The Blizzard & The Ice

 We are in a blizzard. In some places, two inches of snow an hour has fallen. Then tomorrow and the next day, we are to get two different waves of ice and freezing rain. Mass power outages are very likely. Our state has been declared an emergency. So if you don't hear from me for awhile, you will know why.

Here are some tiny bird footprints in our yard.

Good luck! I hope you don't lose power, or if you do that it won't be out long. That's scary. Please stay safe and warm.

I'm so sorry to hear this and hope you have a heat source other than electricity.
I do not and therefore that is my concern when the power goes out. You are in my prayers.

Brrr.... Hope you'll be able to stay warm indoors, at least!

Hope it's not as bad as predicted. We've had a couple times where we were supposed to get ice storms but they never happened.
Stay safe and warm.

I’m praying that the storm passes through quickly and that there are no power outages. Remember God will see us through the storm!

Oh Ginny, I will be thinking of you during this wintery time. Oh my, a blizzard. We are supposed to get another snowfall in February too. Winter is not over for both of us. These little bird tracks are so cute, and you took some great pictures of them. Bundle up and stay warm, Ginny. I'll check in from time to time to see if you posted any updates. : )
