First Snow Day

Today was the first REAL snow day this year. And there was no mistaking it either. Everything in town screeched to a stop. The municipal office closed. Some roads were closed. The mail was not delivered. The snowplows were pulled off the road.

My chickens were snug in their hen house. They refused to come out into their covered run today (let alone the uncovered run!). There are wind gusts up to 50km per hour.

This is a great day for hot chocolate, baked beans (in the oven baking as I write this) and a good book, Christmas movie or anything else comforting to do. It isn't a day for building snow forts or skiing.
