Emergency Essentials/BePrepared

Normally I don’t have long gaps between posting.  But I decided to take a little unplanned break from blogging and most of my online activities.  I needed some R&R to try and shake all the colds and such I was coming down with.  I’m starting to feel much better now and I hope to be posting more often again.

The weather has been quite cold and rainy here.  From what they are saying it’s going to warm up the next few days but rain.  That’s to bad!  I would have loved a 12C day to enjoy one more hike.  Instead it will be to damp and rainy to venture outside much.  Then midway during next week the temps are to really start dropping off and a chance of snow every day.  Soon the snow will come and STAY!  The prairie provinces are already getting a deep freeze and snow.  I heard Northern Ontario is also getting a good bit of snow.

This week I have a few projects I have to get moving on.  I need to get my Christmas cards and letters ready.  I REALLY have to get moving on my knitted gifts.  Being sick has really slowed me up a lot this year.  I had hoped that I would have everything done by now.   I will post a list soon of the craft projects I’m working on.

 

While January has been fairly mild weather for us, many places around the world have been hard hit.  The southern USA has been hit with weather far below normal.  Europe and China have also been hit with freezing weather and snow.  I’ve been reading about damage to orange crops, also corn and other grains in some areas.  Homeless shelters are having trouble keeping up with the need.  Some areas have had power outages due to the high demand of electricity for heating.

It’s a real reminder why we need to take time to prepare for hard times.  You never know when unusual weather, job loss or illness will strike.

I would love to hear from you!  Are you having unusual weather in your area?  How are you coping with it?

Response the our vid on the climate change.  Found a news paper on the subject, I didn’t  know there was a summit on it this week.
