Luckily, the streets were easily managed for the taxi drivers.

Bertie spends as much time in the house as he wants. He spent the afternoon in front of the hot wood stove today, for example, while Callie stayed upstairs with me.<br /><br />Bert's real home is still down in the garage, where he has his bed, his bowl of kibble, his litter box (which he seldom uses), and his always-open window for easy entry and exit. He is free to wander. When it's cold in the garage at night, he can retreat into the warmer utility room, where he also has a bed.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-78813724714326468332013-01-21T17:25:29.834+01:002013-01-21T17:25:29.834+01:00Ahhhhh, thanks for the photos :)) Stay safe and wa...Ahhhhh, thanks for the photos :)) Stay safe and warm and well-fed :) I guess Bertie and Callie are putting up with each other inside the house?Seine Judeet (Judith)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07407353544376132484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-64598933394899923382013-01-21T15:28:11.280+01:002013-01-21T15:28:11.280+01:00Ken, the driving rain stopped.... so I went into t...Ken, the driving rain stopped.... so I went into the meadow to fill the "field" feeder with tournesol seed... cabin fever very rapidly cured!!<br /><br />It is 7.9 centipedes here... but with the wind chill I reckon minus that!!Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439261142732764451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-11615813719959358052013-01-21T15:09:22.434+01:002013-01-21T15:09:22.434+01:00Ken

It snowed on Saturday and it was supposed to be +1 C with rain yesterday but at 3 AM it started howling and the rain turned into sleet . That was our story yesterday: sleet, snow, rain , sleet again ... you get the picture. <br /><br />This morning crunchy crunchy everywhere and the temperature minus 19C. When the heat pump stops ( cut off temp - 15C) and the furnace does all the work , we know it is COLD outside :-)<br /><br />Good idea to stay inside when it is slippery. Enjoy your soup.<br /><br />The Beaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11457136925020206640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-43150901862700434672013-01-21T14:28:21.978+01:002013-01-21T14:28:21.978+01:00That new insulation you put in upstairs is paying ...That new insulation you put in upstairs is paying off. The snow is staying on the roof, not melting from the heat lost through it when there was no insulation.<br /><br />Enjoy your chicken soup, I'm making chicken curry today because it's chilly here, only about 65ยบ.BettyAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04888034865376007425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-24956524457747997962013-01-21T13:32:17.181+01:002013-01-21T13:32:17.181+01:00An article in the NYTimes

We just had a heavy snow shower, and now the wind has started blowing. I think all the slush is going to re-freeze this evening, and we don't want to be on the slippery roads after dinner tonight.<br /><br />Tim, we have a pot of chicken and rice soup steaming on the stove. The wind is blowing pretty hard, and are expecting more snow later today and this evening.

This morning, when I left for work, the main roads were snow-free though and getting here (at the office) wasn't too bad. Hope this is this winter's last snow ;). Keep warm!
