First snow of the season.

Wet, sloppy snow today... Essentially no accumulation, as anything that built up was so wet that it washed away in short order. But for a short while, there was some slushy snow on the grass. It was coming down so fast that for a while the rain mixed in with the snow couldn't quite wash it away as fast as it was falling. Only for a while, mind you. :-p

That was enough for The Girls - Much running about, mixing the scant snow liberally with mud, rolling in the slush, and stuffing their faces into the deeper spots. Dakota, especially, made a point of plowing snow with her face... She's undoubtely been missing the white stuff!

Sorry, no pics - Between the rather heavy rain admixed with the snow, and muddy slush being flung about, I didn't dare chance the camera outside. *shrug* It was a dark grey overcast day anyway. I doubt any pics would've turned out well.

Still, The Girls got a good workout just prancing about in the cold and wet. :-)

We've got plenty of snow and more on the way. I'd be happy to share.

Happy holidays from Vermont!

Once again... Blogger software does something weird. I don't generally moderate my posts, because I get a *very* low level of cranks here... But your post got thrown into Moderation Hell anyway...
:-(

Our snow is mostly gone, excepting the remnant heaps, which are large enough to stave off direct radiation in the chill, thin sunlight. Even able to hold up to rain. More snow coming tonight, but don't think it'll be much, here.

Y'all up in Vermont might see a touch more. :-p

Another post once I pry snow photos out of the camer...

I cannot relate to your excess snow problem. We almost never have that problem here. Stay warm.

Why do your comments alway get tossed into moderation hell..? Weird...

Anyway, cold as heck again... And snow. And pictures this time! So, when I have a chance later today I'll toss up a new post.
