Bye Bye Snow

Standard

So we survived yet another snow – I know that probably sounds ridiculous to those of you who live north of us here in Virginia – you endure BIG snows every winter……..here in Northern Virginia, NOT SO MUCH.    We have had bad blizzards and in fact got one this year but most winters really are not very snowy.    We had our second decent snow this week and it’s already almost melted away into oblivion!    YAY I say………….now I can get to the grass for a munch!

YAY - it's almost all melted away!!

YAY – it’s almost all melted away!!

Yesterday we had a sheet of ice over everything………….it was like an ice rink out there…………but the temps got into the 40s and soon the ice was gone.   Even more melting today with temps tickling 50!    Can Spring be far behind?   I sincerely hope not.    I am not a “winter kitty”……….I used to like snow but now I’m much happier in warmer weather!

You’ve seen these photos of me before but everyone just loves when I post them so I’ll post them YET AGAIN………………….just to prove I really DID love snow when I was younger!

Six years ago!

When I complain about the rain, remind me of this!

Anyway, Spring is coming – I just know it.   I’ll be ready for it too……………..

Yes I’ll be MUCH happier with flowers around me instead of snow!!!!!

I’m READY for you Miss Spring!

Hugs, Sammy

    • Spring will be here soon that’s for sure………at least Mom keeps telling me that and I believe her – she does tell the occasional “white lie” but most of the time she’s “spot on” !!!!

      Happy Thursday!

  1. Yes we do love those pictures Sammy! Could we be so lucky and spring be on the way??? It is supposed to be in the 60’s today but drop back into the 30’s for the week-end. Hopefully we will get some window wiffies when Mom comes home from work! Have a great day!

  2. Hi Sammy! LOOK at you in that snow! My mom is not able to let me put into it to experience it because we live right at a very busy street that serves as the Indianapolis Speedway when not used otherwise. xoxox

    • You need to be INSIDE………I’m up on a hill and there’s woods behind our house……so no street close by……nowadays though I stay INSIDE most of the time – just little short walks with my Mom once in a while!!

      STAY SAFE

    • That’s the big problem really -if you’re not used to snow and you have snow, nobody knows how to handle it on the roads……that happens here too – there are a lot of people who travel THRU Washington, DC and they’re the ones who get stuck out on the highways when we get a snow. Oh well…..Spring will be here soon…….I hope!

  3. I love those photos of you playing in the snow. I guess you really did like it back then. I am glad everything is melting- ice is the worst, so dangerous. Have a nice day. XO

  5. It snowed one day here last week – for about an hour. But it did not stick, unfortunately. Since we so rarely see snow at all in Georgia, we are always hoping for a snow day!!! Though we aren’t winter fans either, we would like just one snow day before spring comes!!!

  6. As the saying goes, Sammy: “From your mouth to God’s ears.” It was warmer here yesterday than today and lots of the snow melted, but there’s still plenty as we got about another 11 inches. This weekend is supposed to be around 60 degrees so that should help. Stay snuggly and warm in Mom Pam’s lap! XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

  8. We had SUMMER here for a while, and I don’t mean just me! The temperatures were in the upper 80s and even a bit over 90 for about a week or so – that was too warm even for my human for this time of year.

  9. I am ready for spring too, Sammy. We haven’t had snow but have had so much rain that I told dad that he needs to think about building an ark.
    I used to be like you and enjoyed playing in the snow on the rare occasions we had it when I was younger. Now I prefer to stay indoors in the warm.

    • Oh an ark would be FUN….! All those anipals on board……floating around on the water…….although that would be tiresome after a while! I want PERFECT weather – I guess that’s asking for too much though!

  11. Wish our snow would leave us. But there is hope we the temperatures should be above freezing the next week or so. That should help get rid of some of the snow. We loved that last picture you posted – it was either Spring or Summer with the beautiful flowers.

    • Oh Siddhartha I used to just love the snow……I’d walk in Mom’s footsteps……and it was fun because she’d walk around and make “paths” for me to follow….sometimes making it like a maze – I guess it was a game and we both loved playing it but these days it’s just too cold for me out there. Our snow is ALL GONE now and today we’ll get into the 60s – BUT we have snow in our forecast this coming week for Tuesday and THursday. Oh well.

        • That’s right but Spring really WILL be here soon so we’ll just use this time we have now when it’s cold and windy and snowy to sleep and get strong and READY for Spring so we can play and enjoy fresh air again! It’s warmish here today at 53 but it’s raining. It will be a lot colder tomorrow…….I’m just sleeping on my fleece blankets and staying close to Mom. It’s the best place to be for me!
