ETA: they've already announced campus is closed for tomorrow (announced around 6 this evening, earlier than they normally EVER do). So as long as the power stays on, I'm perfectly good.
We're supposed to get bad weather (like, what, 2/3 of the continental U.S.?) starting tonight. I am hoping that it's mostly sleet, and that if the roads get bad, they have the wisdom to cancel classes tomorrow so people don't have to drive in.
I'm also really hoping the power stays on, as I have no safe way to start up my gas furnace if the electricity goes out. (I think in that case I will pile all my quilts on the bed, put on a hat and fingerless gloves, turn on my battery-powered lantern, and read in bed until the power comes back on).
I've been fighting a low-grade headache today and would not be at all surprised if it became markedly worse as the weather changes.
Everyone in the path of the storm: I hope you stay safe, the power stays on, the pipes don't freeze, and that you don't have to go out in it.

Hope there will be no necessity for such extreme measures, and your house will stay warm.
Everyone is prepping for the blizzard, everywhere I read, from OK to Chicago to NJ. Local weather forecast announced 24" tomorrow and Wedn. I prefer to think the more they talk the less true it will be, like in that old story about "crying wolf".
We'll see.
Good luck to us all.
I'm with ETat! I wish you a day of coziness and warmth, with power and lots of crafting/reading/piano playing...
I'm in France-- we had all our fun in December, and I'm wondering when it will be safe to put the snow shovel away!
