We are suppose to get 12-18 inches of snow in this part of Michigan... Looks like Izzy will be back to using pee pads for awhile.. She hates going outside when it's really cold.. she'll just hold it..lol

We're with you! This will be our first real snow storm this year! My boys already use pads, but go out for a walk twice a day. I wonder what they'll think of so much

Mom to Hot Rod · 01-31-2011, 07:11 PM

Yikes! We're supposed get some nasty weather here too. Luckily mine use pads. We also keep a couple of pads in hubby's garage and they "go out" several times throughout the night and use them in bad weather.

Hubby also puts a tarp down (when we're expecting snow) and then pulls it up in the morning. This way he doesn't have to snow blow or shovel a spot. He just needs to clear a path to the area.

my2boyz · 01-31-2011, 07:33 PM

Yep, we're getting it in central Illinois too

I wanted to make a mad dash for our house in Florida but we would have to drive right through the ice part of this one...unless we took the Western route and went through Arizona!

Ugh, I am not looking forward to this! Snow is one thing but freezing rain, ice, sleet, ewww! How annoying. Earlier today I shoveled piles of snow into our screened in porch (uncarpeted) and I'm going to try to get Jackson to go out there so I don't have to walk in the sleet, lol. He may not go in there but I'm sure going to try.

Here in the DFW area of Texas we are expecting ice, sleet and snow for tomorrow. And real COLD weather. They say Tuesday night we are supposed to get to 10 degree's. Yikes !!!

I do think the Steeler's and the Packer's brought this weather with them when both teams landed today at DFW Airport. LOL

alinkc · 02-01-2011, 10:26 AM

Yep were getting it here too! I have to sweep a path every time we go out because neither one will step foot in it! Once out its a race to see who can finish 1st and get back in! LOL

Oh - sorry to hear that!! My Miami born and raised daughter just moved to Austin.. hope she can deal with the weather!

Cha Cha · 02-01-2011, 10:42 AM

It's here now! And if it has not started there yet, it's not fun. -19 windchill, blowing winds of 30 mph, visibility less than 1/4 mile and drifts are forming. It is supposed to move out here today and leave even colder winds behind. It stinks!!!

my2boyz · 02-01-2011, 10:44 AM

This is funny...

You know how the weather channel shows your forcast day by day and they will show for Monday a sun and Tuesday clouds with little snow flakes...well...ours for Wednesday just says 'blizzard' with no little picture! I just thought that was funny...

Suze225 · 02-01-2011, 11:08 AM

Well, I wish you the best of luck with your blizzard, but very glad we don't have them here in Phoenix. LOL About 65 today and sunny.

Bella loves to use potty pads, and actually prefers them to going outside. Probably because when we trained her it was soooooooooo hot outside that it wasn't much fun to go out, for ANY of us.

lexi43 · 02-01-2011, 03:44 PM

I can't stand it anymore. The front of our home looks like the Swiss alps the snow is so high and now it's gonna really freeze over. SUMMER GET HERE FAST!!!!!!!

roseslevi · 02-01-2011, 03:51 PM

I am with you all.....We got more snow today all the schools in the area got sent home half day. The beauty of living on the coast is that the snow turns into rain and then you are shoveling 6 inches of heavy wet slush. My arms are killing me! No More Snow ...we are full!

teacup0819 · 02-01-2011, 03:55 PM

Yep...everything here is pretty much icing over...yech! We already got a phone call that we may have a delayed opening or no school tomorrow...they will let us know at 5am.

lynnelily · 02-01-2011, 04:17 PM

I'm here in Michigan to and not looking forward to this blizzard. I'm glad mine use pee pads. They love playing in the snow but this is going to be to deep.
