11 years... it's been 11 years since the last blizzard and Hubby is most disgusted that it fell on a weekend and not on a school day. Why couldn't this blizzard show up on the weekday.
We woke this morning to cats scrabbling around out on the deck trying to find a hole in a wall somewhere so that they could get in out of the desperate wind and blowing snow. Lying in bed, we didn't know what the problem was. We had our curtains closed on our window because the moon is approaching full and I am having werewolf feelings again. We heard the blighters outside scrabbling around on the deck and I just thought it was spring fever. How wrong was I. When I pulled back the drape it was clear that today would be spent indoors. I checked the sheep and alpacas and accounted for all of them as white lumps of snow. Honeydew too was a white lump of snow except her head was up. Poor things were hunkered down in the hay and were white with blowing snow.
The snow is blowing and I mean blowing. It is actually horizontal. I came downstairs and let the dogs out and proceeded to the kitchen door where the cats were looking into the window with pleading looks on their faces. I knew exactly what they wanted. Warmth and food. The dogs were white when they followed shortly after.
There was supposed to be a sledding party today for JCRs but I'm thinking that a sledding party might not be the best idea. I've emailed our patrol leader and am prepared to do some phoning as I expect everyone will have to be contacted.
Usually this region does not have snow and wind at the same time, so stormy weather like this is unusual. But it is just plain nasty. If I were a superstitious person I would change my colours back from spring colours....
And I can't even take pictures!
