Weather Ahead: Jeebus

The storm expected tomorrow includes extremely high winds, which means power loss in the middle of the deep freeze. I have access to wood-fired heat at two other residences, but can we get there in the middle of a storm?

The region — expected to stay below freezing in the meantime — will again be hit not only by snow and ice pellets Saturday night into Sunday morning, but by winds that could reach 50 to 70 mph, with peak gusts of 90, in the foothills.

"This next system could actually be worse than what we just had," said Jeff Michalski, meteorologist for the National Weather Service.
