Ice Storm! (dog and non-dog)

Ewwwwwwwwwww, ice storms!  I HATE them.  It looks like Kenya & Coke don't mind them too much though.

haha looks familiar. Except now it's fog fog fog fog every where!

Your dogs are so beautiful!  Even in an ice storm!  When were these taken?  We went bowling last night (Sat.night) and when we went out to the car we had that freezing rain, crap!  It was all over the car, on the roads, etc.  I hate that stuff!  Give me snow, give me rain, but don't give me frozen rain! 

Nice pics!

Thanks!

They were all taken around my yard/house in Grand Rapids/Kentwood, Michigan.  We had a few inches of snow, and then last night the ice started coming down around 8pm.  It sleeted during the night, but then the temperature got warmer, so this morning (when I took the pics) everything was covered in a layer of wet ice and it was foggy.  It got foggier during the day and by this afternoon, I couldn't see the back of my yard.

The funny thing is, DH and I had planned a massive grocery run for last night and decided to still go even with the "treacherous driving" forecast.  It paid off because Target was basically empty!!  That's unheard of for a Saturday during the holiday season. I spent $227 in groceries and supplies *faints*, but we're hosting a dinner party for my work, I am always commissioned to make Chex Mix and Puppy Chow (I bought 14 boxes of Chex cereal, lol), needed a baby gate for the dogs, three bags of expensive shrimp, yadda yadda.  We've vowed to always go shopping during winter storms!

I'm sure in PA you also get some Lake Effect.  They've predicted really bad Lake Effect for west Michigan this season because the water was very warm all summer and will fuel any systems crossing Lake Michigan.

I'm so jealous that you have snow and winter weather! I hate that almost every day is a sunny day here, even in the winter. I want snow!!

*spits drink*  Be glad you don't get S.A.D!!  Michigan averages 1-2 days with sun in November and December.  It snows until the end of April.  During this time, everything is just gray. You can't tell where the sky ends and the earth begins.  Next month, the snow will turn to "snirt" - snow that becomes charcoal colored because it never melts but gets coated in filthy run-off. I've known more than one person who's had to move or get drugs and therapy because of the weather.  At least in most areas of CA you're still relatively close to snowy mountains if you're into that.  I have to drive 18 hours each way in April (annual "mental health" vacation, lol) to get to the coast where it is warm and sunny.

I like the "Ice on..." series.
