Winter Storm . . . HA!

So the Northeast had a major storm, huh?

Below is what was outside of our house this morning.

Probably no more than 6 inches, at that.

What a Bummer!

Indy's prints
 from her first "potty" of the day.

"Action Alley" isn't too  bad.
Normally
this acts as a wind tunnel
and it drifts horribly.

The "Road Warriors"
on their first run of the day.

The trees
do look pretty this morning.

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow

Finally, Ivory Snow "Flakes"

We were supposed to get 6 - 12 inches of snow

beginning Thursday morning

and ending

Friday afternoon.

I could have

SNEEZED

and gotten more coverage

from snot.

(I know . . .TMI . . but it's true!)

 

Then, yesterday,

which was Friday,

we actually got, what I would call,

Ivory Snow Flakes.

I always wondered,

as a child,

why Ivory Snow was called Ivory Snow.

Once in a while,

in Indiana,

we would have flakes of snow

that looked like Ivory Snow flakes,

but not very often.

Still,

why was the bar named Ivory Snow?

Color, maybe?

Since I have been

in Western New York,
we have had a LOT of snowfalls

that look like

someone opened a box of Ivory Snow Flakes

and just started pouring them out.

 

These are pretty snows.

I have tried multiple times

to get good pictures of this snow.

 

I think that I accomplished it yesterday
.This is the scene out of our back door.

As you can tell,

we had a little snowblowing done.

The boy who does it

doesn't have the strongest snowblower

so this was as far as he got.

Since we don't use the garage yet,

still packed with s_ _ _

after 3 years ! ! ! ! !

 

Then, a quick glance

to the back yard.

This is the kind of snow that
Indy LOVES to run in.

I called her out,

got a video of her "carening"

around the yard

at her medium speed.

I would swear

if a dog could smile,

she would have been smiling, now,

from ear to ear.

(If you look close enough

you can almost see the smile.)

Today,

we are still getting these

soft,

ligh,

puffy

flakes of snow.

The weatherman say

1-2 inches this afternoon,

the same this evening

and tomorrow morning.

So, we'll sede what happens.

No matter how much we get,

Indy is in

hog heaven

running around her

snowy race track.

Mother of a REAL Snow Dog

(guess daddy's Akita genes are pretty strong in her)
