It’s a Blizzard Out There
It’s a blizzard out there. I’m sure the weather service will call it officially. Conditions must be winds of 35 mph for three hours and visibility reduced to a quarter-mile or less due to falling or blowing snow. We’ve got that. I turned into a human plow to get through the drift on the back porch on my way to the hen house this morning. It’s worse since then. Steve is off work due to weather for the first time in 26 years.
We’re well prepared with firewood, water, and gizmos plugged in to be 100% charged if the power goes out. There’s always more than enough food to last until the plow can get out. Speaking of the plow, I haven’t seen it since last night so it’s likely grounded until the storm starts to slow.

The hen house is about 125′ from the house.

We’ve all got that view of snow blown against the window.

I haven’t seen this in a few winters. I’m just not so sure I miss it too much. It’s warmer than normal 40 degrees in Michigan! Love it-this weekend it will be 50!

You get some real corkers where you live, that’s for sure. That window screen caked with snow looks very similar to a pic of my kitchen window that I posted not to long ago!
But the REAL test of a storms’ mettle is your man not going to work; Mr Shoes is similarly dedicated.

oh my gosh… the window drifts….
