-5* the next morning after the storm finally stopped
A cold designed to create stillness
While we waited for the air to start warming again
Waiting for the snow drifts to start melting (at least a bit)
Waiting, wary, because melt
always means ice!
Good night my friends!
Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

Waiting is the hardest. Waiting for the snow to start melting. Then waiting for the ice to melt so it’s easier to get around. We were hoping for chinooks tonight, but no such luck.
I have to admit that for someone who usually enjoys winter, I am ready for spring!
As another storm rolls in, stay warm!

We have lots of ice right now. A tad scary.

The ice can be deadly. It’s warmed up a bit here but more snow coming Wednesday. Warmer though, I hope. Stay safe.

I did have a slip and fall, but nothing broke. Thankfully

Ouch! Glad you didn’t break anything. At our age, a fall is a bad thing.

We only had ice here twice so far but Eddie made me stay in and he did my chores after he fed the cows. I don’t know what I would do without him!!!

Wow I can’t remember seeing so much snow at your place. That icicle picture is beautiful. Hope things warm up for you soon. Stay inside as much as possible in this cold weather, preferably in bed with your warm covers pulled up to your chin!

Tee Hee! It is the most snow we have had in years and years. Someone said the last time we had snow like this was in 1982.
