Taking Bets - Did I Ask for It or What?

Forty inches in Four Days expected in the mountains.   MANY of you said "Be Careful What You Wish For!"

Winter Storm Warning now in effect.  I am taking bets.  The Closest in guessing how much snow we actually will get as measured by inches at the local Ski Resort will get a New Nylabone from me, the SCRAPSTER!  Will the meteorologists be right or wrong?  Apparently, our weather is almost impossible to predict....Many of our storms go south and JUST miss us completely.  (Let's hope not though, because we need this for sure!)

Those weather people never seem to get the forecast right.  Where is my furiend Schmitty The Weather Dog when you need an experienced weather reader?

In preparation for the Big Storm, I  am doing the following things....

Trying out my new winter parka (again) just because I look pretty good in it and it's very warm!



This morning, I took a survey of the back yard, checking out all the places and smells I won't get to after all that deep snow arrives!  




                                                             Getting Shovel Ready....

See the snow flakes starting?
                                Well, usually I just Supervise that shoveling from IN Here


                                                            sometimes BARKING orders!

                        And Now I am Hunkering down for the Four Days of Waiting



Be sure and leave your prediction in the comments section below.  Winner will be announced Saturday!

And maybe, just maybe....if you are better at forecasting than the weather people here,
then you can become the SnowStormin Predictor Dog!

  2. Well, I'll try 19 inches seeing as how I've never seen snow before but 19 sounds like a nice number, right? Just don't go out and get buried in it, ok?

  9. That parka sure does look warm but not as warm and cozy as that amazing bed. I'd be terrible at guessing on this because we don't get snow here in the good ol' South, and sometimes I think that's a good thing BOL. :)

  10. Be prepared. Be very prepared. Scrappy you're so cute! Can I give you a pinch?

    Mine would be 13 inches because it's my lucky number. Calculations and scientific assumptions aside.

    Huggies and Cheese,

  11. Let's see - I lived in Great Falls - we'd get a lot of snow but didn't last long; if you live near the ski area, you wil get about 15" - my guess. Have a great time but be careful out there!
