We are in the midst of a blizzard. Yep, it's a full-blown, we-are-getting-24-freaking-inches-of-snow type of blizzard. You know, the kind of blizzard that all the weather forecasters tell you to go buy bread and milk and your boss gives you the nod to work from home. Sigh.
I watched the opossum footprints around the pond slowly disappear under blowing drifts of snow yesterday and I wondered where the little guys are in this horrible weather. I sure hope they've got some opossum bread and milk stashed away in their crib.
And while I'm sure the groundhog isn't making any appearances in this neck of the woods today, I just have this sneaking suspicion that spring isn't coming any time soon.

You stay warm; and you stay safe. Darn this winter.
I wonder what country gets the most 'perfect' weather? Hmmm.... let's look that up and then move there ~ ok?
Keep warm my friend!
xo Catherine
Oh my cold weather friend...stay inside and I will pray you keep electricity. Thinking of you today!
I am so sorry our wind blew your way. Just wish our wind would have come with all the hype. Our predicted ice, sleet and 10-15 inches turned out to be .25 inches of ice, 4 inches of sleet and 2 inches of snow. Mess nontheless.
Now go make some snow cream with that milk. ;-)
Stay warm, eat some cookies...
Good luck little opossums, everywhere.
All we got was ice, but I still want to take the day off. A two hour delay isn't doing it for me. Might have to take a vacation day. Two warm cats on my legs would agree with that plan.
Enjoy being snowed in!
p.s. My word verification is "blerh." Yeah, that's how I feel too.
I hope Hobbes is staying inside today! For a second I thought those were his footprints. Stay cozy!
Waist high drifts out back.
Back later. Keep Hobbes safe :-) This is one snow where we won't see the orange stripey footprints...nor the orange stripey!
Stupid groundhog! We got the edge of the storm here. A few inches of sleet and then a few inches of snow. Yes it's blowing crazy, but overall the bark was much worse than the bite!!
Yep...I am familiar with that type of weather! Keep warm, and dream of Maui. (That's what I do to get me thru!!)
Burrow down in that den of yours and stay warm and cozy today. I'm thinking the opossums have the tube on and some hot cocoa by their sides.
Keep warm, Lin! It has been raining here every single evening. Dang the weather.
Our weather is pretty good, relatively speaking, we might actually get out today - another storm for the weekend and Florida is looking better and better...Tho San Diego is supposed to have perfect weather it is in California, not a place I want to live!
I hope you all are staying warm (and keeping power- eep!)
I'd gladly steal some of your snow. Mike and I looked at the massive spread of that storm last night and noticed how ONCE AGAIN it touches and then passes right over Baltimore. GRRRRR...we still barely gotten any snow at all this winter!!!
I feel for ya. We aren't getting 24 inches of snow but we woke to freezing rain this morning and now the snow is coming down big time. At least you get to work from home, I work in a grocery store so we have to be there for all those people who need their milk and bread :)
Stay warm. Don't lose Hobbes
My dad is in the same blizzard- actually my whole family except my cousin and me are. We're out here in Sunny CA. It's amazing how much time they spend on Facebook amongst probably losing power- considering they had lightening. Have you? We've done nothing but make bad jokes, and I feel bad- so stay warm!
brrrrr! Sorry :( I won't complain that it was 57 degrees this morning . STay warm and snuggle up to hobbes!
We had a mere 14 inches!
It was a chilly 40 something here today with plenty of sun and not a trace of snow in months. Hope you and Hobbes are staying warm in front of that fireplace!
Vanilla--What luck! We only got 20 inches. Ugh. After a long day of shoveling, I'm staying inside by the fire.
Catherine--I would say Veronica Lee's Malaysia, but she says it's been rainy there. Yeah, who can deal with that???! ;)
Tracy--There were some who lost electricity, but we were not one of them, thank goodness. We are safe--just sore from all that shoveling.
Jodi--I've had enough snow for one day, Jodi. We got 20.2 inches and they are saying more this weekend. Sigh. Forget ice cream--we are moving on to the booze!
Highway--I'll bet we don't see those little guys for some time--I think they would have to dig out too. And we got LOTS of snow.
Kathy--The kids are off for two days and I think I will join them. I only work part-time and I can do some of it at home. I think that is the plan for the next day or two. :)
Daisy--Do you see the little "fingers" on the footprint? That is how I know it is an opossum. Aren't they cute? I made Hobbes go out today and he was NOT happy about that. For some reason, he did not like all the snow we got.
Helene--No, Hobbes didn't want to go out today. I can't believe how high the drifts are here too. Ugh.
Diana--Uh, the bite was pretty bad here. Just ask my back after all that shoveling and snowblowing. count yourself lucky!
Hot Rocks--This was fun because it was so much that you couldn't help but have fun. We all had a snow day, so that was cool!
Betty--If they are smart, they'll bury themselves and hunker down for some time. It's going to take some warm days to melt all the snow we got. Ugh. 20.2 inches!
Veronica--I wish you and the boys were here--you would LOVE it! It's so high that you can't help but laugh and have fun it all. Driving will be another story, but we can have fun for today when we are all home.
Grace--I like the seasons. Just when I'm tired of this, another season comes to mix it up. This was one snow to remember!
Nancy--We do have power, although last night with the winds, I thought it might be down. We got 20.2 inches--come visit me!
Ann--I am lucky that I can work from home in such events. Driving was still dangerous today and I have a feeling tomorrow won't be much better. Thank you for providing milk and bread for everyone, Ann. :)
Pricilla--Hobbes had NO intentions of going outside today. Big chicken!
Managed Hosting--Hi, new pally! Yeah, we had lightning, thunder, AND snow! It was crazy!! It was sort of fun to have a record snowfall and have a snow day off of work. Can't help but laugh--what else can we do? Hope your relatives made out okay.
peewee--We got the snow yesterday and now we have below zero temps. Yeah, it's a winter wonderland here. Ugh.
Sharky--That's nothin! ;) I can send you some if you want....
Beaded Tail--I have to admit it was fun to get that much snow. All of the neighbors were out shoveling and laughing.
WE only got 2 inches of ice and a half inch of snow. Hopefully the snow will give us enough traction to get up the hill to stock up for the storm coming in on friday. Our possum came out last week to snack on the dog food. You might want to leave a few treats for yours so it doesn't eat your bird seed. Trust me they'll get up to that feeder one way or another.
Ugh. Stay warm and safe up there! I'm totally ready for summer.
