The storm is here! Yesterday we had extremely warm temps–57* by four o’clock, then by midnight it was raining. Three in the morning rolled around complete with a ground blizzard and tiny specks of nasty biting snow.
That is pretty much where we are right now…side blowing snow with gusts around 20-30 mph full of little stinging flakes of snow. The trip to the chicken house was fast!
Terry has an appointment he needs to keep so has been struggling if it will be worth the drive. Blizzard conditions are never good. Our oldest daughter had to drive to work in Grand Junction and she said it was horrid. Our daughter that lives in Grand Junction and works for CDOT says the roads are a mess everywhere.
Terry called the man he was supposed to meet with and was pretty much told that the man made it in…geez.
Well, it’s up to him.
Your friend in a blizzard,

After all the news that we’d get 6 to 16 inches, it turned into about an inch. bad forecasters. We all hoped they’d have to cancel school!

Curl up with a good book and stay warm. It really seems early in the year for all of this to be happening to you.

Oh, I hope you all stayed home!! Nothing is worth getting out on bad roads. Of course, I know drivers in CO are much betting in bad weather than here in my part of TX!! Hope your weather improves soon.
Love your new header! Pretty! Stay warm and safe!
Blessings!

Oh my gosh, I had to re-read that a few times, I thought it read -57, and was shivering for you! Glad it was the warmer version of those numbers… Bozeman just received the first real storm of the season, -23 this morning and a warm afternoon of -2… I do love the diamond snow and blue skies, so no complaints really! Stay Warm! Nancy
