This morning when I opened the back door to let the dogs out, I had to get the shovel and shovel a path through the 3 feet of snow banked up to my door.
Before getting the shovel, I tried using the front door which was much better as it is on a covered porch.
Unfortunately, the dog disappeared in the snow when he jumped of the porch. (I was doing them one at a time as the front is not fenced.)
I was in my nightie and robe holding a leash. I reeled the dog back in out of the deep drift and cleaned him off and headed back to the back door. Shovelled a path (after getting properly dressed) and both dogs were grateful but soon came back in. The snow was not as deep in the back as at the front.
It looks like temps will rise after Jonas blows through, so I'm going to wait for the rest to melt (except for the necessary doggie path!)
