February 2,2011-yesterday we received the blizzard of the decade...it is debatable, because of the high winds, butit looks like we received 10-12 inches of snow. Everything has been shut down for the past two days. Hubby had to work, he went trudging up the driveway last night at 11:30 PM to go to work in the blowing snow. I-70 was closed from Kansas City to St. Louis all night long. This system stretches from TX to the North East US. What a mess. It was, however...beautiful. I have over 15 inches of snow on my bird bath. Our Chickens and Peafowl are hold up in their building with heat lamps. It is supposed to be extremely cold tonight, in the minus readings. My little dachshund, Chloe, can't hardly go to the bathroom outside, because her belly rubs on the snow. My Parrots are all safe and warm, just ask them!
The top picture is the beginning of the storm, early morning, 2/1/11. I had filled my Bird Feeders the night before in anticipation of the storm,and in looking out I see a "furry" ?bird? on my feeder. He must have flew to it! The bottom is the morning after., 2/2.
