When I went to sleep Sunday night it was lightly snowing and eight hours later, when I woke up, there was more than two feet of snow on the ground.
It was such a bad storm the house plants were drooping like they were ducking a punch.
Of course, I did not go outside.
I do not do manual labor like shoveling and I do not walk in the snow like an animal.
What is the most extreme weather you have experienced?
SNow up to and over our bellies, along with -18F temps...that is grueling to our paws and our whole physique!
ReplyDeleteHere in the swamps, last year's snow and cold was the worst we'd ever had, but it really wasn't that bad compared to what the rest of the country gets. Our worst weather is hurricanes (shudder).
ReplyDeletea storm where the trashcans had a race on the street... but boy there was a lot of good food everywhere...sadly we had to stay inside...
ReplyDeleteMy very first blizzard and today, we will find out if it's too deep for me to play in. Mom will shovel a spot first before she lets me find out for myself.
ReplyDeleteI have to say I'm grateful we only got a few inches out of this particular storm. However we did have to go out and shovel the driveway in order to get to the veterinarian yesterday morning. Our big storm was about a month ago when we got our two feet in one night. Get this winter over.
ReplyDeleteWe had that nasty hurricane and we don't want another!
ReplyDeleteBack in 2010 we got really, really bad snow. The whole of Scotland was at a standstill for 4 days! There was a bad storm a few years ago with really high winds and it was a red weather alert. That was scary.
ReplyDeleteA hurricane for me. It was in my youth and it was most scary.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and week. ♥

ReplyDeleteRuby, hope that snow melts away sooner rather than later!
ReplyDeleteI recall helping a neighbor to shovel snow in -70 windchill.
Was very young and stupid back then.
Now I'm mature and stupid.
We have not have significant rain since fall 2025. Our water table is 11" deficit
ReplyDeleteBut we are getting small amounts inch here and here.

That's a lot of Ruby's!
ReplyDeleteI have been lucky during my PA Days!

Wish we had that much snow. That would from the pups here, not the Momster. The worst we have probably seen is the threat of tornadoes with pretty bad t-storms and hail and wind.

Xena: It would be the year the snow was taller than me. I got to watch my Auntie Jen and my fur Brother Adam make a snowman.
ReplyDeleteChia: Uh, maybe a bad thunderstorm?
Your part of Massachusetts got a lot more than us- we got 10 inches.
ReplyDeleteI remember many blizzards when we lived in Michigan but nothing compares to Category 5 Hurricane Ian that did $90,000 in damage to our new house. I think I would take snow any day over another hurricane. The one bad thing about living in "paradise".
ReplyDeleteOh, when I was a kid, I delivered newspapers in a blizzard.
ReplyDeleteLulu: "Our Dada says that when he and Mama lived in New York, they were on their way to the mall when some really nasty looking black and green clouds started racing their way. They got to the mall just ahead of the storm and ran inside just as it started hailing like crazy with some of them the size of golf balls. Later on they drove home and saw houses with broken windows and shredded siding, like somebody had come through and machine-gunned the entire neighborhood!"
