snow is evil...LOL

So it's been snowing now for about 4-5 hours here in Cumberland, Va and we already have about 8-10 inches and it's supposed to snow all day tomorrow. Anyway, it is a lovely powdery snow that is really quite fun to be out in.

Well, we just had to go to our neighbor's house down the road (she is stuck at her mom's house) and check on their dog. We got all the snow off the top of the kennel and gave him something to eat and made sure he had plenty of water. When we got home I told my DH that we should go do the same for our outside dog, Charlie. His kennel is a 2 car carport type thing with a tarp and his dog house is a calf house filled with nice warm straw and the doorway covered with a blanket to keep out the wind and snow. Anyway, I go to hit the underside of the tarp inside the kennel and yep, it splits.

I got almost a foot of snow dumped right slam on top of me. Meanwhile, my husband is trying to keep himself from peeing all over himself laughing at me. I couldn't help but laugh. Kennel tarp is toast and I am wet but we still have power so I'll get dry. Snow is evil.......but still fun!

Well don't eat any yellow snow that is near your husband!! Ok, let me rephrase that...Don't eat any yellow snow at all!!

I used to say that to my waitresses to get them to smile...."Here's a tip for you.......don't eat yellow snow!" Always gets a smile!

Funny story, lori!

Speaking of yellow snow....my brothers used to~in the homesteading days~go out to pee in the mornings and write each other's names in the snow. I guess it was an effort at insulting each other .....good thing they all had short names.....

looks like we got about an inch of white mess out there right now, but it's still coming down.

Awww....I wish we had some snow, evil or not!

Did you get dried off and warmed up??

 

[lorihadams]

Yes, I got dried off and warmed up, until this morning when we had to go dig EVERYBODY out so that they could eat and get water. All the chickens looked at me like I was out of my mind. They just stood on the ladder all in a row looking down at the ground like "You go first" "no, you go first" "but what is all that stuff, will it hurt my feet" "forget the food, I'm going back in the house where it's warm and dry"

The ducks tried to walk on top of the snow, all around the yard while Chad dug up the food and water dishes and then they hightailed it back in the duck house too!
