Today went by rather quick. I’m not going to complain about that. The temperature has peaked out at 40 degrees. The low was down to 21 or so. The furnace in the RV was kicking on but I turned it off. We drained everything so maybe the toothpaste and shampoo freeze but the infrastructure will be fine.

This is technically just the beginning. Cold, as miserable as it is, isn’t really the issue unless you’re talking about frozen pipes. Thursday brings a chance of precipitation and this is where things go south as the saying goes. They’re actually calling for 3 to 6 inches at this point. This will shut down the city as we don’t have snow removal equipment and bridges everywhere. The majority of 8 million people will be on a snow day. But time will tell on that, they do like to over hype the weather. We’re prepped for it for sure, lots of propane and gas. If the power went out, we could put the inverter in the shed and let it run with an extension cord coming in to power the furnace will keep the house warm. We can also fire up the heater in the RV and live pretty large out there but there’s no water and bath room out there. So that’s actually better if there’s a power outage in the summer.

On another pleasant note, it turns out the vast majority of the Stars games are streaming for free. There’s a Victory+ streaming app that has all the games except for nationally televised ones. Between that and the discovery of the Maverick’s channel, we’re good on sports for the next couple months even if the watchability of the sports are less than that of football. Makes me wonder if I’ve just missed the baseball channel. Surely America’s pass time is still free over the air somewhere.
