Meezer Christmas Memories

This was the day when the Christmas tree was set-up. Nearly an all-day venture. Always helpful were Dino and Pebbles. They mostly supervised the task, but at times were paws on.

After the tree was finally decorated, Dino and Pebbles enjoyed the handiwork … and whap a few low-hanging lights and ornaments.

“What?”

Meezer Wednesday: Shiver Me Timbers

“Arrrrrgh! Shiver me timbers! It’s a mighty cold out there. Not fit for cats, nor their staff!”

Iced-over patio windows.

The iced-over patio windows bear witness that last night was very cold. For most of the night, our thermometer read -8° F (-22° C). The official low temperature, at the airport, was -14° F (-25° C). Plenty cold, regardless.

Today, under sunny skies, we reached a balmy 15° F (-9° C) at mid-afternoon. Not warm enough to melt anything, but nice enough to warm the furs with direct sunlight.

This evening will be another shivery night. Tomorrow, sunny and slightly warmer (low 20s). The slow warm-up has begun.

Deep Freeze: Day Seven

“Brrrrr …” continues to be our watch word.

More winter white.

To much of our relief, the additional 2-4 inches of snow, accompanied by blizzard conditions, did not materialize. At most, we received an additional 1-2 inches of snow with light winds. 

By mid-afternoon (3:00 pm MST), sunny skies made a long-awaited return. If there is a downside to the improving conditions, our temperatures are expected to be very cold overnight, near -7°F (-22°C).

A slow thaw-out is expected to begin tomorrow under sunny skies. Though it’ll be a tad warmer, it will still be another deep freeze day. But, with warm sunshine on our furs.

First Monday

“Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping at your …”

Nipping at what?

Deep Freeze – Day Six

No sparrows this morning.

It’s been a very cold day with intermittent light snow. An occasional patch of blue sky here and there, lasting for a few minutes before the clouds fill in again.

Later this evening, the snowfall is expected to increase. Another 2-4 inches of snow is forecasted, with blizzard conditions. The mountains, however, is expected to have worse conditions … two feet in the northern and central mountains, and 3-5 feet in the San Juan and Sangre De Cristo ranges. The real worry in the forecast … freezing rain before the snow.

This deep freeze stuff is getting to be old. 

We are ready for our warm-up.
