Toronto or Texas? Seriously, I was unsure where I woke up this morning. It was a snow-blanketed winter wonderland outside our bedroom window.
It all started yesterday with the crazy low temps that ushered in sleet and then snow by late evening, and just kept a comin'.
This was definitely one for the record books. And we may get another dose of it later this week, though not as severe. I don't know that our older dog Ollie remembers his experiences with snow in England. However, the lack of familiarity with the white fluffy stuff didn't deter either he or Pepper this morning when they made their first foray from the garage into the backyard. They were both lowriders with the accumulation we had, their underbellies dragged through it so that they tended to bound around as they hunted for a place to potty.
Praise God, our electricity only flickered off for a couple minutes last night. But then it came back on about the time we located our flashlights and lit a few candles. So we've been blessed. Our only snafu here is that we have those tankless hot water heaters. The one in the garage that serves the master bedroom wing, family and utility rooms is located in our garage, so it's fine. However, the one mounted on the outside of the house that provides water to the kitchen and other two bathrooms is frozen. So there's only a slow trickle in those places. That means I'm just washing dishes in the deep laundry room sink until our temps rebound in a few days.
