There is a thick coating of "ice" on everything now, but the rain has finally changed over to **snow**

We momentarily lost electrical power a few times this morning, and I'm breathing a sigh of relief that it was just for a " moment!!!"

We did buy our Christmas Tree yesterday~ and it is being stored in our pole building (in water of course) until this storm blows over!!!

Hello Winter of 2006

Wow, Just got back from going shopping & the wind nearly knocked me
down. 50 mile a hr wind gusts have scattered all my lawn furniture & also
knocked out power to the nearby shopping center. So, me and the pups
had a short trip.

It's 29 degrees and high winds. I think i'd prefer the
snow.

Good grief, Liz. Stay warm and out of the wind! Our wind is ferocious, too, but it is still warm enough to have the windows open here if you can stand the wind. I can't remember the last time we had such a blue sky. My pups are upset (at least Lilly and Ben are). Honey and Mack could care less! Ha Ha!!

I imagine the leaves will be thicker for the cleanup tomorrow.

Here I am safe and sound if snowed in!!!

I have never seen such heavy snow. We ended up with 13 inches. I'm so grateful we didn't get the massive ice like they got in Missouri. Our power stayed on. Here are a couple of pictures:
This was when it started snowing really bad. At times it was a complete white out. My little redbud tree is in the background.

This is a pic of my front steps. There are supposed to be 3 of them in there somewhere. I sure hope we have some warm weather. I don't have the enegry to dig out!! Good thing I stocked up critter supplies!

WOW! You people back East sure are getting hit! Us California weather wimps have apparently closed some schools down in L.A. because the temps dropped to 50! BTW what is a pole building? We don't have such things in California.
