The freezing mist finally turned to snow last night, about the same time the electricity went out. I had gone to check on the horses and when I came back, I thought it looked a little dark at the house. We waited an hour, had a glass of wine by lantern light, and finally cranked up the generator. You got to love a generator! About 3 hours later, the power came back, but it flickered on and off all night. This morning is bitterly cold and windy. While feeding horses this morning, I was completely covered except for my eyes (need to find my ski goggles) and had trouble just standing on the ice. The horses were all fine, wearing a blanket of snow on their backs, and happy to see me. K-State is closed again today, in the 15 years that I've been here, I've only known them to close the university once, so this is a big deal, 2 days in a row! And I'm not going to work again. Made oatmeal raisin cookies yesterday, considering bread or a cake today...
