Blizzard?

Well, after all of the hype and craziness about the massive blizzard that was supposed to hit us, we didn't really see much of the storm at all. We got about 4 or 5 inches total for the past two days, which was totally manageable and no big deal. Especially since the highest prediction I'd heard was 36 inches, and the lowest I'd heard was 14 inches... so... 4 or 5 was NOTHING compared to what they were saying! I think New Jersey and parts of New York got pretty walloped by the storm, but I'm glad we didn't experience the blizzard they were predicting for our area.

So, aside from a little bit of shoveling, the snow wasn't really an inconvenience at all for our area. Guinness has been LOVING our snow-filled yard, and I'm happy to report that he's been napping quite soundly for a few hours already today. He's exhausted! Yay! I took some pictures of our area, and a bunch of Guinness playing in the yard:

Running... 

Running... 

And running! 

Chewing on his frozen tennis ball... 

That is a very snow-covered tennis ball he's holding in his mouth. He loves to chew the snow off. 

So this is a big stream that seems to have developed behind our yard... It's just a bunch of snow melt. I took this picture earlier today, and I just went and checked on it again and now it's pretty much just a bunch of mud. 

Here's Guinness checking out the stream. It's usually pretty dry back there! In fact, one of Guinness's tennis balls got over our fence a few days ago and was in that area... We hadn't had the chance to go get it, so I think it's officially gone now! 

 I hope everyone is staying warm and dry!
