It's pretty, sort of, kinda


But I am glad that I am home and snuggled up in my nice warm house. And that I'm just seeing this snow in the photos my daughter sent. I got off the phone with my her a little while ago. She's in Hartford, Connecticut watching the snow come down. She can't really do a lot else as they've got 30 inches right now and it's still coming down. I grew up with snow, lots of snow, but I don't think I've ever seen anything like this.


Sarah is not going to work today. At least not in her own car. This is her parking lot at 20 inches of snow this morning. The hospital has sent out 4 wheel drive vehicles to pick up nurses for their shifts. Sarah's been waiting 6 hours. She's pretty sure that she won't be going in at all. In fact as I was talking to her, she heard that a state of emergency has been declared.


There are technical difficulties you might never even have thought of when there is this much snow. This is Chester. He's about 15" tall. His bathroom is out in the snow and he's had a little difficulty balancing. Poor little guy fell face first and is embarrased.

Kramer, who is 10" tall and has the same bathroom arrangements as Chester, refuses to go out. But really, can you blame him? The snow is 3 times deeper than he is tall. Just in case you're wondering, they've cleared a little space on the balcony for him.

I hope all of you who are living out there in this terrible weather are snuggled up warm and toasty with a nice cup of hot chocolate. I'm thinking nice warm no snow thoughts for you.

I am so glad that is not the view outside of my window, for a change. We are now having extremely mild weather and the snow is almost all melted. Hope you are all snuggled up, even if it isn't your snow.

In the D.C. area we have managed to skirt the snow issue, but it's friggin' freezing! But, what do I expect, it's January ... which I've always felt is the cruelest of months. I sometimes wonder if not I'm wishing my life away!

I have seen this pain and felt it, and feel for all involved.....it is miserable. All we can do is try to stay warm and hope for an early spring!

Since I grew up in Connecticut that New England weather is all too familiar. I do not miss it at all!

Poor pups...when you gotta go you gotta go!
