I got up a little before 6 am to turn up the heat. It was all white outside. I went back to bed and turned on my electric blanket. I laid there for awhile and turned on the radio. The forcast was for 12 to 18 inches. The station was out of Delaware. Good Greif! I got up and opened the front door to see six inches of snow on the railing. I got my coffee and Danny got up and was ready to go out. I bundled us both up and got the snow shovel. I had it in the laundry room.
Danny bounded into the snow which was higher than his legs. He slipped a little on the steps. He didn't wait for me to clear the way. I shoveled as he put his head down into the snow and used it as a snow plow. I lead him to the rock by the fence where he usually goes but he bounded across to the other side of the house under the cedar tree. The sonow was not as deep under the tree. He circled it a couple times until he couldn't hold it any longer and spread eagle. He didn't even lift his leg. Then he hopped out into the road where tire tracks made a path to walk in. He did his business in the road. I bagged it and put it in the trash can which I had beside the front on the house. We follow our tracks back into the house. What a mess to clean him off. The snow was balled up on his fur. His legs, belly, and chest. It took me about 20 minutes to get the snow off him.
It looks like Ryleigh's birthday party will be postponed. I don't know if we will be able to get out by tomorrow. I hope the power doesn't go out. I will be stuck with no heat or water. I have a couple large bottles of water but the toilets will not have any water. It is about a two mile walk to my niece's house. Her power may go out too but they have a woodstove and Ed may have a generator for the water. But not a good idea to walk in blizzard conditions.
I can work on sealing up the holes around the plumbing pipes. I looked at the mouse trap but nothing is in it and it hasn't been sprung. I'll go out later and take some pictures. It is really pretty out there. Danny chased the birds in the back yard. It is pretty in the woods, Ther birds are flitting through the under brush looking for food.
The weather channel had 1' to 2' predicted. At first I thought it was inches but took another look. I don't think we had this much snow total in five years.
