LouisCamp Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Couple of pics of the snow in my yard, the Basset Hounds have bottomed out! Lou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onemorepatty Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Mea Culpa, I shall stop complaining right now, it isn't that bad here really, not compared to you. But you gotta admit it is beautiful. I have a Red Bird thatcomes to my yard and sits on my fence, he is beautiful to watch in the falling snow.

LouisCamp Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Yeah, we got about 16" so far, sill had about 14" on the ground from the storm on Saturday. It's heavy & wet snow. Lou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Bottomed out! lol OMG looks like it goes halfway up your door! We didn't get that much snow! Some, but not that much. But we did have a pet-related adventure in the front yard this morning. I went out to shovel and heard a loud frantic call from the thorny bushes up against our porch. I couldn't tell for sure if it was a cat or a large bird. But eventually we managed to extricate a kitten. A bushy tailed black kitten, maybe a few months old. Fed him, watered him, dethorned him, found him a home. What a rush. Our grown boy cats weren't happy about it but everyone is settled down now.

david Chamberlain Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I was out in my new neighbors back yard for a while this afternoon splitting some wood for him that it appeared he had given up on. I live for this and definitely brought my maul and wedges to New Mexico. Luckly I've only been using the snow shovel at the neighborhood playground to shovel back the gravel that gradually sneaks out onto the sidewalks in the children's area. I've been told that there were only two decent snow storms here in the past 17+ years. Kinda pathetic. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfisher Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I would say we ended up with 15 to 16 inches, maybe a little more... Being so close to Lake Michigan we get the lake affect snow that the outlying areas never see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Front yard scene of the beginning of last weekend's storm (Friday): My back deck that same night: Same scene the next morning: Digging out after last weekend's 32 inch snowfall: Then we received another 18 inches Tuesday night/Wednesday with winds up to 43 mph: Snow drift photo from last night: So we are digging out from 50 inches of snow in 6 days. The region is barely moving. Happiness is a good stick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Too funny, Lou. What's it take for a Basset Hound to bottom out - a few inches? lol. When I was a kid one of my responsibilities at my first paying job (65 cents / hour) was to care for Claudia - the original Hush Puppy dog - no kiddin' - I love Basset Hounds. Alan, those are some beautiful pics. I haven't seen that much snow for a long while - thankfully. It looks like even the Great Danes are bottoming out in you neighborhood! And frosticles . . . ouch - poor pupper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoop Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 ROFL!!! Lou, we're sorry.... This is ALL Dustin's fault!!!! Aside from loving the whole environment of George Washington University, the climate of DC appealed to him MUCH more than the icy slush of Beacon St. at BU (His final 2 choices...) A few weeks ago, when our temps were down to single digits, he was calling to say how nice it was down there.... He shouldn't oughta done that...... LOL I remember "frosticles!!!" We had an English Setter during the blizzard of '78!! I imagine, it's much easier on a "girl dog" though..... LOL We had a Tammy Faye snow...1 inch of base and 2 inches of powder Hell, we didn't even get that!!! Next week is school vacation for the NE yuppy states (Mass, Conn, NY) Our ski areas are probably worried... David... Go for altitude!!! I have Cloudcroft on my "retirement location" list!!!

MARBLEMISER Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Well it's snowing again here too. 10 more inches tonight & tomorrow. It's really rough on the wildlife here too. I'm not sure where these deer are going. My guess is to find something to eat. marblemiser SNOWDEER.bmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onemorepatty Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Okay...I did it. I just beat down that snowman in my neighbors yard. I couldn't take that thing smiling at me anymore. It's been staring at me for days now.It's all your fault Galen. I was okay until I saw the sun. Ric? Mean is not the word I'd choose right now. I stomped that snow creature pretty hard. I think my neighbors are afraid of me. I really can't take much more of this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
