Frigid Night in North Carolina

BRR!!!!!!!!! We went well below freezing last night in Henderson! It’s till unpleasantly cold out there. At least, the sun is out!

I treated myself to a new duvet before leaving Hampton Roads and it is divine. I didn’t even know how cold the rig was until I poked my nose out from under the blankets this morning!

I had left the furnace set to about 50F (thinking in degrees F? I’ve been in the US too long!) and it kicked on seconds before I reached the thermostat to crank it up. I went back to bed with the iPad since the Lowe’s had wifi (!!!!!!) until it was warm enough to get up.

Since there’s a rest area a few minutes down I-85 from Henderson, I decided to just dress and go there (here), where I could have breakfast, assess my electrical situation, and hang out for a bit. I’ll be shortly moving on to another rest area as there are 50 billion signs here saying no loitering, 2 hours max.

My laptop’s out of juice, so more later. Hopefully, I can find some power for it today. Gah.
