Blowin' in the Wind

No additional snow just blowing what we have around. The ditches are full allowing the roads to drift shut. East / West roads are a treacherous mess. Our temperature has plummeted to -7 F... -21 C even the dogs just RUN out do their duties and RUN back to the house.

A crisp start to the day. Yes,,, that is the top of a fence post sticking just out of the snow. We supposedly have a warm up over the weekend... I'll believe it when I see it.

That's some gnarly drifted snow. I hate snow storms that produce a lot of drifting. It is warm & breezy here tonight, 37F. We got to 51F earlier today. I barked the dog and meowed the cats. Got my bankruptcy bookkeeping completed and submitted to the trustee. Just came out of the TV room watching Blue Bloods.

I really don't miss the snow back there, I remember lots of days when it wasn't snowing, just blowing hard!
