Blizzard!

We have been under a blizzard advisery. The winds have been terrific. Snow has been falling and whiting out the roads and area around us. The waves have been breaking up the ice ridges and pieces 4 to 5 ft. tall and 15 to 20 ft. long have been pounded by large waves crashing into them. The temperatures have stayed in the single digits all day. Last night I woke up to thunder and the lightning lit up the sky with a blue and pink light because of all the snow in the air. It was a sight to see. The birds flocked to the feeders trying to hold their ground in the fierce winds. A tiny vole trying to gather some seeds from the ground was sent end over end by a gust of wind and scurried back to the safety of the woods. We lost power but it was not long and we had it back. The men who work outside in this weather should be congradulated--it is not easy. The snow is still falling but the winds have died down. We will see what tomarrow brings. Have a good night!
