Usually, when we have an extreme cold weather event I turn off the water.  Last night I let the faucets drip - 2 of them, and my pipes almost froze.  I won't do that again.  

I slept OK but I turned off the water (even colder tonight) before I left.  I also gave the cats extra food in case something prevents me from getting home tonight.

A friend gave me a ride to work today.  Will give me a ride home.  I have several buckets of water around the house for tonight's needs.  

The store is open. Skeleton crew.  Hardly any customers.  The ones who are here have major attitudes.  We don't have what they want.  One customer was blowing a gasket because the pharmacy is closed.  

I didn't see Lucky this morning but I did see the other cats.  I had forgotten the young boy cats love to go adventuring in bad weather.  Spotty in particular did that.  Biscuit has always been more a man of leisure and enjoys creature comforts.  Cleo got out of bed to climb in my lap during Bible study but went straight back to bed, after.  

My boss actually asked me to clock in early which I did.  I can use the money.
