Woke up to hard snow fall and howling north wind this morning and it has snowed/howled all day, at times enough to bring visibility down to about 100 yards. At 4 p, it lightened up. but it is supposed to continue into the night. At 4, accumulations ranged from 4 to 10 inches. As with the last storm, we are at the edge of the big Northeaster that is hitting Boston and Southern New England so hard.
Watching the dogs react to this weather has been entertaining. Lucy is ready to go in snow up to about 4 inches, but she has to leap if it is 6 inches deep. Her little corgi legs just don't work well in more than 6 inches. One day I watched her sink up to her tail. With a surprised look of "what the hell" on her face, she literally jumped backwards out of the deep snow and took an alternative route. Today, though, her main interest was getting back into the house. She doesn't think about exploring the woods these days. I am sure the porcupine would be relieved, if he knew.
