Real snow at last! **Pictures**

I'm getting crazy on pictures again, I know, but snow pictures are some of my very favorite to take and to share. We FINALLY got something other than sleet and flurries and frigid temps, it warmed up to nearly 30 and snowed! I hope these cheer you as much as they cheered me to take them on this grey winter day! Keep in mind that there is still 2-3 inches of packed sleet under the snow, it does not get above freezing very often in MN during winter :p

Sorry about the different sizes as well, I started out cropping them more but got short on time, needing to get back to work!

Tommy this morning when I put him out to potty. "Can't we go play Mom?"

"I want to play too!"

So they got their wish. I put coat and boots on and out we went for a romp!

I missed this shot for the most part but look at her face! It gets hard because my fingers get numb from the cold and have delayed reaction on the camera trigger!

Well, then we went in for a couple more hours, and it kept coming down, so after lunch, we went out for another go!

He didn't want to quite lay all the way down in the snow to chew on it.

Hope you enjoyed! Sorry so many, I have a terrible time deciding which ones to post so end up posting a lot :o

No apologies necessary!

These photos are wonderful, Jess! I'm so very jealous of all of your snow. It's in the 80's right now. :( VERY depressing.

As always, I LOVE the ones of Tasha running. It must be so fun to watch them romp in the snow. Tommy is so funny with those logs. Kiara always goes for the sticks in our yard, but she's never had the pleasure of playing with a log! (She seems to think everything else is for HER though!)


After the snow melts, does it take long for you guys to make the lawn as beautiful as it was before?

Thank you Kay :) I agree those hot temperatures in the winter would be a downer. Today was a really fun day for us, I love when it snows, but it also doesn't seem to snow much unless it gets above 20. This winter has been mostly cold and dry until now with the exception of the ice storm. Yard cleanup in the spring when the ground thaws is a mess. We mostly just have to clean up the dog messes that get buried all winter and then let the ground dry out before we do much.

Here is the forecast for tonight and tomorrow though :eek: (cut and paste from Ntl Weather Service)

... WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 12 AM UNTIL 12 PM CST THURSDAY... NORTHWEST WINDS GUSTING TO 40 MPH WILL RUSH INTO CENTRAL MINNESOTA AFTER MIDNIGHT... AND WILL REMAIN STRONG THROUGH NOON THURSDAY. ANYWHERE FROM 3 TO 8 INCHES OF FLUFFY SNOW THAT FELL TODAY WILL BE WHIPPED ABOUT BY THE WIND. WIND CHILLS WILL DROP BELOW 25 BELOW ZERO WELL AFTER MIDNIGHT AND WILL REMAIN DANGEROUSLY COLD THROUGH MIDDAY THURSDAY.

I LOVED th forst pic,, it really made me laugh!! He looked soooo upset with all the snow on him,, :D :D the rest of the shots were fantastic!!!!!!

WOW! They look like they are having a BLAST! I love the one where they are running together beside eah other, they look like they are in PERFECT synchronization! Especially with the left paw up on both of them!

Gorgeous pictures, GORGEOUS DOGS, can't wait to see more pics!
Lexi loves the snow, its so funny to watch her, she jumps up and then disappears into the snow, jumps up and disappears!

Love your dogs, you can tell they are REAL Snow Dogs, the picture of Tommy begging to play is quite adorable too! In fact all of them are!

Wonderful pictures!!!!! All that snow is BEAUTIFUL, but it made me feel even colder than I already am! LOL! Looks like Tommy and Tasha are having a blast!!! Want to sent some of that snow our way? ;)

Now when do I get my Dawn picture fix? ;) He he he

Ps. I would LOVE to see a picture of your whole backyard in the snow. If you can.

awww your doggies are gorgeous :D :D :D

wow beauitful pic's those would make good scrapbook pages

Great pictures! I love the one of them running together!

Beautiful pictures Jessica, it certainly is a winter wonderland up in this section of the state, it was snowing here today also. Predictions are for high winds, snow and frigid temperatures here tonight also, so we'll probably be snowed in tomorrow!! Your pups sure were having a good time today, that's so funny how Tommy found his log! :D Holly was tunneling through the snow here, she has a ball that she always carries around outside, well it was left outside last night in the yard, and it's buried in the snow somewhere today, so she was frantically looking for it. We probably won't see it until spring, so I'll have to go buy her another one (maybe a couple more, so we have some spares). :) :)

I love this picture :D Tommy and Tasha are beautiful!!!!!

Those are simply AWESOME pictures, especially the running shots! You're a great photographer, and both your dogs are just stunning! Thanks for sharing! We'd love to see more!!! :D

Lexi_Lover, I can just imagine how cute Lexie must look jumping up and down in the snow :D

Poppy, I got a couple pics of the back when it started snowing in the morning and took a couple today I'll post here. I'll try to get some Dawn pics soon too ;)

Puppy_Love4, I really need to get to a photo station and get some pics printed out. Everyone's scrapbooks are so nice, I need to put something together myself!

Karen, I don't know how he found that log, I turned around from watching Tasha and there he had it in his mouth, all caked with snow LOL. How many balls do you find in your yard when it thaws? :p

Thank you very much all for the compliments :)

Poppy, here are the yard pics, I can't quite fit the entire back yard in but it's the majority of it.

OMG, those are AWESOME pictures!!! You did a wonderful job and it sure looks like your pups are enjoying the snow! I LOVE this pic, as well as the couple close ups in your "last" post with pics. It's so neat how the snow's falling in the meantime! Again, great job, and share more soon!:D;)

No appologies needed! What wonderful pictures. :D

I can never get Kia to run at me... she always runs away from me! LOL!

Great pictures! Your pups are adorable as always and looks like playing in the snow was such a treat! :D

WOW! What awesome pictures, they are gorgeous!

Hehe, I just had to laugh when I seen what Tommy had dug up in the snow:D He just loooooves his log doesn't he?!

Tommy is beautiful, my Goldens LOVE the snow!

:eek: WOW :eek: Those are some great photos! Your yard looks magnifcent in the snow!!

I was shopping the other day and saw a squeeky log...I immediately thought of Tommy!! hehe What a silly boy! Tasha looks like she is having the time of her life playing in that snow! :D

what gorgeous gorgeous pics! :)
I love the one where it was snowing then the day shot.
But of course my favorites are the 'kids' ones!!

BTW I found 13 tennis balls in the yard after we had our "Blizzard" in Dec.

All i can say is W:eek:W, what gorgeous photos. I also love the ones of Tommy and Miss Tasha running, they are great. And lumberjack Tommy is so sweet, i am amazed he found one of his logs out there.

May i ask what camera you use? it takes great shots.

Thankyou so much for sharing them with us Jessica.

My goodness! You have some STUNNING doggies! :eek: I love to see pictures of your doggies. Don't apologize for posting so much...the more the better. :D I laughed when I saw Tommy with that log. I think its hilarious when he has those big ol' logs in his mouth. Too cute! Tasha looks like she LOVES to run. What a doll. Great pictures!

Wonderful pictures!! Your dogs are gorgeous!:D

Thank you so much for all the comments and compliments, we feel so honored! Tommy does indeed love that silly log :D.

Rhiannon, my camera is a Sony Cybershot, about 3 years old. :) Staci, I had to laugh picturing all the tennis balls in your yard after the snow melts :D. Tommy sends golden kisses to Keegan!

Don't you ever say sorry again! No apologies! Whenever you get crazy with pics you better make sure you post them here ;) Love your two pups.

Such great pics! They look like they really enjoy the snow. I'm a bit jealous that we haven't had any snow here for the girls to play in. Only just a little bit though becuase it looks sooooo cold...lol. Tommy is so handsome and getting to see him with one of his logs always makes me smile and Tasha looks so sleek and graceful when she is in motion.

Thanks for sharing with us. Give the Double T's a hug from me!

Robin :)

Thanks so much for pointing me towards these, Jess!

WOW! They look like they're having a blast. What happy dogs!! I think these are some of my favorites of your pups.

I just LOVE this one of Tommy:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...2tommylog3.jpg

LOL silly boy. Always gotta have one of those logs with him. :p

And I really like this one of both of them..
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ashatommy2.jpg

Looks like they're both digging to China! ;) Hehe.

I just love your two (especially that Tommy boy). :D I never get tired of seeing your pics, so keep 'em coming!

Beautiful pics! :D

Tommy is such a silly boy! He always has that log with him..

I honestly can't pick a favorite because they are all great!

Awesome pics! They are both SO cute:D I can tell they love the snow, looks like they're having a blast lol. And I love your yard! It looks so beautiful with all that snow:D
