Our Big Boss called yesterday and told us to close all the stores for the day. I’m goofing off and getting paid...a RARITY, LOL!

18,000 in southern WI without power, but they’re working on it. I chatted with my Dad for a while this morning. He’s got power and is fine...he only lives about 2 miles away from us.

Filled the bird feeders twice so far.

Cleaned the path down to the coop for the 3rd time this morning, shoveled a path to the machine shed in case we lose power and need to use the wood stove. Husband trucked down to the road; the end of the drive has 5 feet of snow piled up from the plows. We’ll be here for a day or so. :)

The big malls here are closed, also a rarity. Sears is open, though...if you need a snow shovel or a snow blower, LOL!

Here in NW Lower Mich. the schools are closed until Friday.
However, we have seen only about 1 inch of snow with a little blowing and drifting. Typical of these storms, Wisconsin can get pounded, and on our side of The Lake we get a dusting.
We’ll see what the next day brings.
My ever-trusty plow truck is ready to rock, in any case.
