Here I am! Sorry to worry you!!!
I got tied up just doing stuff. I put some bread crumbs and dry cat food out for the birds. (the silly things love Meow Mix)
It's slicker than snot on a glass door knob out there and we don't have near the stuff Oklahoma and Missouri have! :eek:
Storm 3 is just now starting to move into our area. Looks like we will get a mix of freezing rain and sleet. That's supposed to continue until around midnight.
More prayers, please?
(((HUGS))) to you all! and THANKS
This would really be awful if I had to go through it by myself with out you all! :)
Prayers on the way- and stay indoors..
I hope your okay. Gosh, how scarry!!
Prayers going out to you and yours.
And a big warm hug, too.
Connie, I'm glad you're ok. I'm in shorts and a t-shirt today. The colder, rainy weather is coming, though.
Hang in there!
Logan
MOFF, I hope the storm takes a detour around your area.
We had a storm here today, a roof blew off a house, two bridges were closed and branches of trees broke off. I think it's over now. :)
Stay safe and warm!!
Glad to see you are making it through the storms! :)
Prayers and warm thoughts winging their way to you all. Keep warm and toasty and hope all animals are safe and warm too. you know to take plenty of hot drinks even if it is only hot water and lemon..... take care thinking of you all
:) Brrrr = Well Texas has survived.. I slid into work this morning with ice - freezing rain - sleet.. I think only 10 of us has made it to work so far.. However Tulsa & Oklahoma City got it so much worse.. :(
Glad that you are safe!
I saw my first daffodil today and its only January :eek:
I spoke with Momo yesterday afternoon and she was fine. It was snowing as we spoke and she hadn't had a power outage.....yet.
I also got to hear Leonardo. First he purred, then later in our conversation I could hear him calling loudly for his Mommy. Seems he gets lost sometimes. :(
Stay warm Momo and keep those hugs wrapped around you.
Here I am!!!
Made it through the scheduled storms but all morning it's been snowing like mad!!! :( Go figure!!!
I think it should be moving out soon. I hope anyway!!!
Thanks for all the prayers. I'm sure they helped move the storm away from us. Our temps are going to be way below freezing until Wednesday.
Please continue prayers for those in Missouri and Oklahoma who have no power. Hundreds of thousands are powerless right now. :(
Oh, and Leonardo has been "found". He is 16 + now and he gets confused in the new house sometimes! :D (gosh do I know that feeling)
Glad to hear you're okay! Poor Leo. Give him some scritches for me.
I'll keep all of those affected by the snow and ice in my thoughts. It's starting to gear up here.
The poor little birds have been having a tough time of it too. Here is a picture I took this morning. It was snowing at the time. That's why one of them has white spots. Two of them were so tired they just sat down in the snow to rest and eat. They were munching on Meow Mix. They love the stuff and my cats like to share!!! :)

poor little birdies!!
how sweet of the kitty kats to share their kibble with them!! ;) (should we now call it chirp mix) :eek:
I'm glad to hear you are safe with power. During bad weather I always feel so bad for animals stuck out in the weather! Those birds look hungry!
Oh Lordy Moff~
I didn't know that birds would eat Meow Mix!!!( that's Crazy~ but Cool :cool: )
I've got so many Bird Friends~ Mourning Doves, Juncos, Naughty Blue Jays, Sparrows, Cardinals , Woodpeckers, Nut Hatches, etc, who insist that I maintain the offerings!!! And, of course, I deliver the goodies~ :D
We've received some freezing rain, and a few inches of snow to boot, so, all my Birds have been eager to see what I'll do about it!!! :eek
What a Great Picture!!!!! ( Do you supply after dinner mints as well?)
Glad to hear you are ok on the news over here they are saying that hundreds lost their lives in the ice storms is this true if it is god bless their souls, and glad you and your animals can share with the wild animals in your area.
Warm thoughts still winging their way to you.
So far 40 people have died that I've heard about. There very well could be more that they find after they get power back on.
There are hundreds of thousands without power and the temps are in the single didgets at night. The wind chill was way below zero all night too.
I'm so grateful I have power. Thanks again for all your prayers.
I'm sure that's why we didn't get hammered as bad as Missouri because the radars showed us right in the middle of the ice track yet somehow the worse stuff missed us.
Sorry, Dorothy39, no mints served to birdies here!!!! They need to go somewhere else for dessert! :D
Looky what I just found sampling the Meow Mix!!!
I've been trying to make friends with this big guy since I moved here. He will have nothing to do with me, however.
At least he's getting a snack! :D

I am glad to hear all is well.
The news is bad on our end- I am glad to see you are safe and warm- I pray they get the power on for the rest soon!
Glad to see some good news after the bad!
I'm sure they don't mind being out in the weather for the snacks you put out! :D
My sister is in South West Missouri and feel lucky she was only with out power for about a day and a half.
I'm glad you're safe and have power. :) How of your cats to share with the wild birds, they are having a hard time finding food I bet. :(
What a gorgeous black boy you have there - how close is he? In a few days, he'll be even closer if you keep feeding him. Is he a stray, or does he belong to someone? By the look of his ear, it seems that at some point he has been in a fight with another kitty - Fister's look the same.
I just got shivers up & down my spine when I read ice storm. The 1998 ice storm I went through was horrible. Missed school for about a month & many people had no power & no water for 6-8 weeks. Most of the trees were broken to bits, or bent over touching the ground.
Many pets lost due to no heat & owners not being able to get to them. I had to walk about 15km to & from my friends place to feed & water her dog & try to keep her little animals alive... Only the dog survived, as we locked him in a small room, so his body heat kept him warm. Once the car was able to get to the house, he was removed & put in the hotel in town.
Oddly only 1 person died & that was due to a HUGE tree falling onto their motor home & killing them. Thousands & thousands of people were effected aswell, but a good chunk of the area was forest & not city. I was in a small town & trapped in there. The town recovered quickly, but we were litterly prisoners in our own town.. all outside roads were closed with hundreds of trees on the HWYs.
Our weather was as cold as -50C, which is about -50F for WAY too long. But our homes are designed to -50, so it wasn't too big of an issue even with no power.
I wish your area the best & a speedy recovery
Randi, I think he's a stray. He runs away if I get too close to him. He is finding food somewhere though. When I first saw him he was a skinny little fellow. Now he would make two of Chester. :DQuote:

At least it's sunny today!!! :)

in my prayers, moff. I understand about being a prisoner! seen my general thread yet? we all got stuck inside the house yesterday -- that's one major good thing to have pets!! :D all those cuddles, huggles and snuggles ..cozy and cozy.
be careful, hope this will get over quickly too.
Oh man, how scary. And people have lost thier lives due to the ice storm... :( :(
I have to say, although very frightening and sad, those are some beautiful pictures that have been posted.
Oh MOFF - I was just coming to check on you ... #54 made me smile and #59 made me laugh out loud! Cassie leaves the little "bits" of dry food in the bottom of her dish - she only likes the whole pieces. So I throw those outside for the geese and squirrels to eat. I'm glad you are doing okay. We saw a reporter on the news last night who said his drive from Dallas to Oklahoma City, normally about 3 or 3 1/2 hours, took him 7 hours. Chicago dodged it once again - we got just a dusting of snow last night, but now the temperatures are dropping into single digits overnight. It's only mid-January and I am ready for warmer weather.
:) UpDate in Texas is **** WE WOKE UP WITH SNOW FINALLY ALL OVER THE PLACE ** WOO HOO **** :D && nOW its trying to Sleet & of course all be Frozen all day.. I have pictures && now need time to post them all..
Connie, I am so glad that you are alright and not without power. I loved your pictures - and your "new friend" is very handsome. But, just like Randi, I noticed that he has a few battle scars on his ear. Mr. Rascal has an ear that looks like that too - he just loves the good fight and hates being an indoor cat because of it.
I love the Birdie Buffet!
Stay warm and safe - and here's come hugs for you too.
Some rescue groups who practice TNR ,notch the ear of the cat after itQuote:

Take care Moff, just stay inside & stay warm. :) That ice has to melt sometime, right? :)
I'm beginning to doubt it!!!Quote:

My sidewalk is still iced over from this storm. My neighbor kid couldn't get it off. Plus the city buried us in at the curb with about 2 feet of the stuff they scraped off the street. It's frozen too.
No mail has been delivered since Friday and, while I have plenty of food, I have visions of having to have an air drop of chocolate over my house like the poor cows out in Colorado had for food!!! :eek:
Good news is they think it will be above freezing tomorrow (by about 3 degrees). It won't have time to get off before the next round though.
sigh!
Connie, I have been wondering about you, but haven't checked in as I need to! :o
I'm glad you still have power and I do hope there is an end to this mess in sight!!!!
Hang in there!
Logan
