Snowmageddon is Upon Us
Thursday, February 4, 2010 at 11:29PM Here in the DC area, we only get a couple of snowfalls each winter. Traditionally, people freak out at the slightest chance of flurries, rushing to the grocery store to stock up on milk, bread, and toilet paper. Rarely do we get enough snow to actually keep people in the home — but doggone it, they mean to be prepared!
I grew up in Wisconsin, where they don’t close schools unless there’s at least a foot of snow. In other words, I sneer at the DC lightweights.
But this weekend will be the real deal. We’ve got 2-3 inches at the moment, but overnight the fall may hit 2-3 inches per hour. So we’re hunkered down for the next few days, except for regular Sheltie-walking forays.
We get a bit tired of suiting up like an Arctic explorer every few hours, but there are few things cuter than a Sheltie in the snow. Picture pure, unadulterated, leaping, grinning canine joy, plus this face:
Are you also snowed in this weekend? How do you plan to spend the time?

My husband is so mad that NY is JUST missing the snowstorm! He's been chatting with his friends down in DC/MD all night last night and they keep taunting him with pictures. Have fun in the snow and hope you guys stay warm and dry!
Awwww! I miss Iowa snow days SO much. We didn't get any snow at all this year, but last year we got a freak February snow storm, so maybe there's still a chance!
I was going to say that you ladies aren't missing much, but actually it HAS been quite a bit of fun! Of course, I can say that because Mr T does 90% of the dog walking ... not so much fun when it's cold and wet at 3 a.m. We took a ton of photos, so hopefully I'll post a few tomorrow.
That second picture made me laugh! I just caught up on you blog (as you know I'm hideously behind on my reader) and I have to say - I LOVE that New Years picture of your daughter. Adorable.
