Good morning! Nothing like waking up to 14 inches of fresh snow with up to another foot on the way

[hlthe2b]

and the pup NEEDS TO "GO!"

At least the wind isn't blowing...

1. I can dig that....

I will by Thursday anyway.

2. The pup will likely

change his mind once you open the door. Or at least make it a quick trip. Stay cozy inside if you can. I am dreading this coming winter, especially lots of snow. Sounds as though you have enough to last for a long time!

3. She LOOOOOVES it... Just got back. We were the first foot/paw prints--though in knee deep snow

you can't really tell what they are.

Every winter I come to the realization that the MOST important room in any home is a MUD ROOM (alcove, or something). Now, I have dripping clothes and boots all over the front entrance way.

But, you know what? That big golf umbrella someone gave me finally proved useful since the wind isn't too bad.

4. Good for her (and you) that

she enjoys the snow. I have had a couple of dogs who loved to have shovelfuls of snow thrown at them. As I shoveled, they ran in front of me, back and forth wanting me to throw snow at them. Fun times. My cats would back away from the door if I opened it, and they saw snow. Glad to hear that your dog is enjoying this.

9. Mine used to love the cold and snow

It wasn't much fun to have to mop up after him when he came in.

It'd be way below freezing and I'd wonder where the old guy was, and I'd look out in the back yard and he'd be stretched out on the snow sleeping, like it as a lazy summer day. He was a chow/shepherd mix (maybe a bit of wolf), so he had that super thick coat.

5. a flaw in DU--is location id

I can never tell where the post is coming from

6. That big Colorado state flag as my avatar is a real hint.

I'm in Northern Colorado and since this storm came in from the Northwest, we got slammed while southern Colorado will probably get a lot less, and Denver intermediate snow totals.

If you were already in the mountains at a ski resort, you'd be in "hog heaven." The problem now is few will be able to get there for quite a while.

7. I haven't peeked out yet

I don't think we're going to get too much down here in Pueblo. I was in Highlands Ranch last night and thought I'd get stuck up there until this afternoon, but decided to take a chance and drive home. It wasn't too bad, but took an hour longer than usual because, but not because of the weather.

Anyway, I'd help you shovel if I was up there.

8. I have friends that always used to brag about having an HOA-paid snow removal service

and how the snow wouldn't affect them. And then, after the first really big, longlasting and continuing snowstorm, they came to realize they weren't going to see a crew until it stopped--and then usually not for more than 24 hours afterward. LOL. I lent them a snow shovel.

[Rorey]

10. LOL

It's funny how they think they'll have a magical crew show up and make them the priority when they have an HOA.

I actually enjoy shoveling. I always think of the extra calories I'll get to consume later because of what I'm burning off.

11. Woke up to a solid quarter inch of the white stuff down here in the 4C.

Probably get a couple inches if it keeps up all day.

[Totally Tunsie]

12. Soooo, you might get two feet of snow!

[hlthe2b]

13. Looking out at it now. Two feet for sure... Maybe an extra inch or so.

My poor pup (Aussie/Border Collie) was up to her nose in it with nowhere for the "elimination" to go. I had to dig out an area for her.

BTW, I'll be sharing that graphic. LOL

14. Share away - I stole it myself!
