In a first, my company allowed everyone to work at home because of the huge snowstorm. So far at 9:31 there's about 5 or so inches on the ground. I have yet to set foot in a grocery store but the rumor is there isn't a vegetable or piece of fruit in miles.
I walked Bailey around 7 and the field near my place was amazing. Obviously it's typically dark at that hour but it was so bright with the snow - just like daylight. All the light from the surrounding area was lighting up the entire field. It was great. She loves running around in the snow - and I do mean running around... in circles. She's a herder - so that's what she's bred for.
I've had Bailey about a year and walking her in the snow has become one of my favorite things. I get up hideously early during the week and it's so peaceful in the morning after a fresh snowfall - just the two of us. It's so beautiful - the snow covering the branches of the trees and the streetlights casting a yellow glow on everything.
One thing I am not so grateful for right now is the cold... my heat pump hasn't been pulling it's share of the load for a while now. I sit here on the couch fully clothed, under a blanket with a space heater running and my feet are cold as ice, my nose is cold and my hands are chilly... yeah... I'm cold. I called the home warranty company last night but haven't been able to get them out here... and it will be a while before I do.
