Even though this major storm did cripple lots of the Nation, we were blessed! Thanks to the dry air, it dried out the moisture as it came through! We did get a few inches of dry snow, but that was it! And the HIGH winds keep blowing it away! Dry snow and high winds, living out in the open, left us with little snow to play in when the time comes to go out and play. So it's been super frigid cold, and little snow!!! We have seen highs in the single digits and the lows in the negative, not even counting the wind chill! Winds from 25 to 40 mph, with gusts more! It was nasty! The wind was actually scary!
The above picture was taken yesterday evening, looking out our front door!!!Below is a picture of the girls yesterday! Once the wind let up, I bundled them up in layers and layers, to give them a brief 5 minutes out in the snow to play! It broke my heart, as it's never been this cold for us when we were getting snow, and so they are use to going out and playing and having a blast! And since Sunday they had not been outside, as the storm starting coming in Monday night.
Here's a couple pictures of the snow that didn't get blown away!!!
All in all, it was beautiful! And we can say we finally did get some snow, but I'd be so happy to not see the super cold temps again! They were terrible! So bad that the water pipes froze down in the ground!!! Yes in the ground is where it froze up! And this happened, Tuesday, and they are telling us, it is likely to be Saturday before our temps are high enough to thaw them out. Our temps were single digits on Tuesday and yesterday in the high. Today we are suppose to get to 20, and tomorrow a bit above freezing, just not long enough to help us! Today I'm so thankful for the wind settling down though, it has made a big difference. And I'm thankful that it was water pipes freezing instead of loosing power for all those days, as we have a total electric home.
So we have been in the house and taking it easy! Not been doing to much of anything. Even took a break for unpacking, now I need to get back to it!
Hope and pray all of you are doing well and staying warm!!! That is what is important!
Hugs and Blessings,
