Well, I’m happy to say that the weather forecasts for today are no longer predicting a severe drop in temperatures in only 4 hours.

We’re still going to get the extreme temperatures. It’s just going to take until about 8am tomorrow for it to happen.

Our current mild temperatures (we are at -3C/26F with a wind chill of -10C/14F as I write this) are supposed to slowly drop until about midnight, then the winds are going to hit. Locally, by tomorrow morning, we’re supposed to hit -29C (-20F), with the wind chill bringing it down to -43C (-45F).

Thank God we don’t have to go anywhere! I really feel for the people who have to work outside, or commute to the city. It’s going to be dangerous out there. :-(

It’s been warming up for the past few days, which means I had plenty of company while doing my rounds this morning. Butterscotch, as usual, wanted to be carried, while three others followed along.

Then Keith caught up to me. :-D

This is how he asks to be picked up.

First up, I just wanted to share one of the photos I managed to get yesterday evening. The two bucks I saw in the trail cam finally came by when we were there to see them, and get photos!

A pleasant surprise

Today, I will be driving my mom’s car around for the first time since it’s been repaired. When I had the chance to take a look at the tires in the sunlight, I found a pleasant surprise.

The rear brakes were replaced, and this is what it looked like before.

Oh, finally! My mom’s car is DONE!

Also, as I didn’t have to go anywhere early in the morning, it was actually daylight when I started my rounds, and I could get some photos. I always start with bringing fresh water to the cats, and topping up their food bowls.

Beep Beep was, of course, just sssstttttaaaarrrrvvviiinnnngggg…. :-D

The last couple of days have been… trying.

But also beautiful.

We warmed up enough for the trees to be covered in frost that is still there. Then we got a gentle snowfall. Today was bright and sunny, the trees looked like picture postcards, and everything was sparkling.
