I am feeling bummed. This year might be the first real year of "pathetic" xmas. I usually go to my brothers house on xmas but I don't think I can this year because weather is going to be bad. But assuming I do that trip won't be fun and could be downright dangerous. Assuming I make it home... it is very possible my power could be out as we are supposed to get ice and then rain and then freeze and then wind.

Then, if the power is out... almost immediately it is going to get very cold. And my home has gotten down to 55 after 12 hours without power in 30 degree weather never mind 18.

Assuming I make it though all that it is going to get extremely cold this week -5 or so, and that always is tough on me and then snow again next weekend, so no chance we can defer x-mas to next weekend. Ugh...
