BLIZZARDTIME

Offically we have 19" of snow but I am not sure, at our house, that we have that much. Nevertheless it is a substantial amount, and with the wind it has drifted badly. Keeping the doors clear has proven to be a monumental task.
I went out at 4:30 a.m. to shovel paths (very short ones) for the dogs.
When Conley went out he decided he wanted one of his own and to my total horror he struck out across the yard, with the determination that only a Basset can have, to blaze a trail.
He is not feeling well because I forgot and loaded him with vaccines yesterday instead of breaking them into small groups. So his entire rear was sore and he looked as if he ached all over. He spent last night voluntarily in his crate, and so far this morning, that was where he had been until I gave him a Deramaxx. Now he is more mobile.
Anyway here is our blizzard altho, honestly, you do not get the whole picture and the depth of the snow is somehow less impressive:

My Van. It is going to be there awhile.

Llewis in the lead, surprisingly, patient (for once) Nigel close behind, following (wallowing) along in Conley's path through the yard.

Cooper starts and then thinks about it and changes his mind. It would exhaust him to go that far through such deep snow with only 3 legs.

Conley checking to see if possible there is less snow where I am than there is where he is. It is the same.
