Squeaky balloon snow



It will come as no surprise that yesterday we got more snow. It's cold enough to sound like rubbing the outside of a balloon when you walk on it. It's light and dry and gives that silky swish swish sound under skis.


Just a little 1-2" dusting as you can see by Ginny's roll in the new stuff. It doesn't seem like anyone minds being outside in the stuff except me? I have shoes and I get cold feet- they have paws and don't seem to mind in the least. In fact they like eating snow more than drinking from the water bowl. I think Ginny got into this habit at the Puppy mill and she'll just push along rubbing the side of her face through the powder with her mouth open scooping up snow, licking snow, eating snow.


That doesn't account for the wind however, the drifts can be 3-4x as high. We get a lot of wind up here.


The sunset was crisp and beautiful as usual.

It's supposed to get warmer over the weekend- into the 30's. We'll see if that actually happens.
