Also about the very frigid cold air, approaching for the days ahead, including -20 to -40 windchills. we're in a deep freeze. we've been checking in on family and friends, making sure they are ok, and safe. There's been blizzard conditions. we've been monitoring the storm updats this week, as they mentioned the storm has power of a hurricane.

Lisa called domino's, they are remaining closed, Lisa and my dad home with us :) We're all keeping warm, and doing our best today, with this major winterstorm. lots of hot teas, soups, and keeping warm, and safe :)


This morning, with the new day rising and shining, i heard the winds picking up, and knew the storm was beginning to arrive. i'm wearing triple layers today, i got a big bowl of goodies, for our nature friends, and went outside. it was still a bit dark, and our sky, looked stormy. i heard a crackling of 2 tree branches, as the winds were picking up. i put lots of goodies in the bird sanctuary area of our yard, so that our nature friends could gather some goodies, before it began to get more stormy. i came indoors, and i made a nice hot tea with peppermint candy. the winds began to pick up, as the early morning was going on. WTNH, WFSB, weather channel on our tvs, keeping updated on the storm. We had a big windgust around 7:45am, it sounded very strong and fierce wind. our sky remained darkish color, almost like how it looks like, right before the sun rises up. i have my window blind open, and could see the trees branches blowing, and the wind howling. our govenor came on the news around 8am, to address the state. my family and i have been hanging out in our living room :) our pets are keeping warm :) We've been checking in on family, friends, and checking the news. we saw about some emergencies, rescues, and flooding going on in some areas, including Massachusetts coast.


STORM UPATES. INTO THE STORM! around 8:45am, they posted a BLIZZARD Warning here in New London, County here in Southeastern, CT. i went outside around 8:35am, to check in on the storm, and to make a video. i saw some birds in our backyard, gathering goodies :) i was making a video of the winterstorm, and was getting ready to walk around the side of our yard, to walk out front,and i heard it, THUNDER SNOW!!! it was off into the distance, it's very wild, and scary at the same time!!! i decided to walk closer over to our backdoor, and then back into our front yard. the heavy bands of snow were beginning to arrive in our area. that thunder snow was absolutely wild!!! the snow is falling so heavily!the visibility is bad, due to the snow and winds. here's links to the video i made of the winterstorm/blizzard today :)

Hi Chris Glad you and your family are keeping warm and safe.We have at least 9 or 10 inches of snow or more outside my door still windy and cold. I'm sure our schools and other places will be closed tomorrow as well. It will take a couple of days to dig out from all this snow.Your photos are wild It looked pretty much the same outside here.Perhaps a little worse. I think it will end or slow down to snow showers here around 8pm.Hope it all goes by and begins to melt by next week.Thanks for all my nice hugs today Have a warm and safe evening. Hugs to all-Stephanie

That looks pretty wild! Are rooves there reinforced to take the weight of the snow? Sorry if that’s a dumb question! We’re about as far from snow as you can get, with a heat wave forecast for the weekend! I just too Misty to the vet to get a belly shave so she’s a bit cooler in this heat. I’m not sure she likes her new haircut. Stay safe and warm xx

Precious Chris and family, Thank you so much for sharing your pictures and videos of the snow blizzard. I'm so happy to hear that you are all staying warm and safe during this horrific storm. I didn't see any traffic on the street, so it looks like most people are staying home. Love and blessings, P.T.

Hi Chris So glad that all is well and you got through the winter storm. We have been watching pictures of it all day. We are actually getting a storm as well right now. WE are getting the snow bands off Lake Erie. They don't often come this far south but with the arctic air mass and the flow of the jet stream, we are getting snow as well. The wind chill in the morning is supposed to be around 25 degrees below zero. I hope my car starts. Like you, we are staying indoors and staying warm. Mya and Abby and Allie are all in the house and only go outside to go the bathroom and then are back in the house immediately. It is just to cold for them to be outside. Thanks so much for sharing your pictures and making the videos. Nothing like a first hand account of what is happening. Take care and stay safe. Love you--John Debbie Mya Abby and Allie
