Messy Meow Monday

North Texas is covered in one big sheet of ice.  On Sunday, we picked up about 3/4" of rain, which was great.  Overnight into Monday morning, we picked up about 1/2" of sleet, which is not so nice.  All the roads are frozen solid, even though the Texas Department of Transportation pre-treated the roads with a brine mixture and have been applying sand.  Today's temperatures are not expected to get out of the 20s.  I know for many of you, this might be considered warm, but for us, this is COLD!!  Also, driving on ice is impossible while driving on snow is manageable.  Truth be told, I'd rather it had snowed.

Enough of the "messy" part. Onto the "meow" part.  The kitties are taking the cold weather in stride.

Emmie's enjoying life on the top of the cat tree...in the path of the heating vent.

Daisy wonders what all that white stuff is on the roads.

Hannah's snug in her bed.

Tumbles found the pet bed warmer in the comforter and is snoozing the day away.

Have a terrific Monday wherever you are!  Head on over to my food blog for a new recipe! 

More Ice Storm Pics (part 2)

Here's a few more pics from our big ice event. (I'm laughing at that!)

Frozen rain gauge. When it melted, we ended up with about 1/2" of the wet stuff.

This is how Callie spent her morning inside with me. I put an old toilet lid cover on the wooden stool by my computer and she's adopted it as her spot when I'm on the computer in the mornings. I love this cat!!
