Wintry Mix For Sure!

The weather forecasters had been predicting, since the middle of last week, that we were going to get a wintry mix in our area beginning Sunday night. Usually when they forecast snow or ice that far in advance nothing ever happens. Well, sure 'nough, they got it right this time! School was canceled, but Kristen still had to go in to work today. Thanks to Nick and his dad, Chuck, for driving her up to Griffin. She said the roads were awful and they drove 30 mph all the way. Nick and Chuck did make it back to Thomaston safely. Hmmm...wonder how she's going to get back home after her shift is over at 7:30 tonight???
Looks like snow but when you walk on it, it crunches like ice.

Iced covered snow?

A little snow with ice.
When I took the dogs out around 7:45 this morning, it was still sleeting a little and it was cold! Kami was shaking so badly that I thought she was going to break! Charkee was tip toeing through the snow and was acting like she had a sandspur in her paws. She hates getting her feet wet and cold! Then there is Kolle. She disappeared and I have no idea where she went. I took the other two in and went back out to look for her. She finally showed and smelled of cat poop! I guess she was getting an early morning snack...yuck!

Kolle should be a farm dog, then she would be able to sample all kinds of snacks!
