I'm sorry about sending all that ice & snow to you good folks back east -- I tried to hold it back, but just wasn't strong enough! That mess is what's left of the storm that dumped a lot of snow in our Colorado mountains. It's still snowing today, with another storm promised for later in the week. Our weather has been terrible lately for flying light planes -- when the temperature isn't bitterly cold, the wind is blowing madly.Unfortunately, I didn't add the cockpit heat option on the Challenger, but most of the cold-weather Challenger pilots in Canada use that. As I recall, even the Canadian Defense Honcho flies one of those! Again, for a good look at that goto:

This morning even Oklahoma has ice problems: When I was at Fort Sill in the late 1940's we had a severe ice storm: My big Indian Chief motorcycle looked as though it were encased in glass, and some power lines and tree limbs were down from the added weight. I'd never seen that before, because it's very rare in this area. Instead, we usually just get a huge accumulation of snow. Just now I brought some filled gas cans in from the shed for our generator, if needed. We're the only people in our neighborhood with a small generator. My advice -- buy one if you can! When our electricity goes out we can still run the baseboard heat boiler's water pump and electronics, and also the microwave and a few lamps. Freezing in the dark isn't an attractive option, so try to stay warm and love one another -- it works real good when done in the proper combination!

Sounds like you are taking good care of yourself. We also have a generator! Learned the hard way a few years back after an ice storm. Today in Arkansas,.......can you believe by five this evening it is supposed to be 78 degrees???? Kinda makes it hard to get into the holiday spirit! 
Stay warm!
