Been thinking ‘bout them c h a r r lately. So here are some studies of one of my dudes. Actually extremely happy about that foot study. I want to draw more cat monsters so I’m offering a small markdown on any commission that features charr in it! #GW2fanart #mastoart

Seattle folks, don't rely on GMaps when driving around today. Take roads you are familiar with that don't have steep hills. If you do start sliding, remember not to lock your brakes.

The sky is made of light. The tree is made of light. We are all made of light and it's just so just perfect.

National Weather Service update on the upcoming storm (9:20am PST Feb 7th):
https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?warnzone=WAZ556&warncounty=WAC033&firewxzone=WAZ657&local_place1=2%20Miles%20S%20Redmond%20WA&product1=Winter+Storm+Watch&lat=47.6456&lon=-122.1283

TLDR: Expect snow accumulations of 5-10" falling mostly Friday night into Saturday morning, where strong winds (15-30 MPH with 40MPH gusts) will result in blizzard conditions.

Good news: The forecast temperature dropped enough that most precipitation should fall as snow instead of freezing rain (which would have guaranteed significant power outages).

Suggestion to prep for things ahead of time:

Turn off your home's breakers (or individual rooms with the switches) and see what kinda food you're able to make, entertainment you're able to have, and if you can stay reasonably warm with blankets and other passive heating devices (or that you have wood to burn if you have a chimney).

This will help you identify gaps in your electrical outage preparation.

Some pointed questions:
- Can your oven run without electricity?
- Can your stove top run without electricity?
- Do you need a blender, dishwasher, electric coffee maker, toaster, or other wall-outlet-powered device in the course of your everyday life? Can you replace it with a non-electric equivalent temporarily (dishes by hand, toasting over the stove top, etc)?
- How often are you going to have to open your fridge to feed yourself?
- Do you have battery backups to charge your phone off of?
