Snow snow snow snow snow

We got somewhere between 2.5 and 3 feet. (ETA: actual reports at 40 inches at the airport here LOL) At that point, the details are less important, it's just a lot of snow. I dug an area in the backyard for Mara to pee and she had some fun running around in the dug area. She loves snow up to the point where it hits her belly, then she realizes what all the other dogs normally have to deal with. 

I also partially dug my truck out, but since the neighbor who is supposed to plow hasn't come by yet, it doesn't really matter. It doesn't really matter at all because I don't actually need to go anywhere until next week.  I don't think anyone has dug their drive out yet. 

It's a lot of snow! I only saw three vehicles out, one was a tractor trailer on the major highway and two were trucks on my road. The plows have come through but no one is going anywhere. 

I am working today but will finish digging my truck out later and getting Mara a bigger play area. Shoveling is my workout today. It's also deceptively cold out, doesn't feel like it but there's a wind chill. 15 F with wind chill around 3 F and I got one of my fingers chilled for a bit while I was shoveling.

Three feet! We only got a light dusting here and I was hoping for more (since I live in a condo I wouldn't have to shovel).

That's a lovely path that Mara has to play in, though!

Normally, I live in an apartment complex and they do the clearing but I am renting out a place for two weeks and had to do more shoveling than normal. I don't mind though!

I cleared a larger area and she's having fun!

Mara has the Doubt!

Only a very little, couple centimeters, here; we're getting colder-than-usual, though not down to ~0 F cold. (-10 is about 14 F.)

And, yeah, going to take a few days to dig out of three feet. Hopefully there isn't another three feet on the way.

All clear for the rest of the week! Worst case, I leave here a day early in case of a bad storm further out than the forecast predicts. It has warmed up a little bit, this morning was very chill and the snow was that very fine powder. But the sun has warmed things up a bit and now the snow is a little more insulating and starting to pack a little bit.

Mara has figured out how this all works, she has a side area for bathroom business and now a larger area for goofing around.
