This is our deck this morning!
We were supposed to get anywhere between 3 to 6" of snow over the weekend; not sure just how much we did get. Saturday Papa measured it at a little over 9" but we got much more after that with winds that caused drifting. He is saying we got, at least, 10 ". Some areas received up to 14".
Our granddaughter was supposed to take her husband to the airport, in Omaha, yesterday and was unable to because the interstate was closed. With the terrible weather people still felt they had to be out on the roads even after they were told not to be. In their area alone 7 semis and 4 cars were involved in accidents causing the road to be closed. All the rest areas were full with the Red Cross opening up more shelters for the people and many just staying in their cars. The whiteouts were so bad we couldn't see across the street from our house.
Papa had to go out Sunday to do some clearing, at different places, knowing he's need to go back out this morning which he did; just left about half-an-hour ago. It's going to be tougher today because of all the drifting. I have no idea when he'll be back. Sounds like they are going to take the Bob Cat out this morning, as well as, the 4-wheeler w/blade.
Poor little Pepper Dog! The snow was so deep last night and so cold it took her several tries to get the job done. She's a little Chihuahua and it's hard to do her "jobbie" when snow is up over her butt! I kept letting her out until she she was finished and when was able to stay in she snuggled down with us and slept the rest of the night. For those who wonder: Pepper refuses to potty in the house no matter how much we encourage her. We have pads for our 24 year-old kitty but Pepper just won't use them. She's been that way since she was trained as a baby.
Hope the weather is better where you're all at! If not, please be careful moving that wet, heavy stuff.
Have a wonderful day!
Much Love, Junie & Papa Allen
