We are in the seriously deep snow now! We got about eighteen inches of beautiful fresh powder in forty eight hours from Tuesday to Thursday. It was a two part storm with about six inches the first wave and twelve the second. Now we have a lot of work to do as all our trails are completely gone.
I’m the tallest of us four, and see how far up the snow comes on me when I walk in the short trail we have made so far? It’s hard trying to sniff out where our trails used to be.
Here is a shot of me balancing my ears. See that? One up and one down?
This winter has been so good to us with snow, we sure hope there will be more winters like this in the coming years. Snow is so much fun to play around in!
For me, I love the snow, but being so short, I am buried easily! Thursday morning I barely made it from the house to the street because of the drifting snow. I had to hop up and down to get myself to the road. Luckily there were tire tracks there that I could walk in.
My core is really strong. How does that happen? I think it is from all the extra muscles I have developed to keep up with bigger siblings and a human. Powering through the deep snow takes a lot of muscle and energy.
Since I work much harder than the others in the family, I usually get more food and snacks. All this working out makes a girl hungry. I east the same amount as my sisters yet I weigh a lot less.
Can you see in this photo how hard I’m working to porpoise out of the snow to move forward?
I’m a big snow lover, but I have to admit I miss Nelson in this fresh snow. The two of us have so much fun, but we will just have to have that fun next week instead.
My photos are so funny because I am in the deep snow. I need to figure out where we should start expanding our trail system so we can get after any critters that come into the yard.
Of course, racing through the snow if my favorite thing to do. I love speed.
Snow makes us all happy at our house and this winter has had lots of snow and lots of happy to go along with it. Hopefully we will have a few more weeks to enjoy winter before the spring melting begins and everything turns into a wet mess.
We are joining our friends at Living Laughing and Barking in Our Backyard is for their Nature Friday blog hop.
You’re so lucky! The weather peeps are saying that we might get snow early next week. We shall see! Have fun in your beautiful snow!
We have our paws crossed for you.
wow that’s a lot of snow… will it be still there when your bro is ready again for dashing through the snow?
It will take a long time to melt all the snow we have so he should be able to play in it starting later Monday.
You sure are photogenic! Brrrr I am feeling the cold now but you make it look like a winter wonderland!
It is absolutely beautiful and we all love it.
I am totally jealous. Look at all those wonderful ‘pups having fun in the snow’ pictures. You guys are surely making the most of it. We have only had a few sprinkles here in Aberdeen so far this year, more’s the pity.
Toodle-oo!
Nobby.
We are having so much snow this year it is crazy, but we sure do love it. We will play extra for you.
Oh, that looks so cold! We are having a strange blast of cold out here in California, we are hoping all the plants that have started blooming won’t get too shocked.
This morning it is twelve below zero. It’s normal to get really cold after a big snow, but tomorrow it will start warming up again.
Geez, all that snow!! I am sooo jealous – for myself and for the Z Kids!! We’re getting the warm end of your storm. We’ve had daytime temps of upper 70s/nighttime lows have been mid 60s. UGH! I want winter!! I want snow!
We are so happy we have had so much snow this winter. It is great as we all love it so, as does Mom. Maybe you will get a big March storm.
You had such fun, I’m so jealous!
Snow is a blast!
I’m so glad the girls enjoy. Poor Nelson. I personally would hate it
Snow and cold isn’t for everyone, but we do sure love it. Nelson will get to play Monday probably. We are excited for things to get back to normal with him.
That looks like so much fun! We are in the middle of a HEAT wave here in Florida. Air conditioner is ON! XOXO, Sparkle
Our a/c is on, but only outside, LOL! -12 this morning on our walk. Refreshing for sure. We are not looking forward to heat waves at our house. Stay cool!
WOW!!! You guys are snow lucky!!! That is some beautiful snow!
xoxo,
Rosy & Sunny
This bunch is beautiful, all powder!
I wondered how you all were doing! I heard about all of the snow you were going to get and they sure didn’t exaggerate!! Love that you are enjoying it so much!
Some places got just over a foot but we got about eighteen inches. It’s beautiful, fluffy powder 🙂
OMDs that is some serious weather. Looks like you are enjoying the rompin’ about
Stay warm and Safe
Hugs cecilia
It is perfect weather for the winter and we are loving it!
WOW! Sure looks like fun!! Especially Madison! But Baillie’s helicopter ears are also quite the stuff!
We all have our things. It’s just a bummer Nelson can’t come out and play.
It really is fun to see you trying to romp about in the deep snow! Poor Nelson is missing out on the fun.
We all miss his happiness and energy out in the yard. It’s hard to believe there was a time before he lived with us. He will be out and about the beginning of the week and we all can’t wait.
Awesome photo of you sweet doggie in the snow ~ snow in MA and icy ~
Wishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

Sadly, we are supposed to get some rain and ice tomorrow which will ruin our beautiful new snow but it is getting to be the time of year where snow doesn’t last.
Whoa…that truly IS seriously deep. Norman says you can gladly have it.
We will happily keep it all as long as we can 🙂
I absolutely loved reading about your adventures in the deep snow with your pups! It’s clear that your dogs had a blast playing and exploring in the winter wonderland, and it’s heartwarming to see the bond between you and your furry companions.
I appreciate the detailed description of your experience, including the challenges and joys of playing in deep snow with your dogs. It’s a great reminder to embrace the winter season and find joy in the simple pleasures of spending time with our dogs in the great outdoors.
Your beautiful photos really captured the magic of the snow-covered landscape and the pure joy on your dogs’ faces. I also appreciated the safety tips you provided for playing in the snow, such as keeping an eye out for signs of exhaustion and dehydration.
Overall, this post is a wonderful celebration of the joys of winter and the special bond between dogs and their owners. Thank you for sharing your adventures and insights with us!
