Our little island is about to be bombarded by winter storm Leon. When and why, oh why, did anyone get the idea of naming winter storms? Are they bored, perhaps? Has the national weather become the latest reality show, packed with drama and hype? It would seem so. You see the red area in this map posted by Accuweather….yep, we’re right in the path of the latest weather event here in Coastal Georgia.
While the performer’s weather the storm…..oops!….excuse me, I mean reporters, we’ll be enjoying a nice quiet day with a fire in the fireplace and plenty of homemade soup and hot tea simmering on the stove. Maybe a hot chocolate or two, love the flavored varieties that are out there!
I’m going to stop myself from beginning chocolate chip cookie production. Not being able to get out and walk my usual two to three miles means I won’t be burning treats as efficiently!
My advice to everyone is to use this time to rest, regroup and spend some time with family. Play cards or a board game….let the kids make forts in the family room with sheets and blankets. always love this tent from the movie, “The Holiday”. Read a book out loud, that’s always a great idea! Time spent together is priceless. And should you have to be out and about be careful if the roads are slick. We’re not so well versed in winter driving here. Relax, take it slow and always steer in the direction of the spin should you hit an icy patch. Gently pump your brake and don’t, whatever you do, panic.
Be safe, stay warm and enjoy this little bit of winter!
