A good day to stay home

I’d rather stay home for the rest of the week, too, but if there was a day for it, it’s today.

As I write this, we are at -9C/16F, but the wind chill puts us at -21C/-6F. I’m not sure what it was when I headed out this morning, to do the rounds. My daughter was going to do it, but when I saw her using a cane this morning, I just went ahead and did it!

It was still dark when I started, but the sun was up well before I was done. I also got to see this little puff ball.

Not a good picture, but I had to zoom in in the half light to get it. Little mustache baby will not let us come any closer.

I want to snuggle that face!!!

His fluffiness is very much like Patience, even though he’s still about half the size.

I think he’s a he. I’m not 100% sure, though. Too much fluff.

Another good thing about getting outside as early as I did is that it was in between snowfalls. Not long after I got back inside, it started blowing snow and visibility dropped quite a bit. As I write this, is has been calm for a little while, but the snow is supposed to start up again basically now, according to the weather maps.

The temperature, however, is expected to increase. By 9pm, we’re expected to hit -3C/27F before it starts to drop to a low of -16C/3F by 8am tomorrow morning. We’re expecting another bit of snow at around 6am.

For my daughter’s appointment tomorrow, we need to be on the road by 7:45am at the latest. I want to make sure to give us extra time in case the road conditions are not good.

The day after is also supposed to be older, with temperatures of -18C/0F expected right when we need to be catching a couple of ladies into carriers before feeding time, and taking them in for spays. Hopefully, road conditions will be good for that, too.

From then, it’s supposed to warm up again. We’re now supposed to be getting 3C/37F by Friday.

This month is going to be all over the place, temperature wise!

I’m good with that. Especially the warmer temperatures. We have a lot of small kitties this year, so the milder things are, the easier it will be for those tiny bodies to keep warm.

Yeah. I’m a suck for the cats.

As for today, I’m content with another hibernation day.

  1. The weather is all over the place here also, and not much warmer than up there the last few days. Be careful out on those early morning roads.

    As for the kitties, you built them shelters and opened up the sun room. Not much more you can do. 😐

    • Yeah, it’s that early morning ice that concerns me the most! But we’ve got good tires, and I try to be careful.

      We do what we can for the kitties. I just wish we could do more! Like get them ALL fixed before spring! πŸ˜„

      When we win the lottery, there will be signs… πŸ˜‰
