Snow!!!!

[Karen]

The snow has not yet started, but the juncos have been busy eating up any seed left before the storm comes!

[Karen]

The snow has commenced
Traffic, therefore is stopped, red
Taillights everywhere

I am thankful and
Take the long way around the
Snow hushed reservoir

Inside the warm car
I watch as sky and ice blend
Into pale silence

So I move from the 'how cold is it' thread to the 'snow' thread. Warming up to a blissful 20*F so now bring on the snow! Up to 6" before it's over. So far it's dry snow and I have snow broomed my drive clear first thing when I took the pups out. Jake enjoyed playing ball first thing in the snow. Better than yesterday morning when I had to grab him and carry him in the house due to his back feet freezing up.

Here in Cabot, Pa there is about 4" of this white stuff on the ground and it's still snowing.

Snow again - it actually was above freezing today, in the afternoon, but after the sun set the temperature dropped, and we now have "tracking snow" - what forecasters call "a dusting."

That is happening to Smokey quite a lot lately. It bothers him a lot more than Maggie. She doesn't seem to mind the cold/snow on her feet. I have to wait
at the door & be ready to let Smokey back in before his feet freeze up. I guess it's the wind chill factor that makes this season feel colder.

I'd get Smokey some booties if I though he'd wear them. Have you ever seen a dog try boots for the first time?

My RB Lacey was really bad for freezing feet! At least I can carry Jake if I have to! He weighs 38#. I believe it was -4* that morning.

As for snow, we have at least six inches on the ground. Seems to have stopped for now.

Winter storm Maximus is supposed to bring us up to 6 inches of snow by Sunday night. I am tired of winter!

Maximus left us with 4 inches of fresh snow today. It is not supposed to snow tomorrow or Monday, but Tuesday night into Wednesday we could get anywhere between 4 and 8 inches more.
