Weather Junkie

I hope Wiarton Willy is right. . . . The snow and the wind is not letting up, and I cannot see out my windows at times. Adam made it back okay from work yesterday (Saturday) night, it did take him almost three hours (usually one and a half), and he said it was one of the worst drives he has ever had. Roads are closed left right and centre, and supposedly the storm will not let up until at least Tuesday. I was trying not to worry about the road conditions last night while he was on the road, then around 7pm, I noticed that the roads on the MTO website had all these little boxes with orange stripes on them. Highway 25 is rarely closed (only once since we moved here). The only reason local folks say, that it does remain open, is that it is the "Salt Road" from Goderich . Which in effect means that that is the road they use to get the salt for the roads up this way. (I don't know if this is a rural myth). The only good source for road closures in this area is the CKNX radio site. I also looked at the three month forecast, and temperatures are predicted to be below normal. Meanwhile, Wookie wants a walk. . .too bad, even with the fur hat and the uber boots, I am not venturing out. It's about minus 30 with those wretched wind chills. I grabbed some wood last night, and I swear my nostrils suddenly adhered together within seconds. Plus I have this thing (which Adam finds strange) that happens with wind, I can't breath when it's windy, or if there is something in front of my face. If someone puts a hand even remotely near my face, I can't breathe.
