Whoever said, "Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow" should be made to come shovel our yard.
And then we will bite their ankles.
Just in case you don't know, we live in southeastern Virginia. Average snowfall for a year? 7.8 inches. Average snowfall for December? 0.9 inches
As of 3:30 this afternoon, we had 14.5 inches. And it KEEPS COMING DOWN!
This morning, the snow was up to our pugbellies or about 5 inches. Mom had to carry all four of us out of the house. We're no dummies. We weren't going out in that icky cold wet stuff.
But she put us under the deck where the snow wasn't as bad. Tallulah was a big baby and wouldn't come out from under the deck so mom could pick her up to take her in.
Can you see the path that mom cleared at 11:30?
At the bottom of the deck steps, the snow is higher than the first step.
Our patio furniture looks like cupcakes with a ton of frosting.
But it does make for a pretty picture of our house.
Needless to say, we aren't going out in that mess. That snow is deeper than we are tall! We're only 12 inches at the shoulders! Thank Dog for potty pads and newspapers.
We know this storm is headed up north, along the East Coast. So all our friends up that way, be careful and stay warm. Hope your parents have enough food and treats (and potty pads) to last you guys.
UPDATE! Mom has Monday off of work! WHOO HOO!
Wow!! That is alot of snow for your area!! Hope it quits snowing and doesn't take too long to dig out of it!!

Holy CRAP! That's some SERIOUS snow!
ReplyDeleteSnuggle up with your hoomans for a few days and just forget about the mess outside! It might start to melt around the Fourth of July!

Oh my goodness! That is a lot of snow!! We came back to St. Louis to 4 inches of snow today - I wasn't prepared at all. 4 inches touches my belly and it makes me mad! We only got a little skiff of snow at Grandma & Grandpa's in Southern Missouri so it totally sucked coming back here! I feel bad for you guys. At least you have those awesome bones to chew on. And I go potty under the deck in these conditions too. :)
