My massage therapist had a cancellation, which I snapped up. I realized I hadn't been there in a year!
We had fair warning. We expected a storm, winds, and a flash freeze. I headed home to hunker down.
The storm approached: lightning, winds, rain. The lake effect snow coming in behind was amazing.
We hunkered down to watch TV, hearing the wind outside. I was watching the thermometer. I was fascinated in the change:

As I watched, the power outages accrued. They worked on it quickly, and the next morning there were about 23,810 without power.

It was a wild day for sure. I kept waiting for our lights to go out but we were lucky.
the drop in the temperature kept to a good regime , any maths teacher would be proud of the decreases. Hope you stay safe and warm.
That's nasty weather for everything.
What a storm that hit you all, and so glad the power was fixed so quickly for some of the outages.
I meant, I hope the power was fixed quickly...
Glad you were okay after this one. Fascinating to see the temperature drop differences.
I got all shivery just reading the temperatures going down there. I NEVER want to be that cold unless I'm dead, then it doesn't matter.
We had a similar storm, heavy rain and thunder. And the wind took our power out for a couple of hours. Take care, have a great day and happy weekend.
Oh I envy you that massage appointment. Our little village at one time boasted at least 5 long term RMTs & now the village does seem to hold any attraction for even one to stay more than a few months. That drop in temperature was extreme even for Ontario.
We've had days in the 80's up until a little while ago and then the temperature plunged about 45F in 11 hours.
Way out west we have big grass fires.
It is amazing how fast temperatures drop when a front moves through.
