Tired but at least well fed.

This storm was not much for around here. To the north, there are thousands without power.

The next storm is slated for Friday into Saturday. Unless something socks it in the nose, it'll be a doozy. 10-14" of snow and 20-45 mph winds.

The winds aren't very strong (compare to what some are getting), but man, can they make drifts! Especially with that much snow. And then, the bottom falls out on the temps for 4-5 days. Low teens for highs, single digits for lows, and -5 to -25 F windchill.

I told DH we need to top off the generator, go to town and fill the gas can, and I need another bale of pine shavings for the coop. I want to add to the padding on the floor, give the chickens something to make fluffy bowls in to hunker down and stay warm next week.

We had chilli over rice tonight. Good cold weather comfort food.

I'm yawning so bad but don't dare go to bed this early. No daytime sleep today so I hope I can go to sleep quick and stay asleep tonight.

The snow made hubby and me work hard today. He took a nap; I didn't. I hope that means I'll sleep well tonight!

I hope so

If I can hang on for another 3 hours without sleep I should get some good sleep. It's been at least a week since I have slept well.
