In this case, the towel can be used to keep you warm or to seal an unwelcome draft.
"The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people." "Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy." "I did," said Ford, "it is." "So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?" "It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want." "You mean they actually vote for the lizards." "Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course." "But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?" "Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in."

It will get cold, wet, frozen, and power will go down in many places. But then it will warm up and melt, and and the power will be restored.
I predict the best predictor of the future is the past, and this is the way it has happened in all of the winter storms I can remember in the South.

Okay, SIG4EVA, you win. You’re closer to me than BigSwede is — I’m coming to your house!
It looks like our bourbon choices are way similar.
