Wow.....here in my county we got about 5-6" of snow. It's sleeting right now. The temps this week range anywhere from 13 for a low to 38 for a high. So I don't think this mess is going anywhere for a while.

Most roads are impassable but that's not keeping some folks from trying. They're gonna get stuck and have to wait a l-o-n-g time for help to arrive. I wish people would just stay in unless it's truly an emergency.

The little feral kittens were all looking out the barn door this morning as if to say "what the heck happened to our yard?!". They're used to coming to the back porch to eat. I put lots of dry food and water in the barn last night. The water's probably frozen....I hope they're smart enough to eat some snow if they get thirsty!

DS didn't have to go to work this morning - thank goodness - because he would have tried if they'd have been open. Can't tell that boy anything. Now.....if one of the guys at work had said "hey, you'd better not try and drive in this mess" he'd have listened and stayed put.

Most of the interstates are impassable and some are even closed.

Three months till Spring!!!
