Our first real snow storm of the season PHOTO HEAVY

Even though Winter hadn't officially started, we got hit with a good size snow storm, about 17 inches in total.

We had a Nor’easter overnight Saturday into Sunday. It was not the Blizzard it had been the storm weakened. Still, we got plenty of snow, and nice drifts too. It didn’t start till almost 10 PM on Saturday, so we went to bed with nothing changed.

The snow blew up against the front of the house, so the windows were quite pretty when we woke up Sunday morning.

“Marlin, do you want to go outside and see?”

From inside the garage, view out the back door

I stepped back so you can see how the snow piled up against the door at the bottom

Next I stepped outside so you can see the lovely high drift in the back yard, and grass near the house.

It’s deep! Gave my snow thrower a challenge, to get moving initially.

The front door – have to use a shovel to clear that. You can see the hand rail, lower right.

Once I finished with the clearing, the pups were allowed out. Sugar and Lacey were not interested, they saw enough in their business trip to the back yard. Marlin came out.

More photos on the way!

Tasha wanted to play! She was barking at me, bouncing up and down on her front feet, ha haa. “Ready for lift off!”

It was SO EASY to clear the new driveway! No dips and valleys to get stuck in, to have to shovel out afterwards.

About 3 weeks back, I put the bird feeders out in the back yard. I discovered yet another Tasha quirk: she likes to EAT bird seed! She didn’t let the snow stop her, either. We returned to the back yard and she stuck her whole head in to eat, snow, seeds, didn’t matter. Silly pup! I kept trying to get a shot of her snow covered face!

That’s all!

That is a lot of snow!!! Lol I can't wait for my pups to get to play in it... but I hate to drive in it. Lol Looks like your little ones had fun. I love watching them dig to get to something underneath the snow. Lol

That IS a lot of snow! But the new driveway looks like it cleared so easily :)

Marlin and Tasha, I'm glad you had fun in the snow! :D

Wow!:eek: That's too much snow! I like snow but our few inches is enough! :D

:eek: WoW thats Alot of Snow.. All is so Pretty.. Girl now dont be greedy & please get some blowing to Texas my way ok..

That is a LOT of snow! :eek: If only you could see the chaos that a couple of inches of snow had caused in Britain! we are such saps, lol

Holy crap that's a lot of snow! Can I come visit? Just for an afternoon, make a snow man and snow angel... I won't even bother you for dinner! I'll go back to Florida for the evening! I couldn't imagine waking up and having my feet have to touch the wood floors after a chilly evening like that!

LOL, Love the pics! The tiny white pups in the snow..ah I miss that with Sassy. It was adorable. She went out in the snow once and was never allowed again because we couldn't find her. You guys got about as much as we did! It looks beautiful. I'm coming up your way in about a week or so, I hope it doesn't snow or else my parents will cancel the trip. :p

I agree! :)

He he, from all the comments, I think we have established "that is a LOT of snow!" Yes, we will have snow now through April. When it comes early and big, it stays on.

Indigo Bully Connection, you are most welcome to stay to dinner, he hee.

Alysser, you need to stop by and visit us!

Hi, fluffyfluffs! How are you? How is the weather in Rhode Island? It is just starting to snow again here in Chicago but we are just supposed to get a coating to an inch tonight, and maybe another inch or 2 tomorrow.

That's quite a snowstorm!!! But.....I don't envy you....all I see is the melt off and the mud afterwards!!! LOL

Everyone has snow BUT Mister and I:confused::eek:
And we live in the place that normally is numbed.. But no worries we are supposed to get some tomarrow. Mister in the snow are funny photos:p
Seeing how he is only 4 inches tall if that.....
