More Snow...What Else is New?

1 foot.

We got more snow. While this is not news, I still have to keep making notes so I can remember the worst winter on record so far.

This much more than surpasses the year we moved here in 1991 when we got over 200 inches of snow for the whole winter season.

My info thus far shows. . .
Dec 16 - 12 inches
Dec 17 - 36 inches
Dec 18 - 18 inches
Dec 25 - 12 inches
Dec 27 - 12 inches
Dec 29 - 12 inches
Jan 1 - 6 inches
Jan 2 - 12 inches

Ugh.

On New Year's Day, I shoveled off the deck while Greg plowed. We had received another 6 inches of snow. Kelsey was still at her friends' house in CDA after spending New Year's Eve with them.

Greg & I went in to get lattes, and a rose at Miller's Grocery so that Kelsey could be holding a flower when she read Matt's Anniversary love email. Matt had asked us to get her a rose. He is SO sentimental. What a sweetie.

After that, it was a marathon of The Twilight Zone on the Sci-Fi Channel.

Shopped on-line for a few clearance items at Hollister and A&F for Kelsey. I wanted to get another scarf.

I have been thinking about adopting another dog as it seems Isabelle has done well with Little Bravo. To wit, been investigating adoptions via the internet. There are quite a few dogs that have possibilities. Even if we don't go today, we can go meet them tomorrow.

Kelsey contacted her friend, Kyle to see if he can come out to shovel our large building as the snow STILL has refused to slide off the roof. It is now getting quite frightening to see the massive amount of snow on it. Kyle usually builds roofs during the summer, but has taken up snow shoveling this winter. Very lucrative.

This afternoon after Greg was done working in the shop for a while helping the extremely needy...(Mr Ed's backhoe broke down yesterday & was fixed & broke down again today), we finally went up to Panhandle Animal Shelter where we picked up Harriet. Harriet's brother Ozzie had already been adopted and she was "socializing" at the front desk. A very sensitive soul like our Izzy (Harriet & Izzy-get it?) hubby immediately knew that this was the dog we needed to add to the canine collective.

Harriet is shy, brindle colored Boxer who tends to follow me around constantly, and is very skinny due to previous abuse. She had been adopted out once before, but returned after 4 days. Very sad. She is in her "forever" home now. I can't even imagine taking a dog back after getting to know them. Harriet won't play as yet, and we have a challenge ahead of us to fatten her up but I think it will work out OK.

Small, Medium, and Large. They all look so adorable.
