We are on the tail end of an epic snowstorm, even by Wyoming standards. As of about 4 pm today, the National Weather Service reported that we had 30 inches of snow in Cheyenne since yesterday morning. That's more snow than we've had in a 2-day period since 1979. Yikes! At our house, we've lucked out a little bit. Our power has stayed on so we've had heat and been able to cook. Glenn shoveled a path for the dogs to go outside and do their (ahem) business. He also made a path to the chicken coop after I waded through waist deep snow to take them food this morning. The chicken girls are warm and snug too, and not interested in venturing outside of the coop, thank you very much.

| The dogs, while appreciative of Glenn's hard work, were confused because they usually don't take bio breaks in the front yard. |

| Reina working on a diorama about ancient Japan. Yes, those are pajamas and yes it was the middle of the afternoon. Snowy days have different rules. |

The literal calm before the storm. I took this picture Saturday morning. The storm arrived a little later than forecasted so I took the dogs to the field for one last run to tire them out. An inordinate amount of my time is spent figuring out how to tire out the dogs.
School is canceled tomorrow. Glenn and I don't get a snow day but we do get to work from home. We'll both probably have to take a little bit of time off to shovel the driveway. Roads are pretty impassable right now but we'll have to get out eventually. This moisture will certainly help our drought situation but wowzer, I wouldn't have minded it being spread out over a few more weeks. |
