Snow, Cold and Windy

While putting my laundry in the washer this morning, I took a look outside from the back door and noticed that we're still getting snow showers.

The snow had been falling overnight and there's about a quarter inch of it on the ground. Yesterday's snow that fell during the night and early morning disappeared by noon. But more came later. 

At least we're not in the Denver area which, I read, has been getting a lot of snow this weekend. 

Right now, besides snow showers, we're under a High Wind Advisory. That's what kept me indoors yesterday. The cold winds go right through you.
