Blizzard 2008

It's about 9am (new time) and so far, so good, we're all still surviving. Knock wood, our power has stayed on, so we still have lights, water and HEAT :) Yay!

I read online this morning we got about 49 cm of snow with this storm... not sure if that will be the final number yet or not... whatever, its a crapload.

I put up a few pics in the FHH album this morning. A couple from Friday, when Bert was lolling around on top of the shelter having a nap and enjoying the warm sunshine.

We went to bed late last night around 1am (old time) and were up just before 7am (new time). The wind was very loud last night and I find it makes it hard for me to sleep, so I actually used my ear plugs and that helped, even if they are uncomfortable to sleep in. For whatever reason, hearing the wind like that keeps me awake and makes me worry a whole bunch!!

Cleanup hasn't started here yet, the wind is still too strong to bother. Since we didn't sleep lots last night, we're heading back to bed now for a nap and then hopefully in a couple hours, the wind will have died down and we'll go start the cleanup. No point in doing it while the wind is whipping.

Everyone has been fed and watered and is doing ok. The goats are not impressed, of course. I told them this morning this blizzard is their punishment for taking me down on Friday! Now what *I'm* being punished for is still a mystery! :)

Anyhow, that's it for now... off to nap and rest up for the cleanup! Yay us.
