SNOW BOUND...

This is what most of our roads look like today and with a

high of 22, I think they will look that way tomorrow. 
Hubby cleared off the walk way and found an
inch of ice under the snow.  Kids have been out of
school for three days and looks like they will be
out again tomorrow, how sad, right kids? :(

We did get out for the first time this week and made it to

the Post Office and to McDonald's for a quick lunch. 

Nice to get out but Oooooo so nice to be home :)

WELL...IT AIN'T SPRING...YET

I got up this morning to SNOW!
My pretty little yellow flowers, my vision of SPRING, all gone! It has been snowing and blowing off and on most of the day and boy is it cold!
It is suppose to warm up sometime this coming week so guess I will wait and look for Spring then :-(

SPRING...YA THINK ???

Look what is at my back door!!!
As cold as it is...I can't believe this
little bunch of yellow right next to my porch!
I am soooooooooooo ready for SPRING.
I will even take JULY and 90 degree weather.
I am just so sick of cold, gray, snow, rain and all that winter stuff.
How about you?
Are you ready for SPRING?

SUN'S OUT!

The sun came out but I don't think it will melt any of the snow we got last night that is covering the ice we got yesterday. Didn't make it into work today, they were not sure they would even stay open. All the roads are really bad! No one is moving unless they have to and we had to make it out to mom's to pick her up. Her lights went out yesterday afternoon along with her phone. We knew she had the fireplace for heat and that she would be OK until we could get there today. She is now staying with my aunt a few blocks from us. My aunt has a spare bedroom and mom didn't want to fight my cat for the couch. lol

MORE ICE STORM...

As the day went on the storm got worse. These pictures look like snow but believe me it's not, it's pure ice! Our neighbors tree just split and is blocking the street. Hubby cleared the walk but it is covered again. Tree limbs are cracking and falling all over the place. We had to pull one off the roof because it was laying across a power line. We just got the power back on, sure don't want to lose it!!!!

ICE STORM...

We are still having the ice storm and will have until 6AM on Wednesday morning. Our lights went out about 7:30 AM, just as we were leaving to go to work. The roads were not as bad as I thought they would be and we made it just find. Only saw two cars in the ditch. When we got to my place of work, only two people had made it in. The opening manager said she was not going to stay open very long and if I wanted to go home it was OK. I really didn't want to stay because hubby was taking the car and I was afraid I would be stranded when and if they closed up so we took off for home. When we got back to our little town it was all dark so we slowly drove into the next town and went to breakfast at McDonalds. Hubby really wanted to see if any of his coffee buddies was there, which being smarter than we are, they were not. As we pasted Wal-Mart hubby asked if I wanted to stop and walk around instead of going home to a empty dark house. I think he just wanted to check out the McD's there for more of his coffee buddies :-) After getting home and checking on my mother and aunt, who was without heat our lights came on about noon. So here I am like most of our towns around me, sitting at the PC and blogging. I did take some pictures outside of my old "Welcome Goose" with ice coming off her bill. The walk and old red deck is covered with ice and you can hear the ice in the trees cracking. I just hope the trees don't crack or it will be me cracking ;-)

FIRST SNOW...

We got up this morning to our first snow . Not a heavy snow, which I am thankful for and I am on vacation today so I don't have to get out in it. It was beautiful standing there watching it come down. It should be all gone by this afternoon. Tomorrow it is suppose to be high 50's almost to 60 which is fine by me since I have to go back to work...
