Mountain snow doesn’t mess around. Instead of gradually working up to a good storm, our weather jumped in with inches of snow. I walked Dolly before it hit its stride. The view at the top of our street sent mixed signals – autumn overlay on winter.
I tried to get Albert with snow on his nose, but missed. The dogs were frisking in the snow, and neighbor Marla and I were agreeing about our love of white weather. We made a happy foursome!
John went to play with trains and is missing all this wonderful weather. I’d get out there and wallow in the snow if I thought I could get up gracefully.

It’s lovely, Anne! We have had the mildest weather here and I’ve actually been thankful for it. However, when it comes, which it will, I’m looking forward to it’s beauty! Amy

Do you enjoy snow, Louise?

Just started snowing up here Anne (1445) 6-8 ” of the fluffy stuff is what they say. Be safe when you put the cross country skis on.

I tested the road several times to make sure there was not ice under the snow. If Dolly had pulled me at the wrong time, I could have gone down. John’s sister loves to ski, but I never had a chance to learn. Do you ski?

No, Mary Agnes did Cross Country when we were in New England. 0700 and we have maybe 8″. No day for the beach.

You may get more snow than we did! Standing at the beach watching snow is fun, but I think mountains are better.

Wow, that’s a lot! 4 – 5 inches? We have had only a very light dusting I can see on rooftops. (I’m on the 14th floor of an apartment building.) Unreal, N. Carolina having more snow than Montreal, Quebec?!! Wow!

I doubt we’ll get another snow this deep. Since we’ve lived here, we’ve had one good snow storm every winter.

There is something special about the first snow! We haven’t had our first yet. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe not. Depends on the tract of the storm. Enjoy!

Are you one who welcomes snow? I love it now that I’m retired and don’t HAVE to drive in it.

Only the first one or any in December. After that I’m ready for spring. It hasn’t started hitting the ground here yet. As it turns out, our air is so dry it’s evaporating and not making it to the ground. So maybe we won’t get any. They are getting snow along the Jersey and Delaware coastline. Not having to drive in it is HUGE!

I can understand the relief of not driving in snow. Snow looks best looking out of a window in your own home.

Anne,
I feel this post and pics are just for me. I love it- the winter wonderland.
Do the dogs enjoy the snow ?
Are you continuing with your walks to the creek ?

Dolly and Albert love snow. John and I took Dolly to the creek with us three days, but I did not go that far by myself the two days John was not here. Dolly is very strong and pulled forward constantly. Her family came home this afternoon, so I won’t be walking her tomorrow. In fact, I’m not walking at all because the snow is too deep. It is so beautiful.
