Big Snow Storm

Jet and Tatum in the Snow

Well we finally got that big snow storm. It was not ‘that’ big snow storm that was predicted.. this one came almost a week later. LOL. Utah is so hard to predict. They usually get things wrong. This one happened on the weekend, which was nice. Less traffic. Most of it came down last Sunday. I went to Levi’s K9 Nose Work Class, then flyball practice. I took the Subaru Outback though, not the minivan. The Outback has AWD and handles the snow beautifully.

So the snow isn’t bad with a good car and the dog’s in seat belts. :) And the husband has been doing a lot of shoveling, which is also nice! I really appreciate when he does that! He’s such a great guy. He doesn’t need to find out about side effects of diet pills since he’s been working so hard on the snow!

The dogs, of course, love the snow. They are out playing in it a lot. I threw a tennis ball in the deep part so that Jet would go find it, to show how deep it is. I am pretty sure we got over a foot total. We haven’t had this much snow in a lot of years. It’s good for our water supply. And I like the snow until the end of December. Then I’m pretty much done with it and I’m ready for spring. :)

For now the dogs are enjoying it!

    Looks like the dog are enjoying the snow. I hate the cold although if I had pretty snow with the cold I imagine it would make it all better ;-) .

      The snow doesn’t quite make it all better. ;) It makes it kinda fun though. But come January, I’m done with the cold and the snow!

    Hi there! Thank you ever so much for coming by my bloggie! I hope we can be furends!

    That snow sure does look fun. Here in Collie-rado, we’ve hardly gotten any at all this year. In fact, we actually broke a record for the farthest time into the fall before our first measurable snow. How crazy is that?

    PeeS. My mom is all agog that you have a Danish/Swedish farmdog. She LUVS them and has never actually known somebuddy that had one!

      Hi Mayziegal! Nice to ‘meet’ you! I hope we can be furends too. :) I have a friend in Collie-rado who also says she hasn’t gotten any snow. She’s in Denver. Seems we are being selfish with the snow this year here in Utah!

      The Danish-Swedish Farmdogs are pretty rare! I got my boy all the way from Sweden. :) He was so worth it! I adore him.

    Seems like our winters are reversed from last year. Last year we got all the snow and you hardly got any. This year we still have grass showing and you guys are getting dumped on. I know you don’t mind the snow for a while, but I hate it, so I’m glad that it’s working out this way, at least for now.
