I LOVE the Northwest:) SNOW

I was up at 5:30 am yesterday. It was already snowing heavily. It hasn't stopped since, at a rate of 2 inches an hour this is what we woke up to this morning. My black lab is in heaven.. This storm was only supposed to drop about 9 inches, well it stalled over the top of us, and we are the target of its snowy fury.. and I LOVE IT.
I will get better pics once we dig ourselves out, I really don't want to walk through 30" of snow to take pics right now lol.
These were from last night.

See how the snow isn't too deep?
Here is this morning.. now the snow is up to my labs neck, behind his ears. He is so funny, and runs and nose dives into it, he buries himself so you can't see him.

I am pretty sure my fence is 6 ft.

As I said I will get much better pics once I am able to get out and shovel. Oh.. and there is another storm on the way:D

That is AWESOME!!! I wish that I was further north I am in Va. and don't hardley get any snow....although my husky would love it I am sure.

I know, I have family in Norfolk and they say the same thing:) I was born in Norfolk, but have lived here my whole life. I wouldn't trade it for the world.

that looks like a lot of fun!! im in florida so we only get snow in the form of ashes from our wild fires!

Nice that is where I am. Born and raised.

While I'm not a big fan of snow or cold in general, that looks extremely fun. Hope you get dug out soon.

If by northwest you mean pacific northwest, I live there too.. But I must be in the wrong spot because I got about 1/2 an inch ;)

I want that......

Yup!!

We are in Coeurdalene, ID. The storm is just staying right on top of us. Not sure where you are at, but its supposed to eventually move south of us.

The ski resorts are getting pounded. My kids are 4 and 5 and woke up this morning begging to go to to "the big mountain" lol

We can drive to that, foo...

And not have to live in it ;)

I'm in WA, right by Portland, OR, but across the river. All the snow fell around where I am :P the cities more north and more south than me got much more snow.

I'm here in Bend (elev 4000 ft) and we have about 6 inches on the ground with another 6 inches predicted by tonight. It's snowing heavily right now!! :D

My rottie loves it and the new pup is having a blast in it!! Fun, fun~ and just in time for Christmas!! :banana:

We've been getting dumped with snow so far this year. We are 28 inches over this time last year already and I thought we had alot then. Tonight its another 8-10 inches.

I love it, the husky loves it, and the Jeep loves it.

well, lovely northeast pa also got hit with snow. started snowing around 10am this morning and its been coming down steadily since. Personally I am starting to hate snow.. I can appreciate its beauty but to have to shovel and drive in it.. ugh. now if only my two largest bp girls were up to breeding size... :rofl: then I'd LOVE snow. nice pics though.

Wow! you got hit much harder than we did, and we are close to Buffalo NY. You can keep it for awhile if you want! I don't mind snow, but I hate driving in it when there'z zero visibility. If I didn't have to drive to work/other places, I would love it.

Yesterday when I was clearing the foot of snow that fell here I tripped over a landscaping rock that was covered in a snowdrift and was slammed down on the concrete driveway on my butt with a force like that of a judo throw. Now my acetabulum (hip socket) that was broken in a car accident when I was in my 20's hurts like hell and I'm crippled up. I would be glad to have all the brush fires.

I am soooooo jealous lol making me miss home (sniffle sniffle) . I have been in Florida the past 2 years (grrrrrr). please make sure you post some new snow pics, maybe I'll finally get into the holiday season :)

Well heres the totals.

37.3 Inches of snow in Coeurdalene where I live. More in some areas of the city. I think we may have more at our house. Its hip deep in some spots.

The best part... We have another storm coming tonight, I am stoked!

Here is a pic of me Thursday digging out our front walkway and mail box. This was before the heavy snow hit. It snowed another foot after this.
