Wordless Wednesday - Window to the Storm

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!

Winter Wonder Where the Snow All Landed

                                             It's the shortest winter on record.  It came.....

and now it's gone...

I go out every day and hope....

It's a Winter Wonder Where the Snow All  Landed

Word is...it apparently all landed in Cordova, Alaska

The National Guard's been called in.

They've reportedly received fifteen feet since November.

Roofs are caving in.  Twent eight days of school have been missed.

A Russian Ice Breaker is trying to get much needed fuel to Nome.

A Rare Glimpse

Here it is...that rare glimpse of the ONE I am magnetically drawn to...

http://coffeecanine.blogspot.com/2012/01/sherri-scrappy.html

today, though I am people-sitting her as she is feeling under the weather.  It's an important job and I will be keeping vigil all day long!  Snuggling and Cuddling is the plan today...probably won't be able to comment away much on your posts today:(   Please forgive me!  I will catch up when she is feeling better!

Feel free to comment here or over at Coffee With a Canine where she spills the goods on me!

Now...back to people-sitting...A Dog's work is never done!

On the Podium - Sort Of

all worn out after Christmas and New Year's

Over the holidays...in the middle of all the craziness, I received another Liebster Award from Christine at http://brandoandbogart.blogspot.com/.   Thank You,  Thank You!

I am honored and thrilled!  Being that I am barely over the blogging 100 day mark,  this really is pretty special.

Some of you may have read about my dream to be an Olympic skier.  Over Christmas, somehow that post amazingly became this blog's most popular one to date.  "Wow" is all I can say to that!  For me, wanting to ski merely stemmed from little ole me being sad to always get left at home ALONE while the rest of the family heads to the mountain for a big adventure. 

Coat was Kootenai 's Christmas Gift to me.  Doggles from Santa:)

I may never win an Olympic Medal for skiing....A Dog Can still Dream....Mom gets alittle carried away sometimes...she put a medal around my neck and put me up on the podium with all my new gear - still don't have the skis or boots...and then she started singing the National Anthem and snapped this silly photo.  She told me after receiving all these awards, I  deserved a stand on the podium....oh dear...Sarge, I  think my mama peep might just be a Flake!

Back to the most recent Award....

Again, thank you Christine!
