Storm Day with Mum at Home !


Julie: This was the scene yesterday. There is a BIG
storm  that started last night.
These ducks must have known as they dropped by
to stock up on seeds.


Mum and I  usually see 2 ducks.
Yesterday, they brought friends.


Since it is a BIG storm, mum is staying home!!
Can you tell that I am super happy?
Oh boy!! Belly rubs? Yes please!

This was mum's snack last night.
Storm chips?* NO!!
She had storm crackers with cheese and wine.
MOL!!!


 I am happy with my regular cat treats, though
a little bite of cheese might be OK ;)


* In our area "storm chips" are a thing.
The prefered snack when it is stormy.
It is so popular that you can actually buy   potato
chips labeled as "Storm chips"!
Works for any kind of storm, not just
snow storms ;)

Edit: This is the scene at 8AM
The wind is still blowing though the snow
has stopped falling.
Lots of snow to shovel.
At least it's light and fluffy!

  5. The biped says your mum knows how to snack, Julie! :-D

    We'd heard about the storm sweeping across NS, though it probably won't stick around long. It looks pretty when it's freshly fallen!

    Take care and stay safe and snug.

  9. The idea of storm chips is purrfect!
    I think you all are on the other side of the polar vortex that has us in very, very cold temps.
    Yes, it's winter, but I'm over it already...

  20. I've never heard of "storm chips" but I've seen photos of the grocery store shelf just before a hurricane where all the snack foods are gone! Cheese, crackers, and wine sound like a tasty storm snack.
