There were some sunny breaks at times, no wind, not too cold, and a lovely fresh snowfall from the night before. We didn't see too many animal tracks, mainly just some deer and fox. We knew a bad storm was on its way, and thought this might be the only really nice walk of the weekend...which it was...
This is Trust, catching up after wandering off a bit looking for one of "her" birds- spruce grouse.
Oh-oh...Tank thinks the forest monster may be lurking out behind those bushes...better wait for Trust!
But here comes Blast to save the day! We had such a pretty walk. The weather changed drastically after this, and we had a huge dump of snow. It was unrelenting, through the day, the night and Sunday. We are actually still under a winter storm warming, but the snow has been light today, the worst is the high wind and -30C windchill. I've not been too enthused to spend much time outside today, but had to shovel the deck for the fourth time in the last two days.The dogs are all very happy when we have snow, but the old two are having a tough time navigating, Tank and Trust are having fun, but getting cold feet. And then there's Blast, who never seems to be bothered by anything.
Above, Blast has climbed up the back of this pile of snow (from the plow) that is about 5' high. He loves to be 'on the top of the world'. He's just about ready to spring down again.
This is the amount of snow we received, in flat places, not affected by the winds. We were drifted in until our "snowplow guy" came at 4:30 this morning. Wake up! there's a monster coming up the driveway!!! Our driveway is 1500' long, from the road to the house. The townshop plows had not been out yet, expecting school closures and no school buses, I guess.I haven't gone down to check for mail delivery, just not in the mood yet for winter, I suppose.
I'm just hoping we won't be drifted in again by morning.
