new header- looked out the window this morning, and watched a whole flock of chickadees hop [because they couldn't fly against the wind] from the tree on the east side of our yard to underneath the boy scout storage trailer in the middle of our yard. Lucky for them, our bird-hunting dogs are waiting out the weather inside *grinning*.
This morning we lost power about 3am, and it came back on about 7:30am, just in time for the kids' breakfast. But that was from the wind- the snow came around 10am. I took the kids to school this morning- Morgen is "student of the week" in her classroom, and we had a huge poster collaged with about 50 pictures of her that I've taken since she was born. Anyway, after I delivered kids and poster to school, I dropped some letters at the post office, then high-tailed it home. I knew this storm was coming, and while I do have 4WD, I'm not stupid!
I have snow caked between my screen and the glass of my windows. The swing in the front yard is pretty much stuck at a 45-degree angle; which happens to be the same angle the snow is falling, with the wind blowing so hard. The windows have steam on them [and part of that is they're old and leaky] because it is so much warmer [65 degrees] inside than outside. BRRRRR!!!!!:)and in non-related but much happier news: Walmart is carrying the cherry cordial-filled Hershey's Kisses again. Mmmmmmm! I got some to make Valentines for the kids, but hey! since I threw in an extra bag [or three], there's plenty in case I need a snack ;)
