I tried to clear snow off my car and make a path to get my kitty boys to the groomer on time yesterday, but the snow was coming down heavily and getting piled into drifts by a stiff wind. It was clear that I wasn’t going to make the appointment.
I called the groomer, who rescheduled the kitty boys for a new appointment on February 2nd. It’s for the best. Poor things would have suffered the windy cold terribly after a haircut. For that matter, I had a hair and beard cut the day before yesterday, and I was very miserable after my short spell in the cold!
=(^+^)=
Dougy and I took another look at the snow after the sun came up. He decided a better plan was to take clean up in the warm front room instead of venturing out as far as he could sneak.
Here’s a look out the back door. I couldn’t open it to take the photo because of a drift.
Yes, that’s snow on top of the birdbath! I guess it is about 10 inches deep or 25,4cm, and the snow was still falling and blowing.
Wow – that is some snow gauge, the bird bath! Yes, you are better off inside.
Glad I got to stay out of the snow that first day, but the next day was, as you know, a different story.
doodz…..thiz wood bee one time then when snowz waz welcome ! 🙂 ♥♥♥
Wait till you read about the next day in Post 1285…!
Did you make it to dialysis today?
Barely! On the other hand, of four of us scheduled for 11 AM, I was one of two who got there on time. The whole ordeal’s old in today’s post (Post 1286)
My Cockatiel stayed in the cage while the cats were wandering.
A great strategy!
I saw a lot of that kind of weather when we lived on the prairies. When I was a wee lass.
This has been a reasonably mild winter, with his being the third significant snow. We got 17 inches (43,18cm) officially, making i the most snow so far, and there were drifts deeper than that.
You are making me cold. Like when I read to my daughters.
It was miserable, for sure!
Always better to be cautious. I know Nebraskans are more used to driving in snow than folks in many other states but it didn’t look like a good day for it. Dougy’s plan was good.
Nebraskans are better driving in this kind of weather, but people with all wheel drive and 4 X 4’s sometimes forget they are ruled by the laws of physics, too, and drive too fast for the conditions.
That happens back East too. And they think 4WD makes them immune to ice. No way.
I love the pic where Dougy turns away from the door. You just know he’s thinking, “Uh, no.”
Exactly!
Wow! You have got so much snow! Usually we should have as much as you have but the weather has gone bananas and we have non.
Lucky you! We got 43,18cm of the stuff, with winds blowing it into drifts!
I’m glad to hear you caved and called it off. Actually I gave you and the boyz a moment or two of worried thought, thinking about all that white stuff to be hazarded and just for grooming. They obviously received their “grooming” often enough. I’m REAL glad you took your snow day. Hi to the kitties. ~~dru~~
I was happy I got a rescheduled grooming session for February 2nd! That snow was just too much.
