Weather Paranoia

Wow , girls I hope you all stay warm and safe.. Here in the Northeast its cold tonight 20's . It is suppose to warm up by weekend I heard high 50's crazy right.

Gina, what's crazy is that your in NJ and we're in TX and the weather is about the same right now. When I got up this morning, it was 26. Hubby had to bring my potted plants inside last night. Should warm up in a couple of days though.

Tiramisu, I'm with Tink. We're not in control anyway, and if we stay informed and have done responsible preparation, we can sleep when the wind blows.

As far as hurricanes go, we run if it's more than a Cat 2. Protect the important stuff and leave the coast!!

Is it spring yet??

I've never really been fearful of the weather. Right now in central Indiana it's 11 degrees with a windchill of -10. The temp is suppose to get to a low of 3 degrees tonight. By Saturday it's suppose to be in the high 40's and Monday in the 50's.
We have a fireplace insert to keep warm if the power goes out. We also have a generator. When we had an ice storm back in 1991, my son was only 2 months old and we lost power for over 2 weeks...well some of the neighbors did..hubby couldn't stand it and after 8 days went and bought a generator.

Spring and summer we have a lot of tornado warnings, but I just go to sleep. There is only one time we packed up all the dogs and headed out. There is really nothing we can do about it so I don't let it bother me. My husband on the other hand is constantly going from window to window or going outside to check the skies.

That's what I keep asking Sheryl....HOW MUCH LONGER TILL SPRING!!!

Janet, your husband sounds like me. Our neighbors have told us about the big freeze in the 90's. They were without power for 10 days. Mel was using an ax to bust up the ice in the pond so they would have water for drinking and flushing. You're right that worrying doesn't make it better but my favorite thing to say is "What if!"
