Winter winter winter...

This past weekend was super fun, but the weather was kinda un-fun!!  It snowed a decent amount on Friday night (and it wasn't even supposed to snow that night!), and then on Saturday it was freezing rainy grossness, and then the temperature got ABOVE freezing by late morning, which meant everything turned to slush!!  There was just deep icy slush everywhere. McGee and I walked up to this awesome diner near us for breakfast, and for the first time ever there was no wait! I guess no one else wanted to go out in the slushy mess. I took a few pictures:

McGee!

Here's some of the slush we were walking through... 

McGee standing in some of it! 

This part was sooo bad. Some of the slush had totally melted and was just like 2 inches of cold water we had to walk through! 

This was our driveway! We sorta kinda "shoveled" it so that it wouldn't just freeze into an icy block when the temperature dropped at night. The "shoveling" was actually just pushing the slush to the sides of the driveway. 

Guinness looking super sleepy after an afternoon of running around the slushy yard!! He loved playing fetch in the slushy yard, but I think it was quite exhausting for him.

Today and tomorrow we're supposed to get a pretty big snowstorm I think. I've heard predictions for just a few inches per day, to a prediction for the biggest storm our area has ever seen (with like 3 feet of snow or something). So... who knows. It could end up being just some flurries, or it could actually be something massive. I'll keep you posted and take lots of pictures if it turns into something crazy. McGee brought a few changes of clothes to work today, just in case he ends up having to stay because of road conditions. And Guinness and I are all set with lots of food, bottled water, and flashlights just in case there's a worst-case-scenario. I'm not too worried, so don't worry!!  I hope everyone is staying warm and dry!!
