I guess it really isn’t the morning after the snow, because it’s still snowing. I think it’s supposed to stop today, but I heard last night that we can expect 4-6 more inches tomorrow. Holly, the Norwegian Elkhound (snow dog), just loves it.
The minute she feels snow under the pads of her feet, she rolls around like crazy, giving those weird snorts that dogs give.
Typically, I would be a little upset at the whole situation. I was hoping to avoid any snow at all this year. But truthfully, I am having a blast. I don’t know why. Perhaps it’s because I don’t have to scrape anything off the cars and try to shovel around them. That was always a miserable task. Also, I don’t have to shovel the end of the driveway. I used to really hate that part of the ordeal.
Remember when I was telling you about how I thought we could shovel the entire driveway instead of buying a snowblower? Yeah, I must have been on crack. There is no way in the world I would have been physically able to shovel this driveway. No way at all. Even if I had a team of my best friends on the job, half of them would have quit.
By this point, I don’t have to tell you that the snowblower is da bomb. I was so proud of it this morning, I asked Laura to come outside and take some action shots of me. She took a whole bunch, but these are my more fashionable.
I did learn a few things while clearing the driveway this morning. First, blow the snow in the same direction as the wind. I nearly froze half my face by going against the wind once. Second, self propelled snowblowers are awesome. I loved watching those snow tires grab that pavement. No slip, no slide, no nothing.
That’s all I learned.
Go enjoy the snow. I’m outty.

We have a Siberian Husky named Sierra that does not come in the house from November through March. This is by his choice.He is allowed in the house at anytime. We miss him, but it is mean to keep him in the 68 degree house while he wears his winter coat. We have a nice dog house for him to keep him out of the wind. Sometimes he forgets that the house is warm, barks at the door to come looking much like your dog Holly. We even have the same chain.
I too, was on crack when I thought I could get by shoveling the driveway. It could be done, but you could cut down a tree with a butter knife given enough time, but who wants to do that? That was reason we invested in a snowblade for the Kubota. Now, I do my driveway in 15 minutes. Than I do the good neighbor thing and plow them all too.
