Good Morning All;
So Yah~FREAKIN'~Hoo just ate my entire damned blog...
I start over, knowing full well that it won't be "morning" anymore by the time I finish. (I am NOT amused)!  Maybe it is still "morning" somewhere.
Bear with me...

Snowstorm "Julia" is gone- But she sure came sweeping in, in a very fast and furious way. The sun shines so brightly this morning, making it hard to believe that this all happened within an 18 hour time frame...

I had to go to the Suamico post office yesterday to mail a package. Snowstorm "Julia" was predicted to arrive around 5PM.
We left at 3.

My yard as we pulled out of the garage.
Skies were threatening, and we knew she was coming.

Incidentally, I did rescue Punks orange toy before the storm.

Getting to Suamico takes all of about 5 minutes as long as the train isn't going through.
Ditto for the amount of time I was inside at the Post Office. (No train there either). hehehe

Still when I came OUT of the post office, my car was already lightly iced and topped with snow.

.
.

Where did THAT come from???

Even Punk is looking like "What the hey?"
And you can't even see tire tracks!
Julia was nasty~fast...

.
.


It might have taken us a bit longer to get home...

If there is ice/snow on your car, there is ice/snow on the road too.
My kids remember me telling them that over and over again.

As I mentioned in my comments last night, I knew my apprehensive feelings would pass as I slept. They have.
(Having gotten significantly better when I knew that both Greg and Kelli made it back to their respective homes safely last night). Greg was the holdout there; taking over an hour to return home after "quittin' time"-
To add insult to injury he wound up mired in the snow in his own parking lot!
hehehe

Glad I didn't have to go anywhere.
Happier still that I don't have to go anywhere today either because God knows it'd be tough to even get out of my yard!

Oh yes, that is a shot of my driveway last night.
Somewhere!
(I love the night vision setting on my camera). ;-)

My yard last night...
Taken from my bedroom window
.


.

Of course Punk wanted to check it all out for herself.
(Claimed she had to go potty)!
hehehe


.

While I do like the "decoration" on the window,
I had to first wrap my mind around the handle of that door...
.
.

.

That is just WRONG!
Yes, the door had been closed, (and it is also magnetized).

I had to forcibly push the door open.

Even the "dipstee~dumpster" looked nicer with a topper!
.
.
.

The back yard too!

And from almost the same angle this morning...
.
.
.

Major points for "pretty"
(If you are into that sort of thing)...
.
.
.
.

The shadows from the birches and the pussy willows are pretty too!
(Again, if you are into that sort of thing).

hehehe

My yard at sunrise...

?


And looking toward the West

I would have had this posted much sooner, but having lost it was one thing-

Having the plow truck come was another.
Jim is still in Tennessee, so I didn't know if I would get plowed out or not (he comes home tomorrow).

Sam's dad had picked up Jim's truck and come to plow me out! (Neighbors, and friends like this mean the world to me).

Of course I went out there and shovel away from the house and the garages too. I'm no fool. When there is horsepower in the yard to pull the snow away and out, I will take advantage of that anytime!

Time for me to fly!

Note: The following two statements do NOT apply to those of you that are south of the Mason-Dixon Line.
Hope you are plowed out. And hope you are warm!

Love to all!

Have a "wunnaful" Friday!

XOXO
Me
