There's a big storm coming. We'll see. Sometimes the weather gets over-promised and under-delivers. But whatever happens in terms of precipitation, it's certain we'll be holed up for the weekend, because businesses and even the entire DC area public transit system have announced they're shutting down for the entire weekend - even though the first flake of snow is 24 hours away. We'll be fine unless the expected high winds knock the power out. Then it will be hard to keep the house warm.
We've managed to make ourselves so comfortable - with heating, air conditioning, and personal transport devices that have heating and air conditioning too - that we can go a long time not feeling much effect from the vagaries of nature. But now and then nature roars back to show who is really boss and how easy it is to mix up a potion of cool air, lots of moisture, and steep pressure gradient, that, even without any eye of newt, is far more than we can handle.
