We got snow, too. It’s been snowing for a couple of days now and my back is killing me because I was just showeling some of that white stuff.

Love the pics as usual!!!! We’re getting snow but my daughter picked Edinboro (near Erie) to go to college and they got 2 feet last week and have another foot today and it’s still snowing! I wish she didn’t have to drive in it either.

I am fully capable of driving in the snow and am a good driver in snow – but I hate it. I hated it so much that my husband and I moved to Florida for several reasons, but the snow (or lack of it) was a major factor.

Love the picture of the goat giving its displeasure!

We’ve had a couple of light snows up here already (northwest Canada, eh). I thought for sure it was going to snow again last night. Instead a cold fog rolled in and froze all the trees and shrubs spooky white. That second photo reminds me of a Persian cat we had and her first experience of snow. She was SUPPOSED TO BE an indoors only cat, but she escaped every chance she found. One day she escaped and made it all the way across the yard before realizing she was in about 8 inches of snow, whereupon she stopped dead in her tracks and YOWLED for us to come rescue her! I also recall doing chores on cold snowy winter mornings … not fun. I used to keep two sets of water buckets, and the back porch was forever crowded with one set thawing for the next day! Actually, now that I write this, I kinda miss all that …

I vote for reindeer ears and a bell, but Clover will probably end up eating the ears. Send some snow our way, will you please? I can’t wait to see some white stuff. I’ve missed it so.

I love the pattern on Princess’ jacket/pajama top. Maybe that’s why she wears it. Thanks for showing us some of the white stuff. The view looks good of the hills too now that you’ve cut down those trees. xxoo

Your goats are so brave! Mine were appalled by rain, mud, ice, or snow…which means that, in Vermont, they stayed indoors from November through April. Those heated buckets are a godsend.

I wish it would snow here! I hope you have 4w-drive, though!

I am so glad we don’t have snow!

I love the way snow makes everything look brand new. We already had one storm that dumped 17 inches on us. That made the couple of inches we got last night look like a dusting. lol

The water warmers really do work and last for years.
