~ 68 ~ Walk With Me Before Another Possible Power Outage

in #walkwithme • 7 years ago

We're having a massive storm in Nova Scotia...

A storm surge warning, and a snowfall warning, but right now it's raining and windy. Winds were supposed to reach 100 km/hour, but it looks like that warning is gone now, thank goodness! I'm writing this post hastily to try and beat the power outage. We have a bunch of water stored up unlike last time, and the bathtub is full too, so we can use that water to flush our toilet with if we have to.

@Hendrix22 is already on his way home for work, and school was cancelled for the boys for the rest of the week. So, they were back to school from Christmas holidays for exactly 1 day. HAHAA!! I love NS winters!! The kids are always home most of February, looks like we're starting early this year!

The morning ice was shining like diamonds...

I heard a knock on my door...

It was this gentleman. He stopped by to ask if he could go around and collect chicken feathers to use for his arrows that he makes. He says chicken are the best, he tried crow feathers and they didn't work well. So I took a couple creepy photos of him from inside the house.

Puddle Barometer at 1:00 pm. It's pouring out! And all of this rain is going to freeze and then the heavy snow will start falling. It's going to be really really icy...I hope everyone stays safe!

Thank you for coming on another #WalkWithMe, I hope you enjoyed today's shots! I'd like to go on a walk where you live too, so if you get out there for one, take a few pics, and post about your walk using the tag "walkwithme".

                Ugh not another power outage.

                Stay safe -- and we'll be sharing an approximation of the same bad weather for about three days! I think I'll do a walkthrough, I won't have my pc with me and won't have a chance to be online as much.

                    Hey you guys stay safe/warm out there. When I was a child they were closing the school often due to snowstorm/ice and that was just the best feeling ever. You had to listen to the radio (yes I am that old) and you were hoping they name your school (in there list of closed school) ...please name my school. and then YES!!!!!

                    It's nice to be able to take it so easy, in other cities we have lived in, the show goes on, no matter how bad the weather is, the stores are still open and the schools most of the time too.

                      Stay safe my friend! Ice storms, snow storms, blowing wind and storm surges? Good old Canadian winters at their best. How will the storm surges effect you? Will you have to move to higher ground? I hope not! I'll be thinking about you today...

                      We had a power outage last night, the coldest so far this winter, when everybody was using electricity to heat up their house. Fortunately, the electricity came back after a few hours.

                      By the way, beautiful diamond rain! Stay safe in the storm! We'll be thinking about you guys.
