It is going to be cold with the nasty winter weather mix in the coming days. Several inches of "wintery mix" is headed for SWMO. I imagine the stores will be packed with people loading up on the essentials. I am going to have to make a run for coffee as I only have enough for a couple of pots.
While there is a better than average chance that the weather forecasters are wrong by several inches, I am more hopeful that they'll be wrong by several hours and I'll be able to make it home safely from volunteering tonight. The sleet and freezing rain is supposed to start a couple of hours before the morning travel time.
Ugh!
And while I am worrying about getting home from the overnight cold weather shelter, others will be looking for warm and safe places to weather the storm because they have no homes. There are only a few places where the unsheltered can gather during the day and they will be at capacity in the coming days. A few more churches will be open for overnight shelters in the coming nights to provide shelter for more of the community.
Wherever you are, if you can help your local shelters with blankets, food, clothes, or monetary donations, please do. We need to take care of one another.
