Blizzard

We are having a spring blizzard out there and it's about time. We get most of our snow in March and April and highly depend on it for our water for the year. This year has been unusually dry and we haven't had much snow at all. But last night it started and is supposed to last for a day. This is great, wet, snow-man snow. The wind has picked up in the last hour so now it is really howling out there.

I haven't gone out in it yet except to get the newspaper but I took a few pictures through the windows. So far there are about 6 or more inches but it is blowing around now and starting to drift.

The last picture is Spooky nested next to the wood stove. He's so black I had to underexpose the whole picture to get any cat detail. He knows a good place to sleep when he finds one. I feel like joining him there.
