We are getting snow and ice tonight into tomorrow. I think more ice than snow.

We are under a winter warning in Michigan. We are suppose to get 8 to 12 inches tonight with some possible freezing rain. Unfortunately my hubby will be driving in it tonight after he gets out of work.

I am in western NY and we are starting to get snow and over night about 3 to 6 inches, tomorrow during the day another 6 to 12 inches and possibly over night tomorrow night another 3 to 6. We are getting a Nor"easter. Lucky us. Last time this happened and we were ready for it we got nothiing. Not so ready so probably will get dumped upon. I like snow on Christmas eve, and Christmas morning. Then it can all gl away. :D

We are under a severe winter storm warning here. The snow has been falling lightly since early afternoon, but is expected to become intense within the next two hours. As much as 16 inches could fall within the next 24 hours, and this may break the Toronto record set in 1944. High winds up to 50 mph may accompany the snow.

Okay, I like a white Christmas, but this is over the top.

...for the 2nd time in a week. And then once the trees and powerlines are beautifully ice-covered, we're supposed to be getting high winds. Got candles?

All things considered... Gimme Snow!

Sounds like it. Glad we got our errands run yesterday and today. Also very glad hubby has off tomorrow (he works for one of the utility companies). I cringe everytime we get these storms, mostly for his sake. Can't imagine being up a 28' ladder in this weather. Oog!

So it is an icy wonderland here. Roads aren't too slick. Ice all on the tress and power lines. A tree has lost some limbs and they came falling onto my husbands car. We can't move the tree right now it is frozen to the car. The winds are soon to pick up. I dread that.

So the winds have started and we are the last part of the township still with electricity....not sure that will last long. The iced trees have been slamming the house and since we are an end unit.....it is very loud for us.

Now here is a question. We have a gas stove with an electric ignitor. So if the power goes off, how would you manually light the stove...I know it sounds stupid but this is my first gas stove....

blueeyedmanda,

You can use your gas stove withhout electricity. Use a kitchen or fireplace match. Do not use the matches that come in the little books. Light the match, put it by the burner and turn on the gas.

I hope the weather improves.

Phyllis is correct. Like she says, light the match and THEN turn on the gas.

What about the matches that are wooden sticks, you buy them at the grocery store?

My box of wooden matches says "Large Kitchen Matches" The brand I have is Diamond. They are are wooden sticks about two inches long.

Thanks Phyllis

I appreciate all your help :)

Any wood match is suitable to the cause. The paper ones in the little packages sold for lighting cigarettes just don't stay lit long enough. Light the match and hold it next to the burner. Turn on the gas while the match is still burning--Voilia!

Do NOT turn on the gas first.

I hope that you don't actually need to use this advice. We had a brief power outage this morning around 6 am, but it only lasted a couple of minutes.

I hope it doesn't get to that either.

Everyone around our other parts of the township lost power....and we are hearing on the news that they will not get it until Weds.

We live in a large city area so it is suprising it would take so long.

Right now, we're having wind gusts of about 55MPH.

Earlier today, it looked like a frozen winter wonderland--but dangerous.....there were power outages, and trees snapped all over the place. It was a mixture of rain and freezing rain all day with sporatic downpours. Very nasty.

Hope it calms down soon.

Stay warm and safe everyone :)

I grew up in rural Maine, the longest I was ever without power was about 2 weeks in January, however it wasn't to big of a deal, I used the snow outside as my "fridge" my old cookstove for cooking and melting snow to flush the toilet, I also had the cookstove for heat... the only major change we did was move all the matress's closer to the kitchen for heat.

I grew up knowing my power could be out and for a while therefore I always have a "backup plan", I keep gas in my grill for cooking and a wood stove is my first purchase when moving into a new home and its one I can cook on if needed I also have been thinking about this time getting a generator to keep the fridge and freezers going as now I live in Nebraska and dont get the snow like in Maine

Today we still have power, many coworkers do not. The winds have finally calmed down....the ice is all over the place, it has fallen over the roads and houses when it fell from trees. Very dangerous.

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Nateral remedies

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
