| The Terrace, 8:30 Saturday night. |
The various weather prognosticators have warned us that the first significant snowstorm of the winter will hit us Saturday night and last well into Sunday.
Here are a few things to bear in mind:
√ Please be sure your cars -- and those of any visitors -- are parked in garages or the designated community parking spaces so all driveways are accessible to being plowed.
√ As THCA President Steven Sanders has said in several email messages, we have communicated with our snow-removal crew who tell us they're set to serve. However, because a long duration of snowfall is predicted, removal no doubt will be undertaken in several stages depending on the rate of snowfall and the necessity of moving snow around to avoid as much as possible high mounds that obscure road visibility. So, some patience will be needed.
√ If you lose heat, Lorraine Bailey has graciously offered to temporarily host neighbors because she has an auxiliary heat source.
√ If you have a neighbor with mobility or other health issues, please call them periodically to see if they are doing well or in need of any community help.
√ If you have to go outdoors, remember to dress in layers. Several lighter layers provide more insulation than one heavy coat or other outer garment, and allow you more movement.
√ Keep your cellphones plugged into chargers as long as you have power to your home. That way you'll have a better chance at having the battery fully charged should power go out. And, speaking of cellphones, remember to use the "Airplane Mode" setting, If you are not expecting a call and don't need to be connected to the Internet, it will preserve your battery for much longer in the event of a power loss.
