty out there.
About having "equipment" to keep roads clear.
The public works administrator for Memphis was back peddling, explaining that the twelve "plow attachments with hydraulics" to attach to sand trucks had sat outside for ten years and ruined (due to a lack of inside storage space). Now they promise to buy some more and store them inside. Basically, this area gets few large snows, and when they do come, there is NO equipment to clear streets. There are sand trucks, and some few salt sprayer trucks, but no equipment for scraping or snow removal.
Things grind to a halt when it snows. Kind of peaceful though.
Chickens here have water and food that I trekked out huffing and puffing to put in their coop. I may try to take the heat lamp back out there, and keep the brooder chicks warm with incandescent light bulbs. Going to record breaking cold tonight for March, and zero F wind chill factor.
