The power outage on Orcas Island has disrupted ferry service. The biggest issue is that it is taking longer to load and unload. Also the high winds are slowing the boat travel a bit so just plan on a wait. But sitting at the terminal watching this beautiful winter storm is fun in itself!
Stock up on batteries now. Be careful of using candles!!! Get your wood supply close to the house, and cover it up as snow is fore-casted for tonight. We don't expect much, but you never know.
It's a good time to snuggle by the fire, play board games, or read a book. There are also som great cookie recipes taht do not require baking that you can make!
The storm is really fun to watch, and even winter storms are beautiful in our area of the country.

We are having a winter storm with worse weather to come. The high winds have caused a power outage on Orcas Island so it has caused some interruptions in the ferry schedule. You can expect power outages throughout the islands for the next couple of days if these high winds continue.
Stock up on batteries now. Be careful of using candles!!!
Get your wood supply close to the house, and cover it up in case we do get snow.
We get a few bad windstorms a year, but they say these is going to be a biggy!
There are white caps in Guemes Channel and the Ferries are rocking. The storm is really fun to watch, and even winter storms are beautiful in our area of the country.
