Weather Apocalypse

We have 2 big windstorms hitting our region in the next few days – the first tonight, and the second on Saturday night.  The forecasts predict a lot of disruption – particularly power cuts, with the wind expected to topple branches and trees which will bring down power lines.  I went to the supermarket last night and it was unusually busy, probably because people were stocking up and preparing for the worst.  I suspect that this may be a bit of an overreaction, I’m sure some areas will be heavily impacted by high winds – particularly those on the coast – but the main urban areas tend to be less affected, at least by the more extreme weather.  We shall see.  Check out the forecast for the next week:


Yep, that is a serious lack of sun.  This is a frustrating drawback of living in the Northwest – it can get very grey and depressing at this time of year.  This looks like a weekend of not getting out much – a chance to free up some space on my DVR (currently about 70% full – I have a lot of programs to catch up on!), and it might finally be time to bring out the exercise bike for some use (it’s still boxed!).
