It is a horrible blizzard outside right now.
I can’t see a thing.
I usually just look out the window, see my beautiful truck that is within 15 feet and it’s gone. Well, it’s not gone but the blizzard is so bad right now that you can’t really see anything at all. The power for our house just went out and my family and I are waiting it out, thinking it can come back on at any moment but my wife told me that her phone says it will be several hours until anyone is able to do any repairs. There are outages everywhere and I know they won’t start doing repairs until this blizzard is over. So our electric heater is also down. This isn’t good because I can see this house dropping to dangerous temperatures in less than a few hours. We do have this old fireplace which I turn on once in a while. I say once in a while, but in all actuality, it’s probably been 5 years. I had it cleaned out about 3 years ago thinking we would be getting more use out of it but it hasn’t been used at all. I’m a little nervous to start it up but first I have to grab firewood from the other side of the shed, the shed I can’t see currently. I know in order for our safety I have to get outside and at least grab a few logs. We will need it started for however long so I guess I have to suck it up and grab some wood and start the fireplace until our HVAC system is up and running again.
