Finally got our first wintry precipitation for the 2012/2013 season, in the form of sleet yesterday. It was a shorter burst than anticipated, which was probably a good thing. When I drove out to do some dog-walking mid-afternoon there were already roll-overs, the black ice was amazing. Thank goodness for our sturdy little old '95 Nissan 4 wheel drive truck! Back here everyone coped with the storm in their particular ways. Willow and the GGs seemed unperturbed, and Stacy thought it might be the day to debut her "goat riding a horse" act:

Stacy: Hannah, quick, give me a leg up!
There were lines at the bird feeders like I haven't seen since the gas shortages of the seventies. Birds came to fisticuffs (wingicuffs?) and the odd feathers flew.

The big dogs could be found either in the carport in their snug little heated corner,
or inticing someone to go for a walk. (sorry about the blurriness).

The Iggies were both double-blanketed in spite of having their heat-lamps to broil under, on the couches, Buglet looked like a tick--nothing but eyes and legs, but she wouldn't give up her favorite spider.

Pepper and Mimi just broiled under the heat-lamps like sausages at a convenience store.
