About two weeks ago, we got about 8” to 10”s of snow in south Louisiana. Being my dog was short haired, I was initially concerned he would hate it. But boy, was I wrong, it was hard to get him to even come back inside once he started playing.

It's such a magical thing when a dog sees snow for the first time!

Friend of mine had a half wolf half malamute. Took the dog on a hike up a mountain. As they crossed the snow line, the dog cautiously stepped into the snow, then bolted when he realized he was finally home.

Meanwhile in SE Michigan the most snow we've had on the ground at one point probably hasn't topped 3".

Same in NE Illinois.

I’m used to a foot of snow for most of winter, we had like 2 inches for a couple of weeks. And then freezing rain the other night.

I miss winter

Yeah, here in the Southeast we got blasted. Saw a metrologist showing off a national map with snowfall since the first of January and it was like:

  • Anchorage, Alaska: 4 inches
  • Detroit, Michigan: 5.5 inches
  • Lafayette, Louisiana 11 inches

Craziness.
