Somebody once said that waiting for a major weather event that’s been local headline news for days is like being stalked by a killer turtle. Our turtle is due to arrive Tuesday—foot of snow; sub-zero temps. I don’t do even do the mild version of winter well, so something soothing is much needed this evening.

I haven’t written about this much—a fall acquisition from an out-of-town Fresh Market (Whole Foods lookalike), but I’m down to just a few bags. It is lavender heavy, but not like grandma’s talcum powder. I’m not sure there’s enough valerian in the blend to have much effect on my night’s sleep, but the overall effect soothing and makes me think of lilacs in the sunshine and honeybees browsing in my container garden.

Whoa, I had not heard about that! We have a chance of rain mixed with sleet Wednesday, and I expect all the milk and bread will be sold out by tomorrow night.

We’re in the middle of a two-day snowstorm here in Toronto, after just clearing up from a big snowstorm last Wednesday. I feel your pain. :)

We do have some snow and temperatures dropping down to -15 °C (5 °F), so that it quite low for us here. But, as I said, there is some snow outside, so it is not that bad…

Our forecast changed to 100% chance of snow and ice mixed. IF we get it, ice and power lines down will be one of the biggest problems. We have purchased bread as required by the universe. We already had milk.

Hope everyone stays safe, warm, hydrated, and well-fed through the bad weather!
