Blizzard, and not the DQ kind!

Intense. That's all I can say about today's weather. I suspect that the further we head in to winter the more my blogs may focus on weather related topics. Today, tomorrow and quite possibly Monday are supposed to be blizzard-like conditions. The winds are crazy fierce and it either pushes you along when you are walking (only crazies go out in this weather...or those with demanding dogs) or throws you back if you attempt to take it on. The snow is everywhere, and yet the wind is so strong it doesn't let it accumulate on the ground, at least making vehicle traffic and pedestrian traffic easier - if you can ignore the white-out conditions. On our walk this morning Hope's already white face became even whiter and all you could see where her two little brown eyes way up ahead. Intense.

It's been a busy day unfortunately for Terry and Mike, out and about on calls. They have been at it since 1pm today and not back yet (it's 11:30 pm here). They were able to get a couple of hours off to go to the neighbour's parrrrty! To Nicole and Matt, it did not rival yours that you are having tonight and that I am missing - hope the gifts were as entertaining as always. I was worried that parties would not be the same without booze, but delicious food seems to take it's place. I'm OK with that, especially because we got in 2 hours of badminton again today. There won't be anymore badminton until the new year, everyone heads out this Friday for hometowns to celebrate the holidays. You think they would all know to stay here considering you are that much closer to Santa - hello! MORE GIFTS FASTER! :)

Hoping that tomorrow the winds calm down a big so we can go for a longer walk, but my 'hopes' aren't up that the weather will change anytime soon, when in Rome...stay indoors.

Hope everyone had a great Saturday night.
