19 degrees and snowy sleet on the ground. Obviously still have power and internet, but who knows when the power will go off.  I have my little yellow flashlight in my pocket. 

 

Finally got Molly to wear her sweater!!!

Good luck in getting Molly out!  She looks good in her sweaterSmiley Happy

 

It's also very cold here and will not go above the 20s all week!  

 

Which means the ice & snow will not melt.  So far we only have a few inches but by this evening we're supposed to get about a foot of snow topped with ice.  That scares me since I can't remember getting this much snow topped with ice.  It will be impossible to shovel.

 

My neighbor usually helps but most of the time it's only a few inches.  I will have to see how things go and call someone to dig out out if need be.

 

There were a few local people on the neighbors site that offered snow removal.  One went by the inches=cost.  Over 12" it was $100.00 plus an additional $15.00 for each car.  I made sure to get cash out a few days ago!

Our poor dog was limping while walking on the ice.   And his paws bled a little.   Luckily,  we have a Generac Standby Generator in the event there is a power outage.

@goldensrbest  -  we've got potty pads all over the house.  No way we can take our babies out in this weather to do their business.  Thank goodness they know what the potty pad is for!  Smiley Happy

I really feel sorry for the animals, they don't want to go out in all this.

I hope people have enough sense to bring their outside dogs in.

 

I worry about all the homeless animals out there.  How can they survive this weather?

That is so upsetting. I know in my area there are a lot of homeless cats that just wander around hoping for someone to feed them @San Antonio Gal

We'd all limp too walking barefoot on the ice.  I know it's suggested for dogs to wear booties does that work for yours?

 

Tried booties with our little pug, didn't work.
