Although I just heard a rumor that the City Manager is "considering" closing. Let's cross our fingers.

It's REALLY starting to snow out there. Wish I was home with kitties!

You're still there?? The Governor is telling all State employees to go home. I hope you can get out soon, and get home to cuddle with those kitties!

Our City Manager is one of those "Western Pioneer" type. (Of course he only has about 8 blocks to drive home, LOL. We get to leave at 1:00. Then I'm heading to the store. I hope THEY'RE not closed!

There's no place like home
It's raining to the point of flooding here. It it were colder (it's 47 out right now), we'd be getting a couple feet of snow today.

I hope you keep electricity. Go home, snuggle with the kids (an S/O) and stay safe and warm!!

Looks like you're on the rain end of this storm.

So far, so good for electricity. The snow totals are just nuts so far. We haven't gone and measured, but we're pretty darn sure we have well over a foot of snow right now, and it's not going to stop until mid-day tomorrow.

Movin' on up!
Today is my day off and I got a call from work - the company closed down the Pueblo CO center, due to the storm and re-routed their calls to our center. They were calling all of the off people to come in and pick up the slack. Since this is my only day, to take care of business, I declined the overtime.

Stay safe and warm, Heidi.

Hubby had to do the work of shoveling the walks.



Even with the snow blower he took over an hour and then had to go out again an hour later to keep up with it.

I just opened the garage door!
12" since I got home at 3:00. I guess there's about 18" in the backyard. The snow comes up to Shadow's (the lab's) belly, and JD's head just sticks up out of the trench that Shadow makes! And no sign of stopping.

I hate snow...but I like it around Christmas...its been so warm then it gets cold and back and forth
I wish mother nature would make up her mind about this
It is so pretty when it snows...its just too cold and I hate cold and and really hot weather
I just would like a white christmas rather than a rainy one and thats what they are calling for here
...now tho we are at least in the 40's warm compared to what it should be lol...

So far we have power, and lots of snow. Most everything shut down yesterday. I'm not sure about today though after all of the cars getting stuck last night on the highways, I doubt the commute would be good. I'm fortunate that I can work from home. The kitties seem to like that also. They were all hanging out here in the computer room with me yesterday.

Front Yard


Back Yard with 4 ft drifts


And Poor hubby shoveling the walks again (there was 4-5 inches that fell overnight)
