3. It's not as bad as I'd expected here in the city; fortunately no power outages that I know of

in the immediate area. Last time we had a heavy snowfall with high winds my power went out for a day and it got damn cold, so that was a worry. There were a lot of accidents yesterday; the roads are still a mess so I'm glad I don't have to go anywhere today. Might bundle up later and go for a walk now that the wind has dropped. I have cross-country skis, used to do a lot of that, but I'm afraid my old knees would complain too much these days.
