So… The blizzard is officially here… It’s crazy out there.. HOLY SNOW & WIND BATMAN!!! Steve is on shift and I’m home with my sickie and the pup. I just went out and braved the elements to snow blow what was there… Some of the drifts were huge!!
Poor Jersey girl can’t even go to the bathroom without her “parts” all under the snow… Sheesh… for that matter her whole little body is under snow!! Good thing she LOVES it! She burrows her nose down to the ground and runs around like a crazy lady. It’s pretty funny!
(Here’s what we were looking like when it first started)
And here’s all the fun weather warnings we are getting around here…
