It seems that Mother Nature turned on the snow machine and forgot to turn it off.  It has snowed now for the past 5 days . . . . . not huge amounts, just enough to keep the roads slippery.   We received another 1.5 inches yesterday and we now have 5 inches of ground cover.  There is another system heading our way for the weekend but temps are expected to be warm enough that much of the precip should be rain.  I have to go out and shovel every morning for my dogs.  Being dachshunds, they have an aversion to going out in any amount of snow, especially when their little bellies drag in it.  I guess I can’t blame them.
