Longest Night

Well, happy Winter Solstice! We are at the darkest time of the year up here. The sun rises at 1 PM and sets at 2:42 PM. Of course, some of that time is the twilight, and with clouds, it doesn't really get bright. The past week or so, it is an almost constant blizzard. I posted a clip in my last post. Tonight the power went out. Down in Tennessee it was an inconvenience. Up here, if it stays out for even an hour, it gets pretty cold. If it gets too bad, we just head for the hospital. They have double generators, so we should be okay. It is kind of scary when the lights go out. You could easily freeze to death in your home, and it wouldn't take long to do it either. I know I am going to really appreciate spring this year! The scenery is gorgeous right now, but it is too cold for me to be able to enjoy it in person. I am stuck with watching out of the windows of my house or from the cab. I do love it here believe it or not, but I would pay $100 for a Whopper! I miss fast food! Happy Holidays if I don't post again before then!
