We Survived Snowapalooza

Bunny here at the keyboard writing about our crazy weather the past few days.

Most of our friends in the States know that we had one wicked blizzard blow through our area Monday night, all day Tuesday and yesterday morning.  We ended up with twenty inches of snow.  Mom has been off school for three days and Dad's work even sent everyone home early on Tuesday.  That's very unusual. 

By Wednesday morning, some of us had a pretty serious case of Cabin Fever.  We decided to go out for a walk to stretch our legs and get some fresh air.  Plus, we'd almost forgotten what the sun looked like up in the sky. 

I am glad that I had my coat and boots.  Those snowdrifts were deep.  I wish I'd been able to go without a leash, because I wanted to run the whole walk around town and through the park.  Morgan kept climbing up the snowbanks.  Dad told her not to, but Mom said to let her and maybe it would wear her out a little.  It didn't. 

Still, it felt so good to get out and stretch our legs.  It gave us a chance to get caught up on our Idita-Walk challenge, too.  I hear that it's going to be extremely cold today and tomorrow, so we'll probably be itching to hike this weekend.  I  hope we see our owl come back so we know he's okay.  He likes to sit under the awning when it's extra cold, but we didn't see him during the blizzard.

How do the rest of you pass the time when the weather is too brutal to go outside?   Thank goodness Gertie the Groundhog told Willard Scott that we'll have an early Spring!  I'm ready for Winter to be over!

Let It Stop Snowing

Bunny here at the keyboard writing about our Winter weather here.

The weathermen said that we were going to be getting some snow this weekend.  That's like saying Siberians have a little floof.  It started snowing early Sunday morning and kept snowing and snowing and snowing.  I cracked out my winter hiking boots from Voyagers K9 Apparel and the snow came up to the tops of my boots!  I was surprised, because these boots are pretty tall.

All the snow made for some good napping inside, and I enjoyed sharing a little grilled cheese sandwich with Mom and Dad.  It wasn't a good day for doing anything outside.  We didn't even go to the birthday party for Dad's youngest sister because Dad said he nearly wiped out going two blocks to the local grocery store for butter for our grilled cheese. 

I'd say right now that we have a lot more snow than we need.  If anybody would like some, just stop by with a shovel and you can take as much as you want.  There's enough to make a whole army of snowmen out there!  I'll be inside sneaking drinks of Mom's hot chocolate after she sits the mug down on the coffee table.
