Ways to call in snow, according to my 8-year-old buddy, Little P.:
*Wear your pajamas inside out for a couple of nights.
*Flush ice cubes down the toilet the day before.
*Sleep with a spoon under your bed.
It may be working, because he reported to me this afternoon that he's been doing all of these things, and now the forecast is calling for the possibility of an inch of snow after the ice does its thing. I hope we get a little snow, for his sake.
In any event, there's a very good chance we could lose power and/or internet access for a couple of days. Not only are we expecting ice and snow, but the nighttime low temperatures are expected to be around 19 degrees (-7.22C) and the highs will struggle to get much above freezing. Whatever cold precipitation we get, won't be going away very fast!
My little family will be just fine. We have gas logs for heat, a gas range for cooking, plenty of food (people and pet), and no need to leave home. If it wasn't so dangerous for the essential workers, I'd even say I'm looking forward to it. Real winter weather is such a rarity in eastern South Carolina! I'm hoping to finally see snow here at our "new" house and "new" neighborhood.
Maybe I should flush some ice down the toilet......or sleep with my pjs inside-out. Little P. is convinced it will work!
....Or I can just send my good vibes into Mother Nature and the Snow Queen for you...
ReplyDeleteWe got a shower from it, though our temps are about to crash.
ReplyDeleteFlushing ice cubes is a cute idea!
ReplyDeleteWe had that in December and it stuck around too long. It had worn out its welcome after a couple days! (especially the ice!) Hope you enjoy some quiet and cozy time.
ReplyDeleteWe lost power during the last storm for about 40 minutes, but other folks in our twon went without power for more than a day!
ReplyDeleteHopefully this one will be less bothersome.
Don't forget to take lots of photos for your 2022 Christmas cards! No snow here, and temps around 0 - 10 C.
ReplyDeleteJust a light (and rather wet) dusting here over night, and rain forecast for tomorrow. So far, we have not had much of a winter - fine by me, but I know some plants and animals need proper winter for their life cycles.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, maybe I should advise my family, friends and neighbours on the PJ, ice cube and spoon methods!
We are getting overnight frosts and decidedly chilly morning dog walks here in SE England.Dog coats will be the order of the day again! We have an extra dog at the moment so it takes a while for us all to get togged up! No thank you to snow!
ReplyDeleteJust flushed the ice cubes, have placed a spoon under the bed for tonight when I’ll wear PJs (I don’t usually) inside out. Snow on the Costa del Sol! Thank Little P for me.
ReplyDeleteLittle P. is the best. Educating the world, one spoon-under-the-bed at a time!
ReplyDeleteI'll only be impressed if you do those things in August and it brings snow!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, enjoy the break and the winter wonderland. :)
Stay snug and safe!
ReplyDeleteI read that: wear your pajamas outside for a couple of nights...
ReplyDeleteLittle P is quite determined. I hope he got his snow. We got 12 inches, and believe you me, not one of us was wearing our pjs inside out.
ReplyDeletePatience above what weather people are having these days!
ReplyDeleteI quit wishing for snow after out winter of last year....fuck that shit.
ReplyDeleteI lost my job few months back and there was no way to get income for my family, things was so tough and I couldn't get anything for my children, not until a met a recommendation on a page writing how Mr Bernie Wilfred helped a lady in getting a huge amount of profit every 6 working days on trading with his management on the cryptocurrency Market, to be honest I never believe it but I took the risk to take a loan of $1000. and I contacted him unbelievable and I was so happy I earn $12,500 in 6 working days, the most joy is that I can now take care of my family I don't know how to appreciate your good work Mr. Bernie Doran God will continue to bless you for being a life saver I have no way to appreciate you than to tell people about your good services.
