I think the best way to ride out bad weather is to invite a barn cat into the farmhouse, fire up the wood stove, get a good quilt to warm your feet (having a spouse to ferry cheese ad apples is good) and read a good book (Patti Smith, “M Train.”) The barn cat will do her jb and sit in your lap, keep you warm and help you settle. It’s a good way to ride out a cold winter’s night.
