Winter Storm 2008

It's pretty crazy out. blowing a constant 45 with gusts to 60 from the arctic NE for 25 hours straight now. It's 19 degrees right now, which puts us right below zero with lows to -11. That wind is so harsh. It snowed saturday and sunday. We took freda out yesterday for groceries and the wind scared her. Honestly, it kinda scares me. You can hear the gusts coming about 5 seconds before they hit. Sticks are breaking off the trees around our house and hitting the roof 24-7. The yard and roof are completly littered with sticks. The heater has been runnig since noon, as this duration of a storm is not typical. I started a fire a few hours ago and we are all cozied up in front of it watching spongebob squarepants. Just got word it's not gonna stop blowing and we are getting more snow Wednesday and then another storm Saturday. High temperatures of 25 degrees and lows of 9 (minus the wind chill) thru to the new year.
