Batten Down the Hatches!

Even though the Great Nor'easter of Oh-Seven isn't set to commence till after midnight this evening, Betty and Cocoa are already settled in their nest, watching epic films and munching on ginger snaps and carrot sticks. The windows are shut, the kettle is on, the blankets are out, and the pile of books and DVDs is stocked and growing higher. Only this much is certain: it's going to be a cuddly next few days.
