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.

  1. Oh wow! I had no idea things were that bad there! I wouldn't mind a little snow once in a while, the key word being 'little'. Stay in, stay warm, stay safe.

  8. I am sorry you have the Beast visiting you. We are having unseasonably warm weather for us this time of year....mid 30s.
    Hunker down and stay warm and cozy. xo Diana

  10. Hi Bill.

    Frost and snow can be beautiful, but also cause misery.

  13. It’s a wild beast & causing so much disruption! Best bet is to stay warm indoors!
