Ice castle

It is 12:42AM. I decided to turn on the computer and post these now, just in case the power goes out in the next 24 hours.

This is the view out the back door, which is frozen shut. (That is ice covering the glass, for all you Californians):



This is our street. It looks like it is covered in snow. That white stuff is not snow; it is ice.


The good news: School is canceled (again)!

Yikes. Hope you have lots of blankets and hot chocolate. Bet Ginger is so sad she picked this week to go to AZ.

hopefully, no one is leaving the house today, for any reason. It was -20 here this morning. :)

Toooooo Cold for me. Glad I live here even though the wind is blowing hard today. The sun is out and of course it is only 62 but then that is cold for me. Don't think I could survive where you are ! Take care, stay warm and stay inside!

Christina--no one was really driving on it. Everyone pretty much stayed indoors for the last three days.

Just back from visiting Vasseur's in Florida for two weeks where I watched the snow and ice on the television screen in 80 degree comfort.

Wow, the snow is waaaaay up over my head, there's four feet of it on the roof, there's no place for my dog to run.

No more, please.
