the beast

of the east as it is known here has dropped his calling card.  Starting snowing last night (Wed), everything is closed and the entire country is on a red status warning.  No buses, trains, planes, nothing!  Emma visits us tomorrow with more snow, high gale winds and freezing temps.  It's crazy weather time.

the truck was backing down this steep driveway and was sliding a bit but he made it.

storm doris

paid us a visit and brought gusty winds, rain and hail.   The view is from the sitting room window.
