Youtube have videos teaches how to stay warm. I like to watch storms. It can be relaxing.

Try not to watch the news much. The storm is
making me anxious also.

You’re not alone in feeling this way. I’m uneasy too, especially since my husband has to drive in the storm to get to work. The constant news updates can really intensify the anxiety, so it might help to limit how much you’re watching and give your nervous system a break. We can’t stop the snow and sleet from falling, but we can focus on being prepared and making the best of it. If it helps, feel free to share what’s been contributing to your anxiety. Do you have to be out in the elements, or are you able to stay home? If you’re staying in, finding small ways to distract or stay cozy can really help. Hugs.

I'm looking forward to the snow myself. I have everything that I need here. Unfortunately, school will most likely be closed on Monday and I won't get paid. My cat will be happy to have me at home. I wanted to go to Goodwill in the morning tomorrow but I don't think that will be possible. Snow is beautiful but I don't like shoveling ir.

I am in the ice storm part of the south. I did wake up super early for a Saturday and could not go back to sleep. I could feel the anxiety. We are prepared because I got us prepared. Food and water, etc. What I realized is anxiety is natural to these big storms where I live. It stops the entire city because the roads and freeways are iced over. Not our first rodeo. I get bored being in the house. Last big storm in 2021, we had no power on and off, rolling blackouts. This time they promise a good grid, better grid but my sister said they are now saying the storm is bigger than they thought it would be. Anxiety is natural but we also can't just focus on our anxiety. Cook something, read a good book, watch an engaging movie.

What is your anxiety about? I'm anxious because I'll be holed up at home alone during the storm. I wish I still had a dog. Once my knee gets better I'll adopt another one. I have some ideas of things I could do tomorrow with people and by myself. I also have work to do, but I try to limit that on weekends. With respect to news anxiety, ditto. My mind, which probably has some lingering ptsd, cannot handle it as of late, and so I don't take in any news anymore. Have a good tomorrow!

Hi Snowgirl ,
I can understand your co cern about the snow . I agree with Hasty and LadyBug . I myself stay away from the weather channels .
The predictions could be right or wrong .
I err in the side of caution .If I have an appointment and the weather is that bad , I reschedule . Before my accident in my career , if the weather was bad , they had delayed openings . I understand that it is different when one works . I remember the weather being so bad one storm years ago , that I walked a few miles to work ! The cabs were not even opened. When I finally got there, the corporate headquarters closed my place for the day . My manager drove me home and I had gotten great excercise!
