Snow day

Halloween night was a chilly one here, with even a few snowflakes here and there. That’s not unusual in this neck of the woods. It is, however, unusual to wake up to this the next morning…

Especially because when you went to bed the night before, they were calling for less than 5 cm of snow. But apparently, overnight the wind shifted and we were treated to about 15 cm of “Lake Effect” (ie, thick, heavy, wet) snow.

I guess it’s officially the end of whatever was left in the gardens.

I went out to get the shovels out of the shed, and knock the snow off the catio fence.

Everyone but Lemmy elected to stay inside where it was warm and dry.

He seemed a little unsure at first, though this isn’t his first snowfall – just his first this year. It wasn’t long before he was running, jumping and diving through the snow like a fool.

Temps are back on the rise again (the snow was half melted by late afternoon) with more rain in the forecast, so it won’t stick around for long. But Lemmy is making the most of it while he can.

    GOOD GOLLY!!! We were all whining about it being too warm and now we’re all in the deep freeze I am frantically trying to get my one remaining outdoor feral a warmer shelter. I didn’t heavy it up since it was so hot. At least I’ve got her coming in to eat now several times a day. Baby steps.
