Most snow we've had in 14 years - since the Blizzard of '93. Mind you this is not even close to as bad as that. That blizzard was followed by temps in the low teens, had five foot drifts, and many were without power for more than a week. This one had some power outages, but not too bad, and people are already out and about. The important news is, of course, that my chicklets are all home now.

In less than an hour himself will load the Jeep with harp, cello, fiddle, and concertina and D3 will be transported downtown for her sold out (two show) day of performance. The downside is, due to weather, there have been no rehearsals with the dancers and one of the headliners is still trying to drive down from Baltimore - but the show must go on right? Baring trouble with black ice, she should make it thanks to her Jeep chariot and chauffeur.

Some photos for your enjoyment.

The bounty...


Princess Fiona on her thone - she is loving the fun.


D2 playing with the dogs, she is having as much fun as they. Chapel Hill got almost nothing in the way of snow before she left to come home. D3 can't be bothered with playing in the snow at home as she goes to Appalachian State which is in Boone (way north west NC, high in the mountains) so snow is no biggy for her anymore.


This is the grand dog - Isabelle, Izzy - she is a very timid girl, but she has discovered that she loves snow too. Especially that not quite frozen all the way through pool. She keeps jumping in and digging at it.








Merry Christmas some more :)
