The Arrival

Greetings most humans and many others,

Well, the blizzard slammed into us in the wee hours of the morning, as predicted. We got 12 inches of snow right here, and east of here they got up to 20 inches. The punishing winds with the thundersnow and the especially cold temperatures all add up to a humdinger of a storm.

It has not been bothersome for me, particularly since I don't go out with Missy Linda in bad weather. It didn't even bother Missy Linda because her boss called early this morning to say that the store would be closed today. She was glad he decided because that way she didn't have to call the district manager to say she wasn't going to open the store. The boss said he made his decision when he went out to his driveway, and he couldn't see the house across the street.

It doesn't seem to bother Missy Linda and Tio Kane to be locked in the house for a few days or even a lot of days. They are all stocked up on pop and milk and the other essentials to last a while- - -most importantly dog and cat food. Mr. Nelson does not like the extreme temps, but he does enjoy the snow. When it gets a little warmer in a few days, he will be able to play outside longer than two minutes at a time at five minute intervals!

I'll keep you updated.
