Cody measured the snow on our patio table, and it was 6 1/2 inches. This might be a little more than what was on the ground, as the snow seems to stick to the table before it sticks on the ground. I never thought we would see this much snow here at one time. Eastern NC usually only gets an average of 2-3 inches of snow each winter season, so this was a big snow for this area!
Hershey enjoying the snow. He had been burrowing his head into the snow, which is how his face got so snowy. Cody was also throwing snowballs for him to "find". It was so funny--Hershey would go to where the snowball landed, dig in the snow to try to find the snowball, and then he would usually end up eating the snow until he got distracted by another snowball.
This was perfect snowman building weather, so Cody and I made a snowman in our front yard. I think he turned out pretty cute!
Cody made a big batch of snow cream, which he enjoyed all by himself. (I'm not really a snow cream fan. It's too much like plain vanilla icecream.)
Hershey had an appointment to get groomed on Saturday, and thankfully the roads were clear enough for us to still make the appointment since he really needed a haircut. Each time he get his haircut, he gets a special treat from PetSmart for being such a good boy--usually a new toy, a bone, or a bag of treats. This time, he got a snow coat and snow boots since they were on sale for 75% off. (I'm sure this wouldn't have been his first choice for a "treat" but he doesn't really mind wearing them.) He loves the snow so much, but he can't stay out long because he gets so cold he shivers. So hopefully this will help him stay warmer so he can play a little longer in the snow. Isn't he so cute in his new haircut and coat?
Hershey's snow boots!
