snow day

Here's a time line for what I experienced with the most recent polar vortex:

Woke up at about 5:30am on Sunday because that is my schedule.  I peeked outside, saw a light dusting, and even a rabbit in the back yard!  Slightly frustrating, because everyone had been scared to go out because of the overnight forecast, and actual conditions turned out to be pretty manageable.























 I went back to sleep and when I woke up several hours later, it was a true blizzard out there!  Snow blowing everywhere and accumulating.  Lots of snow drifts.






















This was the scene this morning.  I canceled by doctor appointment and rescheduled for another day.  I don't even have a shovel.  I forgot it in my folks' garage when I moved.  My dad is coming over later to bring it to me and help me dig out.  I have no intention of going anywhere until work tomorrow, though.  The air temps and wind chill is too frigid.  I'm not going to risk it.  Plus, I'm already cold in the house.  I don't need to go outside.  At least the sun is shining, though.  Still have not seen any snow plows on my street.




















I'm also curious as to where the rabbit is and if he/she is okay.  I almost want to put some vegetables out on the back patio.  I will keep an eye out for tracks in the snow the next few days.

My dad said that wiener dog has been having a hard time.  First, the snow is deeper than he is tall.  Second, it's SO COLD!  My dad cleared an area for the dog to go out into the yard, but he said that the dog pretty much peed on the front porch and ran right back into the house.
