We're getting more snow here in Illinois on top of what we've already got! It's pretty in the trees! It's supposed to turn to sleet later!
All I can say is I'm glad it's not me. Sorry, but havoc ensues here whenever the white stuff show's up! Hope you keep safe and warm.

Yeeks. I"m sure that is no good news for the roads either. Stay safe and warm with the doxies and enjoy the view!
We here in Iowa got a bit more snow yesterday, and we did then get "Wintery Mix" on top of it. It was all fine as long as the temp stayed above 32, but now it has fallen, and is expected to fall all day and really be in the icebox tonight (negative digits). When it's cold like that, we still let the dogs go out (ours are longhairs) in the yard, but we time them, and don't allow more than 10 minutes. Sam, our 4 year old, does a very quick "in-&-out" (sometimes a full 45 seconds!) , but Sophie, our 10 year old, who has quite a heavy coat, insists that she is a "Siberian Dachsonian Princess" and usually uses up 7 or 8 minutes in "deep cold" situations. Sometimes I've had to go out and get her and bring her in. But as I let her out, I always say "It's cold, don't be out too long, be careful", and she stops and pauses and looks up at me as if to say "I know you love me, Mom". :) When it's just regular winter temps (20's) Sophie stays out for even longer. And of course, the favorite place to sit after re-entry? My warm, soft lap! Sophie will often stay out with me if I'm doing yard work in the snow (picking up sticks in the yard--I do this so our doxies won't get poked in the eye while out in the darkness of early morning, etc. but I can see that my little girl is slowing down some.
Talk about SNOW --- here in Breckenridge, Colorado, we got dumped on!!! It took me close to half hour to get all the snow and ice off my Expedition before I could even head over the pass (yes, driving a mountain pass in a snowstorm is what I do). It took me an hour to go 19.6 miles to home. John says the little ones can hear my car coming 1/2 mile away and they all gather by the door awaiting my arrival each night.
:thinik: To see if they are paying attention, try (when there's no snow in your way) passing your house and pulling up about 100 feet beyond your house. See if the crew notices and tries to reorient to a window or another door closer to where the sound is coming from.
Are they paying attention or are they on "autopilot" the minute they hear your car and just wait at the door? :toothy1: :lurk:
I dunno, Auntie Keren, are you playin ricks on the puppers? :nono:
Who, ME?? Would I do that?? :angel12:
