add in snow and yuck. So far we've had at least 2 inches, town reports 4, hard to tell because of the wind. Tracks in the yard fill in quickly, it reminds me of blizzards in the midwest while growing up there. Yuck. Balaclava, scarf, hat, gloves, thick coat, out to wrap the chicken coop with a quilt to slow down the wind through it.

Lights flickered once, but is fine now. There is snow blown up against the north side of our house, and windows, which is unusual since we sit up against the woods on that side.

Yucky and icky and this is not nice. NOT a good night to be out on any road and the shelter is full here, hoping people stay in and safe and wait for daytime and pretty snow again to be out and about.

If anyone has to be out, make sure you take extra clothes because the wind is brutal. If it weren't for the wind, it would be nice, but that wind is brutal.

I moved to the west coast from the midwest and do NOT miss blizzards at all. Yuck and ick to wind and snow mixture.
