Snow pictures

Look, we got more snow! At least 13 inches! Then the sun came out and didn't even melt any of it...wonder when we will make it out of our drive again...

 This is a picture of my front porch...pretty cool drift, huh?

This is my neighbors truck...just thought it looked cool...at least through my window...not cool enough to actually go outside and take the picture, mind you...

But the snow is probably 3 ft deep here...

My little zoom zoom...won't be zooming anywhere today, though. I love how the snow drifted around it and didn't bury it from sight, like it almost did to my neighbors truck...

This is the view from my front porch...can you see the snow hanging off the neighbors house? As the day went on the snow on their roof got droopier and fell off in huge piles in places. That was cool. I wanted to get some close-ups of the evergreen in the top right hand corner...but I didn't want them bad enough to go out into the cold cold snow! You know how some things are prettier from a distance? Snows like that, so is my, oh nevermind...hope everyone who is getting some snow is enjoying it!

Weenie Dawg gets ready for the Blizzard!

Weenie Dawg got a new sweater today! Well, we are supposed to get a looooooooot of snow tonight and tomorrow so he has to stay warm, right? ;)

 He was cold from helping me bring in the shopping bags so he went to the vent...he goes to it everytime he hears the heater come on! Poor thing is so cold all winter long, but I think the new sweater is going to help. Next are a few pictures of the new snow as it is falling...not very good pictures but its coming down pretty hard and the sun has already set so by the time it comes up again, and I "wake" up, there should be a really spectacular covering...

This is after only an hour! The other snow had melted, except in the bigger drifts, so there is already a really good covering from only an hours worth...maybe we actually will get that 8-10 inches, huh?

P.S. The excitement wore him out!

I gotta cover him up now so he stays nice and cozy...

Snow Drifts!

Took a few more snow pictures, once the wind stopped blowing so much...

These snow drifts in front of my home peak at around 2.5 ft high...but they aren't the highest around!

The scene when I open my back door...just have a screen to let the fresh air in so the snow came in too!
Weenie Dawg looks at this and heads for the hills...and I'm not making him go out because...

 This is what awaits him at the bottom of the stairs and it's deeper than he is tall so I just can't make him do it.

Maybe I should try to throw him out past the drifts? But then he wouldn't be able to get back in! We're eager to dive into these drifts but with the wind chill it's still -4...and that's just too stinking cold!

We're havin a Blizzard, a beautiful blizzard!

You have to sing the title to the tune of We're Havin a Heat Wave...try it, it's fun! I have to try to keep up with my dear woodsy friend, although she was up at the crack of dawn, went outside and got several pictures whilst I slept under warm covers...and I took my photos through my window!!! But I did crack the back to door to snap one quick pic...while the Weenie Dawg ran away in fear that I was going to make him go outside to do his business! I guess he's planning on holding it for awhile...anyways, here you go...SNOW!!!

 Because the wind is so strong the snow is only deep in drifts but at times the wind is blowing so hard and the snow is falling heavier so that you can barely see that truck in the picture and its only about 50 feet away!

Cracked my back screen door open for this and in came the snow! But it's pretty calm at the moment so I thought I would take the chance to get some photos for those of you who aren't getting any of this lovely snow. I'll get some better ones later, hopefully, when the wind dies down some or the coverage gets thicker...we are supposed to have snow/blizzard conditions until 6 pm this evening so it should get deeper. Our current wind chill is -16...It doesn't bother me, though...I just stay inside! And so does the Weenie Dawg! He is currently snuggled in his bed by my desk and I covered him up with his blanky. How about you guys? Do you love or hate the snow as adults or does the little kid in you come out to play and build snow forts? How about getting ready for it? Are you a big on pre-storm prep or just take it as it comes? We're generally ready for just about anything...as long as I have my caffeine in the house, right?! : )

Here's your snow!

In case you aren't getting any snow here are some pictures of ours:

 My backyard view...pretty standard, huh? But the snow looks lovely!

 My front porch with it's dusting of snow...

 My frontyard view...we don't have anyone next door right now so our front yard is bigger than ever. That little tree moved with us from our old home and the poor birdies have a feeder but it's empty!

This is Weenie Dawg getting up the nerve to jump in! He has to be pushed out the door when it's this cold out. He does his business and runs right back in...and finds an air vent to huddle on! I should have put his little sweater on him, huh? Hope you guys who aren't getting much snow can enjoy it from "afar".
