Or Maybe I Won't Go To Rifftrax Live Tomorrow
As a result of the oncoming ice storm, I will not be going to Rifftrax Live: Santa Claus Conquers The Martians tomorrow. I've returned the tickets, and obtained a refund. Right around the time they begin the simulcast, the rain that falls over the course of the day will begin to freeze. There could also be sleet, and I would really rather not navigate icy roads in the dark. More--along with a dash of snow (0.6 inches expected for Paducah, 6 inches for other areas) for here, but more in other areas--will be added over the course of Friday.
Friday morning, I also have a doctor appointment--we'll see if I'm able to get there, or if they cancel. That night, it will be 10 degrees Fahrenheit. "It's not like it's going to be 2009 again," assures the weather lady.
There should be a quarter of an inch, to three quarters of an inch of ice from the freezing rain--but given what they've been saying I don't know if that's Thursday night, or later on Friday. That could be a problem if it accumulates on power lines.
Just in case of an outage, I have the propane heater for the other house. We have food. Granola bars as a replacement for oatmeal, should the power go out. We have blankets, and are gathering more from here, and many, many batteries. Should we get iced in, but don't happen to lose power--and if I can't back over here--I have a flash drive of movies. I know where a warming station is in Paducah, even if they only take people in at night.
I am currently checking a list of the hotels (again--it hasn't been updated since the air conditioning had a problem a few months back) and gathering their coupons in a manila envelope, just in case our power goes out but power in another area doesn't. I'll check Trip Advisor, and make sure everything is still suitable.
(And I don't know what's going on with Dreamwidth--unless I'm in Rich Text mode, it removes all the paragraph breaks, and combines everything into one huge paragraph.)
ETA: And to show the difference in temperatures, currently it's 70 degrees outside. There should be a drastic change by tomorrow night.
