Is anyone filling out a Canadian form CIT0001 to get a citizenship certificate? Would love to have someone to bounce things off of.

In case you haven't found them yet, here's an excellent reddit thread, and the forms themselves.

Handsome birb! Glad you survived the experience.

@avlcharlie That’s is wild. Fingers crossed.

We just went for a long walk today, and sat outside with a coffee! It hit 53.

We're doomed, I swear, these gyrations in temps are going to be impossible to deal with eventually.

The #WNC area has had an upgraded wind warning until 7pm Saturday, with some serious threats from NWS

20-30mph with gusts to 65. Expecting power outages and tree damage. Telling people to stay in the lower level of their homes, and avoid driving...

More snow possible, with white-out conditions.

They had talked about wind, but no one had said anything like all of this.

We had several power blips this afternoon when the winds picked up, but it switched successfully each time. And these were only about 14mph winds.

Hang onto something, we will apparently never have a normal weekend again!

Is it time for temporary facial tattoos?

@jeridansky

Wow, that's wild. I know the region is extremely expensive, and I'm sure something new will fetch a large premium. But yowza.

My sister enjoys sending me the real estate sales from around the District area which can be similarly unearthly. Naively I thought many homes would go empty or prices would come down when the new regime came in, and the long-term rational people left. I badly misjudged how many rich, connected, awful people there are.

@jeridansky

Is that them, in that row? Wow, didn't know they were that far along.

I'm sorry they're encroaching on your days, Jeri. At least (and it's a tiny "at least") the trees remain, if it was Florida they'd have clear-cut everything.

Maybe we could move there, and be neighbors, if you, know, I found $2million.

"The loss of Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement would be catastrophic for both the hospital’s financial viability and the healthcare infrastructure of western North Carolina. Mission Hospital is the largest medical facility and the only Level 1 trauma center serving residents of western North Carolina, where residents are older, poorer, and sicker than average elsewhere in the state.

Decertification would mean Mission could not bill Medicare or Medicaid for services, depriving it of its largest revenue source, potentially leading to a reduction in services or, less likely, closure."

Way to go, #MissionHospital !

For anyone following the mess at #MissionHospital in #Asheville, apparently CMS is finally getting serious about the recurrent deadly ineptitude and isn't falling for "we'll staff up for a month until this goes away" BS.

I love this so very much.

@ehmatthes

Yikes!

While I'm fond of cold weather, I'll be really glad to get back to lows of 20F, if we ever manage it.

@samlitzinger

This is all so hard to watch from the outside, but it must be so much worse with a personal connection.

Another blastingly cold morning here in #Asheville, but heating way up for 40F with luck today, so some of the snow will shift.

2.8F outdoors at the house, and very low humidity inside.

Looking for at least a couple of warmer days. Thanks for going with me on the snowy adventure!

@TheEddieShow

I did it for you, and it was 11F here. Quite dark, too, but the phone brought the light in. Not much of a photo, but it is a moon...

@lindarosesmit @BobHorowitz @saarmuller

She mentioned that too, and I will try to remember it. Such wonderful words!

@BobHorowitz

Oh. Wow. Can't even imagine, what an experience. I'll be those pictures are something to see.

Well, you know the hills around here, and at least yesterday and early this morning nothing had been plowed, so parents were out with their kids and sleds on the streets.

I couldn't watch for long, as they'd come down a big hill and right into the street we side to, which can be quite busy. No disasters, happily.

@BobHorowitz

This was a real treat, but seeing the sun was good, too.

More crazy up and down later this week.

What @saarmuller told me is called "kwakkelweer" in Dutch, which means "quaking weather" or when it alternates above and below freezing.

It is now my favorite word.

It is NOT my favorite weather.

@BobHorowitz

LOL.

I really need to be more terse with my alt/text.

The Man thought I was crazy to be doing the sidewalk, he'd long since gone back in the house.

Today the sun has found us again in #Asheville, and it is helping do some of the melting without it ever getting warm. Currently 22F but the macadam is clear and dry after the 2nd shoveling this morning. Low of 5F tonight, and more winds.

Really beautiful.
