Winter Storm Nemo

The Weather Channel is making today/tonight/tomorrow to sound like another blizzard of '78 and I'm not sure if I should be "freaking out" yet. Because I wasn't alive then but I've heard it was awful...and sometimes weather sources hype up storms so everybody is forced to "be prepared." I love living in the northeast but losing power here during a winter storm is awful. I've heard that a few winters ago, Texas got some kind of "snow fall" which I guess they've never gotten before, and everybody like flipped out. And I'm just here with a forecast of anywhere from 1-2 feet of snow between now (7:45 Friday AM) and Saturday morning until about noon or so. And to be perfectly honest, we have 2 cars in my household, including mine, that in the event of a true emergency we could get out of the area if we needed to.
Bad news is that (the way TWC is making this storm sound...) I doubt we'll keep power, which really sucks because last season we lost power for almost a week and it was just super irritating. Good news that I'm blessed with is the fact that we do have a generator that can provide us with showers and occasional TV, Internet, and phone charging, and we do have a wood stove right in the living room. Toasty. Also I've been dying ever since I was like 13 to cook something on top of the wood stove. I should just do it sometime.

So this post isn't really about anything interesting, I guess it's just me rambling pre-"historic storm." I'll probably have early morning pictures of Nemo's impact around here tomorrow morning.
If you live in the lovely northeast or are also in the path of Storm Nemo, be safe! Stay off the road if you don't need to be going anywhere- seriously. Don't be that guy. Be smart, if you have a generator, get auxiliary gasoline for that baby because it's going to suck if you lose power. Batteries for the radio, yanno.

Oh, New England...hunker down!

It's 8:08 AM, 31 degrees Fahrenheit. I'm pretty sure yesterday at this time, it was 6 degrees. This is what we call, in a New England winter, a "heat wave." Bahah. But no, seriously. And it is supposed to get all the way up to almost 35 degrees. This is significant, considering the last at least two days have not gotten above 23 degrees.
This may sound like a bunch of crap that doesn't matter, but I have a point I swear. I have a Pose account and the app on my phone, which is basically just an app that you can "pose" a picture of yourself wearing something snazzy or whatever, and be able to tag where the stuff is from. It's like a little fashion community. Okay well, I was on it this morning just poking around and I noticed something. These women will wear barely a leather jacket and 5 inch stiletto booties and call it their "winter wear."
Really?
...Really?
Where do you live that that is what you can wear in January?

Every single day I wear this arrangement. Which, I might add, I wouldn't say is "Pose"worthy, but it's warm as hell and makes for good walking-Miss-Girl-through-the-woods-attire-because-she'll-keep-me-out-there-for-an-hour.
I think I belong in New England because we have winters like the ones we do. I have too cranky an outlook on life in general to live in a place where it's sunny and warm all year. If you're from Canada or Michigan or some other cold, baron wasteland that is your winter, then shush, its my blog and I'm going to complain about mine anyway LOL :3

By the way, the boots shown above are bad ass. They're BOGS, my parents got them for me this past Christmas and I love them. Highly suggest BOGS footwear. My mom made those mittens. And that coat is from LLBean and I'm pretty sure they don't even sell it anymore. But either way, LLBean clothes hold up like a champ.
I just had to say something on this subject, because I find it really silly when someone calls this their "winter wear":

You will break your neck, and be freezing doing it. Just. Saying.
Well anyway, I'm off to Bear's for the day and I'm a little late in getting ready now after writing this. Toodles.
