08:38 – Another blast of cold weather has arrived in Winston-Salem. Our high today is to be around 50F (10C), but then for the next several days highs are to be around freezing. Lows are to be mid-teens to low-20’s F (-10 to -5C), falling to the single digits F (~ -14C) later in the week.
I’m doing laundry this morning, as well as repacking our vehicle emergency kits. Barbara is to return to work Monday, and the forecast for Monday and Tuesday includes frozen precipitation. We live in the lee of the mountains, so as usual no one will know for sure what type or how much until it actually arrives. We could get nothing at all, or we could get a winter storm severe enough to shut things down. Barbara will drive the Trooper, but even so I don’t want her risking a fall walking from the parking deck to her office and back if it’s icy.
