Yep that's snow

[Mortblanc]

While the last crisis was averted the weather, being subject to change, has decided to once more make an attack.

We are supposed to reach record lows in the next few days the like of which has not been seen since the last hibernation of the great cave bears.

Not much snow in the works but temps dropping to the point on the scale where C and F cross paths on the thermometer, down around -30.

There will be great preps done today in the form of gearing the house to these numbers. I am usually good down to -20 but when it gets down to -30 the laws of physics seem to change and well insulated pipes freeze and the cold seems to come right through the walls.

If the power happens to go out at those temps there is a danger to life and property.

But to really practical matters, all the clothes must be washed, especially all the long johns, and a good hot shower for the human involved if things freeze up I might not get another for a couple of days. Food cooked for a couple of days so all it needs is a warm up. Emergency fuel tanks filled and backup power checked before all the electrons freeze.
