This is what it looked like yesterday. Now it doesn't seem so bad compared to what it looks like today.
Of course if you are a child this might look better to you.
I didn't like the looks of my poor apple tree.
And I didn't like it that Misty looked like she was shivering. But she could go in her shelter to keep dry.
I liked the look of enjoyment on Elly's face as she ran around in the snow for the first time.
And the looks of pleasure on my children's faces are priceless.
I looked at the weather forecast and found that it is supposed to get up to the 50's again soon. That helps my outlook as well.
Here are a couple short videos I took this morning. You can hear the howl of the wind.
Since we were getting a nasty down draft I let my nice fire burn out. We are using our furnace which I am thankful to have. But it isn't as nice as wood stove warmth.
On the morning news I saw that our school district is taking a storm day. Our home school doesn't take storm days. I did cancel my appointment that I had in town this afternoon. Tim said the roads were very icy. He could only drive 30-35 mph all the way home from work this morning. Since the wind is supposed to blow all day it makes for a bad combination. Going to town isn't worth possibly having an accident. I can wait.
The children are now inside from their first play in the snow. So I had best go and start our school.
Stay warm!
