Nor'easter

Mouse steps out of a hay-bale house into a dark, mid-morning nor'easter blowing sleet in her face at better than 20 mph. We got about 1/4 inch of ice on top of two inches of sleet and gusts to 45 mph so far. The real weather is happening well to the north of us, though ice is bringing down electrical lines around here.

 

Notably, Mouse and Fidget took shelter today for the first time since they came to live with us. Before today they preferred sleeping out on the snow and ice.

 

Pyrs, working lines in particular, thrive in this kind of weather. They're at full frisk today with no shivering or paw problems.

 

There's a pullback shot HERE
