The wind is howling through the mountains tonight. It has done so for a last few nights. Last week we had snow.Is this a sign of things to come? It isn't even winter yet. If you are reading this post and live in the North Georgia Mountains please make sure your fireplace chimneys have been cleaned.
Also I was on a fire call recently and the home owner took the ashes from his fireplace, thought they were out, and scattered them in the yard. They weren't. Luckily a passerby saw the smoke and we were able to stop a brush fire from getting a lot bigger. I am curling up by our hearth tonight . Please exercise caution. I do not want to meet you for the first time in my fire gear.

It's raining here in Southern California, so you can expect to receive more storms in the days ahead.
Hi Charlie:
Hopefully it will warm up again quickly there in Georgia!
Yes...extra precaution needs to be taken when cleaning out ashes....
Charlie...
It sure is cold and wet here in Newnan ...Brrrrr! Stay warm my friend.
We had a huge rain storm last Monday, and Zoey the Cool Cat can't get to sleep right now because there's another huge rain storm passing through. It hasn't let up in about four hours, and Zoey the Cool Cat is not used to hearing rain drops on the roof and windows, nor hearing water coming down the downspouts.
Charlie, we had that cold spell here in Redding and lots of people had broken pipes. We don't get that cold here. We were down in the teens....and we personally did not have troubles. I have a client in the Trinity Mountains that has been without water for 7 days now. I'm worried for them. I'm sure you are ready....but insulate those pipes.
Charlie ---- it has been raining for 2 days here, but seems to be clearing up -- it is about 60 degrees.
Happy Holidays
We are starting to get a little chill today.... maybe snow this weekend
Merry Christmas from your friend in Charlottesville!
