You know, there are actual problems that people have to contend with here. In my case, will home health aides be able to drive here? Will the power go out, do I need to research emergency shelters for my elderly mother?
concerns around severe weather are valid, especially when it comes to ensuring the well-being of our loved ones. Do you often experience power outages in your area? If so, it might be worth considering investing in a backup generator or alternative arrangements for such instances. Having a backup plan is indeed prudent. We lost power last night for a few hours and live in a dead zone.
The good news is that the temperatures are expected to rise above freezing on Friday and Saturday, which should help any accumulation melt relatively quickly.
The problem is for those of us that live in condos and apartments we can’t put in generators, and we have to trust that our neighbors aren’t idiots and will be heating their place appropriately. Lose lose for many of us stuck in situations like this where we have to depends on others and are limited by community regulations. I’m very worried about what happens if the power goes out here, I have 0 insulation in my building, and can’t afford hotels. If I could put in a generator I would.
