That's the same thing that happens here. That reminds me of this old video - Spoiler Lol the second one snowflake falls people run to get bread and milk for some reason. ~ I had classes today, we're still doing at home classes and yeah I think we will be next week since there's like somewhere between 3-6 inches of snow happening on top of the 7 on the ground now. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People panic buying is a problem. During the covid lockdowns my local supermarket imposed limits on how many of some products people could buy at a time in an attempt to keep stock on the shelves. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efaardvark Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Not much. Kind of nervous + bored. Work is closed. Power is still out so no internet except for my phone. Outside it’s smoky and air quality is extremely poor so even physical exercise is out. Mostly keeping my batteries charged and listening to the radio reports on the “Eaton” fire. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that fire doesn't reach you. I've been watching the reports covering it and LA looks like the apocalypse. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen some pictures in the newspapers and saw some video footage of the various wildfires on the TV news and it's quite horrifying to see the level of destruction. What's even more worrying is that the fire services are overwhelmed by the scale of the fires. I hope you stay safe and that the fires don't reach where you are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I saw a video earlier of the LA skyline with just fires in the back and it looked really bad.

I hope everything will be okay and you'll be safe where you are @efaardvark Thanks. Up until a couple hours ago I was under an evacuation warning (meaning, pack the car and be ready to go, but ok to stay for now) but it has been lifted now and the electricity is back so I'm taking a breath while I can. More "red flags" - high winds plus ultra low humidity - in the forecast for this weekend but for now I'll take what I can get. My boss lives in Pasadena only a block or three from the "Eaton" fire. His mom's was one of the houses burned down in nearby Altadena so he may not be in next week. (She's ok but the house is gone.) JPL had been evacuated like everything else in Pasadena and completely shut down but now that the evacuations have been rescinded they're rebooting and dusting everything off to get things going again. I'm not sure if things will be ready for us to go back to work next week or not though. Got a text this afternoon saying that people who are able should plan on working remotely for at least next week. Rather difficult to do without power and like I said, there's likely to be more "red flag" weather over the weekend and into early next week. Considering calling my aunt over in Ventura and visiting her for a week. Still quite a lot of recovery to do on many fronts. I spent the last few hours after power came back cleaning the ash and soot that's covering everything like a layer of snow. Not complaining tho. At least I still have a house to clean. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad your electricity is back on that's a blessing at least. Altadena looked really bad I've been seeing a lot of videos come out of there 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasuke Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Got a bit of shopping done for the next week early this morning, finished my tidying up of the closets I had started, finished some other house chores, and now I'm sitting down to enjoy relaxing for the rest of my afternoon and evening. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakura Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 I had a great day out with @Zeref today playing in the snow, getting some coffee, doing our shopping, we walked down by the river front in the snow and just had a great day ^^ I took some pictures of it that I'll post later ~ Right now I'm just hanging out and talking to @Forlorn on the phone and probably annoying him lolll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakura Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 I woke up earlier this morning but only played on my phone for a few minutes before I went back to sleep until almost 4pm. Then I laid on the couch half-napping while watching anime the rest of the day and fell asleep several times. I did get up a couple of times to eat some food but the majority of the day I've done nothing and felt like doing nothing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
