Crazy February Weather

We’ve been having some really crazy weather here over the past few days.  It all started Sunday over night, into Monday morning.  We got rain & lots of it.  Freezing rain to be precise.  That made for most of Southern Manitoba to shut down.    The roads were like a shiny skating rink.  I didn’t take any pictures of that, but I did take some pictures of what our yard looks like right now.

Right now, the yard is like what it usually gets in mid-late March into April.  Icy, watery, slippery, wet.  Plain icky.  Chance’s kennel is almost completely flooded with the water that fell, as well as the snow that is melting.  Did I mention that our temps are hovering just about zero?  They are, which isn’t good at all, for this time of year.  The worst part is, the temps are supposed to start dropping today & all this rain/freezing rain is supposed to turn to snow.  Oh joy of joys.  How exciting.

Here are the pictures that I took.

This was last night, looking towards the driveway; right by the house.

This is standing on the step, looking towards the garage.

A path of snow was made in my flower bed, so that we could take Chance to her kennel.

I am standing on that snow path, looking towards Chance’s kennel.  The picture is a bit dark, but you can still see all that water.

Still looking towards the kennel.  Still lots of water.

I’m standing at the edge of the path, just before it goes onto the soggy, melting snow.

Tuesday’s pictures.  The daytime.  Here you can really see all that water.

This is taken from the step, by the house, looking towards the driveway.  Still a lot of water & ice.

Looking towards the garage.  My what shiny icy water/ice there is.

Here’s Marty, trying to figure out how to get some of that water out of Chance’s kennel.  She doesn’t even want to go in there, there’s too much water.

Same shot almost, different angle….same water/ice problem.

Last, but not least another picture of Chance.  I’m thinking she’s a bit confused at why there is so much of that icy water in her kennel & outside at this time of year.

That’s all there is for now.  I’ll keep you posted on how our crazy February weather is turning out.
