Big Snow

It started snowing last night and didn't stop until late this afternoon. I think we got over 8 inches when it was all said and done. This is Mike shoveling the driveway after he got home from work. Cassius is such a wimpy dog. He had his coat on and still avoided as much snow as he possibly could. He probably thinks he needs a pair of winter boots to go with his coat.
Beck on the other hand LOVES the snow. She played outside with Mike the entire time he was shoveling, which was a long time. Mike would throw her ball into the deepest patches of snow that he could find, or send her running up and down the street. She was pleasantly worn out when they came in from shoveling.This is Cora's first time really being in the snow. She was watching Mike out the window and was getting pretty excited. I bundled her up and set her down in the snow for a second or two. I don't think she really knew what to think about it but she didn't get upset.

Later in the afternoon Mike, Cora, and I went to the YMCA to workout (well Cora goes to childcare). She was watching the snow fall and was looking up as if she was saying, what the heck is this stuff falling from the sky.
After we worked out I couldn't take it any longer. I bought new telemark skis about a month ago and since I couldn't go up the hill today, I tried out my new skis in the street. I think I will be really happy with them, they are so much shorter and therefore more manageable than my last pair.
