If it’s any consolation, FedEx is shit northeast US as well

5 days of record heat here capped off by this forecast. I know a lot of places say they have wonky weather swings but the Midwest truly is next level. It was almost 80° yesterday and tomorrow morning will be in the high teens. Nuts. (I can’t resist a weather rant)

10-12 inches of snow yesterday that took all morning to dig out from. Today warming to freezing rain temperatures with 5-15mm freezing rain forecasted, followed by and 25mm of rain, with high winds of 100 km/h.

I’m going to call it now and I’ll be without power for a day or three. Generator has been filled, extra gasoline stored, and chainsaws at the ready.

@goosehd freezing rain us the worst. Glad you’re stocked up and ready though

[Chap]

@goosehd stocked enough booze?

[goosehd]

@Chap possibly, although one never knows their true limits until they are put into a perilous situation.

@Chap he may have to operate heavy machinery, so no booze for @goosehd I’m afraid. Safety first!

Yes of course you’re right… but maybe a little beer after all the heavy work might be ok

[goosehd]

…and quite enjoyable afterwards. A cold beer after a few hours of cutting wood is always good.

@Chap I'm sure this is acceptable under Canadian health and safety regulations

If we go through this relatively unscathed, then a dram of scotch will be enjoyed by the fireplace.
