Digging Out
There’s the beauty of the snow falling, and then there’s the days after, which often include labor with a shovel, wet and slippery travel, and mornings of refrozen ice and eventually mud. We normally get ice here in the Piedmont of North Carolina, but snow like this, 10-14 inches, not so much. Even with all the less pleasant aftermath, I’m enjoying it.

Excellent images that depict what you are going though and that look on Bentley’s face is so telling!
You know, when significant snowfalls only occur every 10 to 15 years, they don’t seem so bad and can even be fun. While I don’t want to sound pessimistic, I realize that at that interval, this might be my last big snowstorm here at home, so I’m going to enjoy it with the hope for more to come in the future.
Looks like you might have more than us! We have a good 6-8 inches that is getting pretty well packed down in frequent walking areas. I don’t look forward to the mud season that comes when it all melts. I guess you enjoy the change in scenery while you can. :)
Yeah, the mud is the worst, especially when you have dogs. At least with snow, they’re only wet when they come back from a walk. Bentley doesn’t have much hair, and he’s about nine years old, so he doesn’t like really cold temperatures or terribly long walks. He’s usually eager to come back home. The scenery is what it is, and you might as well enjoy it or at least endure it as best as possible. Right!
Well, some proper snow there! I’m a bit surprised as it’s nearly as much as we have. Hopefully, it’ll melt faster.
Yes, my desire for snow has been satisfied for a while. It’s melted a good bit, but we still have patches of snow as the temperatures have remained cold.
