Feb. 2nd, 2008 05:40 pmIt's freezing rain out. This is both a good thing and a thing which is causing me higher amounts of stress than weather usually causes me. Dense fog? No problem. Blizzards? I can deal. Thunderstorms? Glorious things. But freezing rain? Makes me all antsy. Especially in the house I live in now, which has stairs and a steep hill out of it, no fireplace, and from which I can see lots of unburied power lines. It's also made of wood and would burn down very quickly.
It's beautiful. I love the sound of it on my window, and the way my windows now have a pebbly glaze on them. But I can't help remembering that ten years ago I was without electricity for three weeks, and that people's homes burnt down, and that it was very cold. I can't help knowing that Prince Edward Island is just picking back up again after their power was out for a couple of days due to an ice storm.
I do not believe I will be without power for three weeks again. It still stresses me out a bit especially since the simple act of leaving my home to get to a shelter if I have to would be a lot more dangerous here; steep hill, cliff at the bottom.
