And Then There Was SNOW!

 Overnight the forecasted blizzard hit.

It's not THAT cold out there, about 30.

But with the windchill it feels like 14.

(So the guys tell me... I am inside...

just climbed out of my nice warm bed to

give y'all an update...)

It's still snowing and quite windy.

The crews have been out on the roads already though.

There is less snow under the trees... the wind is blowing from

the north so where there's nothing to stop it,

the snow is just sweeping away.

What car?

In the little cave between the houses, there's no wind and it's really piling up.

However, in our backyard where we have privacy fence,

the wind is less severe and EVERYTHING is buried.

Notice the chair and A/C unit up against the house.

The chickens have an IGLOO!

Kyle moved them yesterday to a more protected spot.

Hopefully the girls are ok.

No sign of them yet this morning.

(As usual though, LUNA is LOVING it!)

(Beau peed in the house.)

Kyle and his snow shovel to the rescue!

Rod couldn't even get the back door open this morning.

He said there was 4-5" of snow piled in front of it.

We are snuggly warm inside though.

There are approximately 6600 people without power,

many of them in Hays.

But we are fine.

Can't see out any of our windows though.

And........ tomorrow's high is in the 60's.

So this won't last.

It's a HEAVY, WET snow, which is going to be good

for the fields and our new garden we are planting in 2 weeks.

Grateful for the moisture.

And the adventure.

And praying for all the first responders and others

who have no choice but to venture out.

We retirees are staying put.

(And I'm going to bake chocolate chip cookies.

Because.)
