That's what the TV weatherman said. He
thinks he's funny. He is. ("Funny").
Freezing rain, then sleet, then snow and
high winds.
It wasn't fit weather for a dog, so we sent Bob out to check on it.
Total silence. No sane person ventured
outdoors. Just Bob
Patio looked like a skating rink. Eva
carefully fed the birds.
This little junco was grateful.
Leo says he and Bob are migrating to
Guatemala to get away from ice and cold.
