We had a good two feet of snow, deeper in some places because it drifted, not quite as deep in others. It's the biggest snow around here since the blizzard of 1996, and the first snow to amount to anything that we've had in a couple years. The timing was pretty good, starting on Friday afternoon. We didn't need to go anywhere over the weekend and we didn't. When the sun came up the melting started, and by Sunday we were free to move about. I think that someone who works on the road crew must live down our road because it was plowed sooner and better than many others in the county.
The dogs' reactions to the snow varies quite a bit. Cabell loves it and wants to run and play. Gypsy just doesn't have enough strength in her rear end to go bounding through the snow any more, so she has not been out in the deep snow and not outdoors much at all. Bremo wasn't crazy about getting his legs and belly wet in the cold snow. Molly loves it, but Molly loves everything. Emmylou likes it because it makes for good hunting. Zachary has no real independent thoughts and just goes along with it. After a couple of days of being mostly confined inside, they were all pretty happy to be able to get out for a romp in the sunshine.
They've got trails pretty well laid down, thanks to the bigger dogs, so it's not so tough to get around. After a good hour or so of pasture time, everyone is ready to come back in and pretty content to lay around and sleep most of the day. The snow messed up two adoption events this past weekend, but it could not be helped.

We have trails through the snow in our backyard that the dogs created. It's fantastic.
The picture of your home covered and surrounded by snow is breathtaking. It's been a long, long time since I have touched snow. Scott...Phoenix.
