19 inches of snow, Superb Owl Sunday

19 inches of snow, Superb Owl Sunday

My friends in the UK say it’s snowing. My Canadian friends and I say, “that’s cute”. The side streets are still messed up. My MINI Cooper would have been no match. I got it beached in the snow once. Even my Touareg TDI with AWD briefly got stuck in the alley. I was tempted to buy snow tires. When I was a kid in Michigan, everyone had snow tires and at least one bag of sand or salt in their trunk or boot at my British friends say. I don’t have a bag of sand or salt in my VW but I have a small shovel. I had to use it to dig out a Camry. That wasn’t the workout I wanted on my way to work.

    Ana is obviously unfazed by it.

    What can I say, we don’t get hit with snow like you do, we fall apart. I do carry a shovel in Audrey’s boot.

    The snow was so deep that Ana had trouble finding a spot to pee. I had to clear a place for her to poop. Other than that, she loves the fresh snow. She jumps around in it and dives after her frisbee.

    Terry McNeil, I haven’t made a snow fort in eons. I remember we used to dig out forts in the big mounds of snow in the parking lots.

    Jason M, I didn’t go to work Monday either. I dug the woman out of the snow on Tuesday, on my way to work.

    We rarely see proper snow like that down these parts (Scotland on the other hand…)

    Anna Robertson Davis, you are welcome to visit any time if you want to see more snow. You can even bring ACB and Nikki along.

    Anna Robertson Davis​, you might need a separate suitcase for ACB. He’ll probably try to bring MiniM.

    And also it would not be fair on Nikki C what with the probability of noxious gasses being emitted by him.

    That’s just ridiculous.

    How do you survive that much snow?

    We are used to it, Brigitte W.. To use Nikki C’s terminology, my pesky wrist didn’t like that much snow.

    Clothes pegs work a treat for the smells or Vicks!

    Have you adopted pesky into everyday use Chad Haney​?

    Nikki C, not yet. I’m sure it isn’t a British thing. I mean pesky not ACB.

    Hi Chad, this is Heidi acting as my alter ego, I’m not allowed to share your snowpocalypse even though the post is set to public. You probably have very sensible privacy settings on your photos 🙂

    Heidi Bouman, I often disable re-shares on photos that are of my dog, home, etc.
