For most of January and until just recently in February, we have spent every week digging ourselves out from snow storm after snow storm. We knew the East coast could have some pretty powerful blizzards ... but even the Jersey lifers have been shocked by this much snow. It started with the blizzard after we came back from our Holiday trip home to Ohio. On the day after Christmas that left 2 feet of snow. Over the next couple of weeks, three more storms came delivering 6 to 10 inches of snow each. And a two weeks ago we got an ice storm which left a coating of ice on top of all the snow. Luckily the house that we rented came equipped with a snow blower...so we have gotten a lot of use out of it (except for the ice storm - note to self, snow blowers do not work with sleet). Needless to say, we are really sick of this snow.
Poor Griffey is hating this winter as well; he hasn't been able to go on many walks because a lot of sidewalks are not clear. And he really misses his backyard ... he can barely see over the mounds of snow where we have dug him an area. However, when the ice covered the snow he got adventurous and realized he could walk on top of the ice-covered snow and not sink into it. It was really funny watching him glide around on top of the 2 feet of snow.
We are all looking forward to spring.
Pretty soon...the snow is going to be higher than the pool.
