Here in the tri-state, we’re ringing in 2025 with a big ol’ winter storm, now officially dubbed Winter Storm Blair. I got up early this morning and hit the grocery store as soon as it opened. Didn’t go overboard-just got my usual stuff for the week, a little early this time. Having lived through a couple of ice storms, I know all too well what it’s like to lose power, and trust me, it’s no fun.
