Cold! Not the January weather, but the mucus-packed, stuffed in the head, sinus, bronchule, lung kind of cold. I have been inactive since last Monday - one full week. Head is cleared out now, but lungs are still not there yet. And the weather outside is frightfull: 1/2 to 3/4 inch of ice and it is still raining and 30 degrees at 2 pm. Would have gone to Killington today with Alix and Pete, but the roads were too poor. I need to fire-up the legs and may have to resort to the CycloTrainer. It is supposed to get frigid - below zero the next couple of days, and then warm a little. Shooting for Killington on Thursday!
Ice storm turned out to be more serious than expected as our power went out around 2:30 pm today. As of bed time (early, since we were in candle light and no heat) the power was sceduled to come back at 5 am. When we awoke that prediction was moved to Thurday afternoon!! Since we are also supposed to get below zero, I needed to get some power to run the outside wood furnace, or we would have frozen pipes. I called Rob and left a message that I probably would not make our meeting in Warrensburg. He called back and said he could get his dad's generator to me. We got it running and Doc got it hooked up so the wood furnace rapidly heated the house. I went to the meeting at least for that day, but the power came back in early pm - so we were out only 24 hours. The Saratoga area was hit hardest with some people out for a few days. Amazing damage in trees and lines down.
