Aaron Myracle Webboard User Reg: 06-06-2008 Posts: 5062 Loc: WA, USA Offline	We've had almost no snow this year, but this is one of the reasons I snatched up my neighbor's treadmill when he wanted to get rid of it. I can sit nice and warm in the basement with my coffee and watch the dog get her workout on the treadmill. She loves the thing, and I love not freezing to death.

I live in southern California, where 50 degrees is freezing and I am too cold to go outside. I am going to have to grow some balls if I ever get a working line pup lol Skijoring looks sooo fun, if it was a nice 75 degrees out

About 45 minutes of it was chasing their flying squirrels through snow about as deep as they are tall. The other part was breaking a trail through the field on our walk. I was really hoping they'd be out cold tonight. They're chilling nicely, but they're still ready to go if I move. And Missy was out there with them most of the time. But I didn't make her run very much for her squirrel. K-9 Knitter

Here a couple pictures of the dogs in the snow while it was still coming down, it is up to their chests and much more than they have ever seen! http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=8426950&l=caf42d78d5&id=677969201 http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=8426944&l=530a21de9a&id=677969201 The national guard has been out in force rescuing people, and the highways are closed due to all the stranded cars and semi's. They are now predicting more snow friday and Monday..YUCK!! The store shelves are empty and gas stations are running out of gas with no way to get more since the highways are still impassable. And here is my husband trying to dig out our driveway and trucks..I have never seen anything like this around here. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=8437168&l=c16d3633db&id=677969201

Statements like that elicit from me hysterical laughter and the phrase "sucks to be them". By them, I mean the National Guard.

Live it up - it is a big deal! And I think you guys in OK got just about the worst of this storm. The wind there really affects the drifting, too. I lived in OKC for a couple years and the city would shut down when we got 6 inches of snow. K-9 Knitter

I won't get on my soap box, but no one should need a better example of why they should be prepared to feed/take care of their family for a reasonable lenght of time in case of ANY emergency. Jennifer - my heart goes out to you. I know how incredibly powerful these storms can be and we can go from carefree and happy to TRAPPED in a matter of hours. Hopefully, before long, you guys are back to normal. I was saying earlier it was 70 degrees today, and it was. Tonight - back down in the 20's. Virginia is soooo weird.

It was a few hours until the storm was supposed to hit and I have never ever seen such a spectacle!
