I was swallowed up by the Kracken! After my last posting, I took off to the stables to clean and set out the PM feed in the stall/run for my horse at 7AM, sunny and warm (+32F) I was just finishing up the run when the air shifted a bit 7:15am so I hurried to dump the wheelbarrow on the compost pile. I then was gathering and storing the equipment when the breeze sniffed by at 7:20am.
I was closing the gate 7:25am and I saw the grey wall rounding the aspens and heading towards me over the arena with its long swirling tentacles rushing at me. I had time to say,
" That is freaking cool looking!" when I was hit by a wall of wind and blinding snow and I drove home in whiteout conditions, 7:30am. IT WAS AWESOME!
Needless to say, my power and internet are now back on from today's adventures and school got canceled up here in the hills too.
