Nope, my girl is an indoor dog, but she LOVES snow! I can't wait for it to really snow hard because she has so much fun. They're predicting only 60 inches of snow this year, if that. El Nino seems to be affecting us again. For the past few years, we've had 52 inches, and then 137 inches, so it will be interesting. FYI, where I live, we average around 100+ inches a season. Thank you Lake Effect.

I would have to be committed to a loony bin if we ever got that much snow

I'm beginning to whine already, as it has fallen below 50 degrees. I hate winter. OK, I will go for a White Christmas - it's the ambiance, dontcha know. But please God, let it melt by the morning of the 27th.

This winter I will be especially nuts about the snow and ice because my son is hoping to get his drivers license in December. I keep trying to drag it out, telling him that experience is so important, and doesn't it make sense to wait until the spring to get the license?? He's not buying it. Dang!! Of course, I wouldn't have either at his age.

Your dog pictures are precious; our sweet Muttley really loves to play in the snow too.

Not being a native of MA, I have no idea what the average snowfall might be. We had a fairly mild winter last year, with very little snow. Of course we had just dropped over $1,000 on a brand new snow thrower; typical! I checked the Farmer's Almanac, and it said we'd have a winter like last year in temps, but much more snow. So that new machine may get taken through its paces this year!

After living here for 14 yrs., Sir SuziQ was finally persuaded to get the snow-thrower because he had a severe back injury in March of 2001 and decided to give up shoveling! It frankly would be cheaper to pay someone to plow, but because our garage doors open to the front rather than the side, there is no way for the truck to plow efficiently and we usually have to go back out when he's gone and shovel the leavings ourselves. Now we only have to do the front walk and stair, but that's what KIDS are for, right?
