No dog pics yet, but Cody's already been out for a round of snow frisbee!

I almost got out the mtb but didn't want to have to clean it up afterwards.

I'll hopefully get to see pics of your snow angel Cody when you get a chance.

Mickchick, I call those happy ears.

Tulip, what does Shiloh think of it?

Shefly, I'm about ready for spring, aren't you??

Withm, hang out here. Taxes are boring.

We only have 2" so far, but are supposed to get 2-4" more today. Still, not that much, not what I'd call a 'snowstorm'- and certainly not enough to snowshoe on!
But it looks pretty, I admit. Here's the view from my upstairs office window at home yesterday:

Spring - YES! It was 60 here on Friday, and all the snow had gone. Here is a pic from Saturday (hardly any snow) and one from this morning at my house - 22F and a foot (this was the first clearing - DH had to go out a second time).

There was probably 5 inches or so on my car when I went to clear it off. I called into work and told them I would either be in very very late or not at all. I'm leaning towards not at all - the roads are clear, but getting to them is a problem. They only just plowed my condo parking lot a minute ago, except there is a swath of untouched snow several feet wide between the part they plowed and where the cars are parked. And there's at least 8 inches piled up between the cars, which will not be cleared by anyone. Because we don't have reserved parking here, no one bothers to clear snow or ice around the cars, because if you do, and then you leave, someone will take the space you so lovingly cleared out and you will have to park in a space full of snow. If everyone would just clear out one space, we would all benefit, but no one sees it that way, I guess.

Oh well. It does look very nice outside my window right now. There's a big pine tree covered in snow.

It's very windy and cold outside now. They say it will be near 60 by the weekend.

Shefly, at first glance I thought you were out riding around whilst your hubby was snow blowing.

Bleecker, what a nice view. I feel like I could sit there with my tea and watch the world go by.

Well the Weather Channel is saying that Arlington got 8 inches.

Meanwhile I tooks some pictures but can't get them loaded onto my pc for some reason. Hmmm.

But it does look nice outside.

We got 3" of puffy white snow -- still on every branch in the woods. It's gorgeous! I'll try to post a coupla pics later...

That sounds about right! The real issue now is the cold and the high winds. Hopefully, the latter will dry the main roads so tomorrow's commute won't be treacherous. We'll see if the county gets out and plows my hilly neighborhood!

Oh, that Shiloh! Snow boy, indeed. "Dry me paws, mommy!!"

**tulip** · 03-02-2009, 08:30 AM

Shiloh had fun and got snowballs stuck between his pawpads, which he did not like. The first one is blurry, but I like his exuberance. It's snowing again now...

Great snap Lisa.
That tree looks so pretty I think it belongs on the front of a Xmas card.

That depends where you live!

We had about 6" on our patio table, but as we head into town yesterday, there was quite a bit less in the woods and MUT that ran alongside Sligo Creek Parkway. That still didn't prevent us from seeing the tell-tale double tracks of the cross country skiers and even someone wearing snowshoes!
Desperate times call for desperate measures, I guess.....

**tulip** · 03-04-2009, 04:31 PM

We got 10" and it's still sticking around quite a bit, much to Shiloh's delight!

**Trekhawk** · 03-05-2009, 04:56 AM

Great shots Tulip!
Shiloh looks like he is having a ball.

**BleeckerSt_Girl** · 03-05-2009, 05:13 AM

For once, we got less snow than most places...we only got about 4" this last 'storm', and it's half melted already. Despite ice patches, little snowdrifts and slush everwhere...Spring is on the way!!

**sundial** · 03-05-2009, 06:32 AM

I love that last picture, Tulip. It's calendar worthy.
