No I didn't fix any good food or have the pleasure of having a ton of family around.  For possibly the first time in my life I experienced a snow storm on the holiday.  Our snows here usually consist of 2 -3" overnight and it's gone by noon.

It started about 7pm and snowed all night and into the morning until about noon.  I'd say there was about 7-8" in my neighborhood.  It was so pretty and my pups had such fun running and playing in it, then running inside to jump.in my lap soaking wet.  Such fun.

Another storm due tomorrow but, except for higher elevations,  it looks like rain so good-bye snow.

@Kachina624  I'm so glad you and your pups enjoyed the snow. Isn't it funny to watch them?  Not sure how often or how much you get in the winter.

Here in NEPA I like the first one or two snowfalls but after the umpteenth one it wears thin.

Any dog we ever had loved to go out and jump around in it.  We had a one that loved to go out and just lay there and get snowed on. She was a big old black dog, no idea of what kind, just a mixed breed.  She was very pretty and so sweet, but she was not very bright.  I loved that dog.  You would look out at all that white snow and there was Mindy, a big dark lump covered in snow. If you wanted her inside you had to go pick her up.

@Kachina624 -

That sounds so wonderful!

@CrazyKittyLvr2 -

I can just picture Mindy

One of my loveable granddogs loved to make tunnels through the snow-You would see a blur and then his sleek black body and tail emerge.

The other 2 would follow his path he had made

@on the bay  When you finally got her inside, after brushing off the snow, you had to towel dry her. She had thick long hair and it took forever to fully dry.  By then she wanted out again.  Rinse and repeat.

I used to have mini Doxies and Mr Cherry always had to use his snow blower ,to clear a path  and place for them to go potty..They are little couch potatoes ,and never  thought much of the out of doors

I am NE of Scottsdale and the rain woke me up at 4:45. 

We have thunder and lightning too. Really pouring now and more expected all day.

My big decision is whether to go to the gym for class at 10:00 or just snuggle in for the day!
