With the freeze thaw, the snowblower froze to the garage floor! (It thawed the next sunny day!)
For those nagging us to keep cats indoors, not a problem.
Annabelle hunkered down on my pillow. JB made the bed around her. Do you like my new nightie?! A touch of colour on these dark days.
I so miss my Daisy May. We had such joy together on our forest walks. We are all calmer and happier without the stress. Hooper and Annabelle like to sit on top of me, Hooper on my lap, Annie on the footrest.
I snapped these with the zoom lens, through the window! That lovely frozen rain...
In the dark, and the thawing days, Butch arose from slumber. They've been quiet in the deep cold.
Monday was hell for some people. Lake Effect Snow is common around the Great Lakes. Six hours to clear the scene, 70 cars involved. One minute you are fine, the next, snow squalls. Ribbons of snow. This is winter!
Only minor injuries, thankfully, even a cop was hurt. Very lucky.
Lake effect snow... the ribbons of snow are amazing.
The wind map is interesting, from my armchair! The winds pick up the moisture from the lakes. It all depends on the weather, and if the lakes are frozen over. If not, the winds pick up even more moisture from warm, open lakes. The lines show the wind direction. You can check out the surface temperatures there, with annual comparisons.

Just a few more weeks to go Jenn. You can always look back at your fun times with Daisy on your blog!
I know all this weather isn't funny, but really, the snowblower froze to the garage floor is funny. Glad to see you now have two calm cats. That accident is horrifying. And I remember lake effect growing up in the Chicago suburbs. Stay warm.
So sorry for the car drivers. :( Is there any dead?
Huge motorways, lots of vehicles, one skids and then there were 70!!! And all waiting for the first part to be cleared, a long cold wait for some. We had a warmer morning here, still needed the heat pump however. And a cat by your feet, so comforting.
Only minor injuries, thankfully, even a cop was hurt. Very lucky, ReHiTu.
Annabelle looks quite comfortable buried in the bedding.
It must be difficult to navigate this terrible weather.
I have read that we can expect a big change come mid-March. The implication is that it won't be gradual. Of course, it also won't be the total end of winter.
