for one monster of a storm thats to hit the midwest here.  So I have everything put away and anything I think will fly is locked up.  Spent the weekend getting ready for when they shut off the water,,,it's all put away and ready to be transferred to higher ground... I think we are pretty much good to go now. I have everything plugged in and charging to.  Just in case. I generally don't get excited about storms, but when all the weather on the computer is starting warnings now,,,and the tv is spouting off,,,I'm thinkin I should pay attention...
I should get a camera......
Next weekend from the sounds of it,,I'll be sitting outside looking like the tire guy all bundled up,lol.  Is ok, my neighbors will have fire and grog. I think I can stand it for a while.

We just had 70 Winds and there headed your way, big rain with them.  We were up North for the weekend at Levenworth . lol So we missed it but I have a yard full of leaves and things.  So it's that time a year for the water being shut off.  Will blow out the yard lines the end of next month.  I think I have 2 or 3 more cutting yet this year.  They have been picking grapes now for 3 weeks on the upper ridge areas working there way down to the river.  So it will not be long until the wine cellars start to fill up.  The place about 5 miles away has 11 acres of cellars all below ground. 

Levenworth Wa.  check it out about 10 A.M. West Cost time.  (12 Noon) your time MeLady.

It's a pretty good one, it was here in Norther Ca over the weekend, gave us 7" of rain, but was pretty mild in temp, but had some good strong winds in it.
Enjoy, I know I did, but can't speak for ST. :))

here's what we are looking at as far as wind.  Should be big huge fun. They said the rain is gonna be going sideways so don.t bring out an umbrella.  Ok,,,so that means I will not go outside,lol. I got my stuff all prepped, wood for the wood burner. Foods for the critters and us.  We'll just see what happens.  I do love a good thundersmacker with all the fun that goes.  Wind,,,well,,,,,it should be interesting.  Right now it's wonderful outside.  Winds are just now starting,,,, cant wait to see what tomorrow thru Wednesday brings.  I just really feel bad for everyone around here thats done up their yards for Halloween.  Hope that things are seriously stuck in really well.

What do you consider cold?  We live in the Sierra so most morning/evenings are in the 30's - 40's right now. ::)

Although I have lived in California for over 30 years I was born and raised in Illinois.  Ice storms, tornadoes and humidity....don't miss any of them. ;D ;D ;D

Ice storms, tornadoes and humidity are Michigan's GOOD features. We're under a tornado warning as I write this. (Very slim chance it'll touch down anywhere near me, though.)

You ain't learned how to live until the winds are horizontally  blowing snow at 65 m.p.h. at you, as you slide on all fours across a two-feet slab of ice. (Give me a brake, indeed.)

Somewhere in the old 8 mm family movies there is one of my oldest sister outside filming the ice storm...barefoot, shorts and a sleeveless top.  :o :o :o

I use to handle the cold and ice but not anymore.
