Snowstorm Update!

The snowfall was lovely! I'm not sure that's how Cody would describe it! Yesterday I didn't go anywhere. My SUV was covered in snow and had icicles hanging from it. I also knew the roads were likely a bit of a mess. We had a few items we needed from the store but I didn't feel like venturing out by myself with snow and ice on the ground.

Cody and Simon each had a few Bambi moments while out on their walks. It's funny to watch the boys walk thru the snow. Simon just plows through it, same way he trots through a rain puddle. Cody on the other hand delicately prances through the snow with an irritated slightly puzzled look on his face. The funniest is when Cody has to step on ice, his face questions whether the ice will hold him and I'm convinced he hates the sound of stepping on it. I don't like that sound much either. It kind of sounds like someone popping bubble wrap. Although the sound of a car driving on ice is much worse.

We thawed out a bit today. The temp made it up to 40. It started out in the 20's. When I walked the boys it was 27 degrees out. I can remember my first winter here, I couldn't handle anything lower than the mid-30's when walking the boys. And those 30-something degree walks that first year were quick, just enough time for the business. Now in 20-something degree temps I still take the boys out for all their usual walks. Yay me! As long as it's just cold temps and snow on the ground I'll try my best to brave it. I would never do the full walks in dangerous conditions.
