Made it through the storms safe and sound, though we did have to spend a little while in the under-the-stairs bathroom when the sirens went off for a tornado warning! (I swear, the only time the cats didn't want to be in The Forbidden Bathroom!)
It depends on the storm, blizzards sound the nicest but you have to deal with the snow afterward and the power often goes out.
Thunderstorms are my favourite, we get them a lot around here, sometimes the wind knocks the power out too but it’s not as cold, it’s just the animals that have problems with them. The dog we have now doesn’t bat an eye and usually sleeps through them but one of the others we had before tried to crawl under the carpet…literally 🙁
I’m glad you’re all okay. I know some regions experienced destruction and fatalities. We don’t experience tornadoes nearly as much as your part of the country, but Maryland still gets them *way* more than Massachusetts. It’s been years and I still find it startling and upsetting. (Not to mention spring is too early this year – hope that’s not a bad sign!)
So far Spring is right on schedule, until someone rewrites the schedule and changes or ignores the old records…again.
That’s the problem with having lived through a lot of winters, you had to live through them but you also remember it when someone tells you what they were like who weren’t there.
We had a ‘good’ winter this year, I’ve seen worse and I’ve seen better but this one was pretty good…so far. There’s lots of time for the customary ‘April Fool’s storm’ yet, one of the worst blizzards I’ve ever seen was on my sister’s birthday in early April, the Spring ones drop a lot more heavy wet snow because there’s more moisture in the air and it isn’t as cold and that causes a lot more damage if the buds and leaves are out and it has something to stick to, storms knock over more trees in the spring and summer than the fall and winter.
