08:08 –<\/span> They changed the forecast. Yesterday morning, they were predicting 3 to 6 inches, but in the afternoon they changed that to 5 to 8 inches. We ended up getting maybe 3+ inches here of wet snow. The roads aren’t bad. I just came back from walking Colin and it’s mostly heavy, wet snow on top of slush. In some places the slush is frozen solid and crunchy, but mostly it’s just wet slush. Barbara just left for work in the Trooper. She shouldn’t have any problem getting to and from work. Tomorrow morning may be another story, though. Today is to be right around freezing, but overnight it’s to drop 5 or 10 degrees below freezing, which should turn all of this semi-melted slushy stuff into sheets of ice.

Work on the prepping book continues. Right now I’m working in section I (the first month), writing the chapter on security and defense, chapter I-9.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Repeat from yesterday: I just finished the first draft of what is tentatively designated Chapter I-8. It’s from section I (the first month), and it covers Electricity, Lighting, and Communications. If you’d like a copy of the PDF, email me at thompson (at) thehomescientist (dot) com.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

I should emphasize that this is a first draft, direct from my keyboard. I haven’t done any editing or rewrite at all. There’ll be typos I’m sure. There may even be major missing sections that I somehow forgot to include. There aren’t any images yet, and I haven’t even started to format it for print. The final chapter may well look a lot different.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

If you do get a copy, please keep it to yourself. Don’t post it anywhere. This really is rough, and most authors wouldn’t even consider letting anyone see their work at this early stage.
