Wild Weather!

All day we've been hearing that there is wild weather on the way. The weather people have issued the most serious warning, level 3, the first one for snow in ten years.
Apparently we are going to get around 70 cm of wet snow (heavy and sticky), which will be blown into drifts by gale-force winds. Some reports suggest we could have a metre of snow by the end of Wednesday.
I spent most of the day outside, preparing for this rather drastic fall of snow. Towards the end of the day the wind got going and the snow showers turned into one continuous fall.
When I took this picture I'd gone to the wood shed (bottom left in the picture) at the back of Betty's to fetch another load of wood to have indoors. In the house we now have all we need to get us through the next couple of days. Following the local and national advice we have...
Hot water in flasks in case the electric goes off.
Cold water in bottles, in case the water goes off.
Torches and candles.
Our wind-up radio so we can hear the local news.
Plenty of food we can eat cold.
Chocolate - always good in an emergency!
Wood for our wood-burner - serves as heating if there is no electricity, and we can cook on it too.
No-one official mentioned the next item for the emergency kit...
A sufficiency of beer, wine and jägermeister. However, at dinner tonight I drank...     ....tea!
  Jan has cooked a large pan of soup which is easy to warm up.
By the front door we have two snow shovels, a garden spade, a lightweight spade, a sleigh shovel, and a brush.
I reckon we'll be okay, and I know what my exercise will be tomorrow, and probably the next day too!
(I posted backbips for yesterday and the day before too.)
