What a lovely snow scene…save it…people will be telling their great grandchildren years from now about that snow!

I own shovels- just not snow shovels.....
the shelties did make paths and yesterday, we had significant melting- more than I thought we would since it only made it to the mid30's

But your ground temp is high.

 

[woof]

Destin had to do a lot of hopping- being a smaller sheltie that snow was halfway to his shoulders. you could tell that he wanted to go but there was stuff touching his areas........
we're not supposed to get back to the 60s until Sunday

Thats why I shovel a potty patch area for the dogs in the snow--hey like us they don't want to mess themselves up--

 

[woof]

Do you even own a shovel? I was thinking for a smaller dog (like Piper’s size) I’d probably shovel a path but then I thought I bet you don’t own a snow shovel! Of course you could just create a path yourself by walking through it first lol. Of course my dogs would likely just make their own…they do often hop when the snow is too deep for them!

I used to live in Texas near Dallas and it was the bridges -- people would speed like mad on road into and out of Dallas and never realized that the bridges and overpasses were black ice- the cars piled up in the medians throughout the day-- some people never caught on...our pups don't like ice either but snow is a new game in town.

I have lots of pix and videos from this "generational" event is what it's being called.

Our bridges were essentially closed for that reason- we have a lot of road areas that are elevated.......

with temps today in the 40s, we got some melting action......

this area is one of the snowier still in the yard- the puppers yard is mostly all melted........

Same here….most bridges here have signs saying bridges can be icier than roadways. I tend to slow down as I approach a bridge…years ago I was going over a bridge and on the downward portion I just tapped the brakes to slow down and I did a 180. Amazing that I didn’t hit anything but ended up pointed in the opposite direction although still in my lane . I have a fear of bridges now lol!
