Storm Hype and Updates!

[phesina]

The air is filled with whiteness here... the snow is really coming down. It's supposed to keep coming until around 7am tomorrow.

Fortunately, I do not have to go out before tomorrow (and much later than 7am), at the earliest!

Checking in from west of phesina - Douglas is out with the snow blower - we've had at least 9 inches so far. They say it will continue until tomorrow morning. Poor birds - I keep going out and to clear a place on the ground for the ground feeders.

Our boy cats are depressed. They go out on the back porch - see the snow - head back inside for more sleep and food.

Good wishes to all (all species) in the storm's path.. that you can keep safe and warm, everyone!

Our projected total has been upgraded to 10-18" - we'll see what does materialize!

We got something like 7-8 inches of snow. Raining now, then back to freezing this morning. At least it started raining when I went to bed, so no snow to clean out of the driveway. I spend several hours yesterday keeping up with the snow!

Snowing heavily at the moment, several inches already, but I can't tell how much! When I opened the blinds to see out, at least 6 mourning doves, and a few small birds flew out - they had been sheltering from the storm close to the building, in under the porch above us as far as they could get!

Honest to goodness, the forecast says "Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Temperature falling to around 15 by 5pm. Wind chill values as low as -1. North wind 13 to 16 mph, with gusts as high as 29 mph."

The funny thing is it is already colder than the predicted low. It is now 11° (-10 C) and a wind chill of 0°.

I hope you all stay safe no matter what the weather brings!!

This reminds me of the "storm" we were supposed to have a couple months ago. They even closed schools here..............in CALIFORNIA!!! It was no where near the severe storm they thought it was going to be. Didn't even make a dent in the draught either.

We are supposed to get some rain later this week. But I'm sure it won't be enough........again.
