We had some snow

[jesse_the_k]

The warnings were dire, but so far we've only had 4-5 inches on the ground. The snow is very heavy and wet and it's barely freezing. That's good news on the street, where it rapidly melts. It's sad news in the backyard, where thick snow brought down three branches on our oldest pine tree, which blocked the street behind our house. Thank heavens for neighbors with chainsaws.

Earlier in the day, MyGuy and Bella went exploring on the bike path. It's a tunnel of white: snow covers the path itself, all the vegetation on the sides, and weighs down the branches of the trees and bushes. Since our black mutt Bella is certain there's something exciting just ahead, her leash is stretching forward into the future.

That's a lovely photo!

We had eight inches, and apparently there's another 10 coming on Friday? Yikes!

Snooooow! I've been eagerly awaiting this, and now we've got it. :D Too bad about your pine tree, though.

Hi Bella! Snow is a fantastic adventure for sure, puppydog. *sends pets*

Yes, neighbors with chainsaws FTW. (Or in my case, I know a guy for sure, if the neighbors don't.)

Aw, does Bella like snow? The dog here likes to frolic. And this is enough snow for frolicking.

No snow here since the dunp before Christmas but it's getting colder again.

Nice pic!

Tunnel of white alright! The trees look so pretty though.
