Well, at least I was home and didn’t have to worry about going to work this morning since it’s spring break. The storm started with thundershowers early Sunday morning.
Rain on the Morton building windows; and we accidentally penned another sparrow in there.
At least it was easy for me to walk to the Morton building to check Daisy.
the sidewalk was just wet with rain
That is a good thing since we’re now on around the clock checks.

Mid-morning, we got a break, and I used that time to add another pen in the Morton building and put Antigone in. She was already the only goat not in the barn, and it was just easier to do it before we were in true blizzard conditions.

I also used that time to cover the rhubarb and the daffodils and tulips. Hopefully, this will protect them enough to keep them from being completely killed.

Then I waited. The winds did pick up again. The dog was in and out a couple of times.

Finally, late in the afternoon, the snow and wind and cold did arrive. It began with some sleet about 2:00.

It didn’t take long for it to pick up and reduce visibility.

I think the robins regret being here right now.

The snow and wind continued late into the night.

We were still under a blizzard warning into Monday morning because of the continued winds.
Pretty much most of the state’s roads were shut down. It was pretty bad.
