Blizzard Warning

I hopped on the computer this morning about 9:00am and there was just one or two snowflakes in the air. When I went out to do morning chores (a little late), it was snowing like crazy! No one was thrilled with the weather. While on the computer I found out they upgraded the storm to a blizzard.

So that ended any chance of me getting to go to the horse sale. Probably better that way anyway. I shouldn't be bringing any more home until I have the two younger ones trained. But I'm still really bummed about not going. The more informed I am, the better. Really bummed.

After feeding everyone, I got the barns and boxstalls ready for tonight. I figure everyone is going to be wet and cranky so it's best I just put them in the barn and let them dry off. I'd rather they don't weather the storm outside.

The snow that fell this morning is wet, really wet. The ground is warm enough that it's not really accumulating but it's still enough to get a horse's back soggy wet. I'm not sure what the temps are going to be like, but what's the point of having a barn and box stalls if I can't use them. And the winds are terrible. When it was snowing, it was horizontal, like normal but still.

So everything is ready and waiting. The blizzard isn't supposed to go into effect until 4:00pm so I could have made it to the sale. But the weather is so iffy, I'd rather not risk getting stuck somewhere between the sale barn and home. And to top it off, Kramers is having a sale too but I don't think I want to risk it either. It's only about a half hour away but if this storm comes blowing in, I don't want to be on the roads. Call me paranoid, I'm fine with that.

Now we wait. There's so much to do but knowing that the weather is going to turn worse, I can't seem to get motivated. Am I weird?

I did put Bob's blanket on so that he wouldn't get wet. He wasn't too thrilled with being left outside in the snow. He decided after about a half hour of standing in the snow, to go stand in the leanto and pout. Hopefully he wont' get too depressed. Chaos doesn't help any. The weather simply needs to get better so I can ride Chaos and leave Bob out in the nice lush pasture.

I'll post more pics later. Figured I'd do a little venting about this darn weather. I could be at the sale barn right now if it wasn't for this darn weather. Go away snow!
