Eventful

We had a Weather Event yesterday. That event being snow, and lots of it. It started on Tuesday night and continued steadily all day yesterday. It was still snowing when I went to bed last night, though it seems to have stopped now.

We ended up with about six inches of very light, fluffy snow. It's light and fluffy because it's cold out there. At the moment, 15 degrees with a stiff wind. Cozy. But I like the light snow; it's much easier than heavy, wet snow when I have to get out and do things like get the tarp off the woodpile and open the gates to give the chickens water.

Speaking of the chickens, they are not appreciating our Weather Event. The chickens don't appreciate ANY weather except sunny and warm with a chance of bugs. They get bored in the winter without anything on the ground to peck at. Apples just aren't the same as all those lovely insects.

As for me, now that my morning chores are done, I'm free to sit inside with Cubby and enjoy the wintery scene outside my window. Nice.

18" and its still coming down. But here in WNY I am used to it. This is the third big snow of the winter, and we haven't hit blizzard season yet.

Here in St. Paul, we have had only one day this month when it hasn't snowed--yesterday. Today, again, we have the white stuff coming down. Mary in MN
