We had 18 or more inches of snow this past weekend and now we are experiencing another storm as we speak. It started around 7 pm and is still gowing this morning and snow fall will continue late into the night! We expect another 20 or so inches!
Needless to say, this doesn’t stop the dogs. I wanted to get a picture this morning and then compare it to later this afternoon to see how high it is. Delta posing nicely in the snow above.
Rain, snow or sleet, this dog loves being out!
You can see it is coming down rather thickly here in Pennsylvania. I think this has been by far the most snowfall we have gotten in years and also with snow storms so close in timing. I wish I could teach my dogs how to shovel the sidewalk and driveway! LOL!
Unfortunately, the sheep haven’t been out of the barn since the weekend as it has been too high for them to forage for pasture and certainly I think our little lamb, Ebony, would have a hard time trying to get through it.
Arla & Delta
You can see here at the dogs feet, new snow fall is up already – this was where our sidewalk was shoveled – we are going to be able to make some awesome snowmen with this snow!

Wow, the snow is coming down even thicker and already we have picked up a few inches more! Kids and dogs loving it!
My son trying to sled in the deep snow!
Aiko making sure my son is ok!
All dogs checking on sled boy!
The kids are so excited that they finally got a full snow day off! Wow, what fun to play in the snow with the dogs!
Here are a few shots just to show the snow is really starting to get much higher and it’s only been a few hours since my first pictures!
Delta von der Kleinen Wiese - she found a toy and she's not letting go!
You can see the snow is already up to their shoulders. We hadn’t seen this red toy in her mouth in about a week, but Delta found it somewhere in the snow! What a nose!
Aiko & Arla
Here Arla and Aiko are just standing by the bank barn in the snow. It’s up so high you can’t even hardly move well and it’s above my boots! Yikes, This snow is going to be around for a while.
Aiko von der Kleinen Wiese
Aiko – he is just watching the girls all running around in the snow, while he faithfully follows me to the barn – what a boy! We went in the barn to find all the sheep just hanging out in the barn watching the snow come down.
Ebony - she is always the first to come up to the gate to greet us!
All the sheep are just gathered around in the barn – some have snow atop of their backs because they are always so curious to go outside and check things out.

I took some shots of the road side and the front of the house – it is just beautiful – but UG, I am not ready to shovel this stuff yet and it is not stopping until wee hours of the night tonight! Thank goodness for the warmth of our woodburning stove cooking away and keeping us warm. Tonight I am sure we’ll watch a movie and have some popcorn!
Aiko, Delta and Arla in the front yard!
The snow is almost up to our front steps and our house sits on a hill! I just was listening to the news and they said we are now having blizzard warning! Gee – could we have any more snow!
Winter Wonderland!
Looking across the road to our sheep herding field.
Our little Blue Bird house - you can see the snow stacked up!
Delta covered in the thickness of the snow!
Aiko von der Kleinen Wiese - Gate Greeting!
After I crossed the road to take some pictures, there was my good ole boy, Aiko, just waiting to greet me! The dogs are so funny, even though your with them 24/7, they greet you at the gate like they haven’t seen you all week – just wagging their tails and giving you a big slurpy kiss!

Ok, I know this post is going on forever, but so is the snow. My pictures are steadily getting worse as the snow is very thick and continually coming down hard and furious! This is some storm and we are not out of the woods yet – it is supposed to snow into the night way past our bedtime, so we’ll have to get some pictures tomorrow morning if we can open our door.
The dogs can’t even make much of a path now, it is so high and difficult to move in.
Follow the leader - my husband cuts a trail for the dogs as he walks.
Same shot as taken hours earlier - were at about 18 inches now!
We took the dogs out for a little walk around the yard instead of the pasture as it is just too difficult to walk through and it is above my boots! My son wanted me to add his picture to show how high it is out there (I think he is on his knees, LOL.)
I am hoping by nightfall, when we have our usual snowball fight, that we will be able to get out and walk.
Delta and Aiko - standing in the dug out section.
Well that’s all for now until tomorrow! The schools have already called and school is cancelled again for tomorrow. Another snow day – bonus day I guess you could say! I think it will be a while till we are all dug out. Forget the snow plows, haven’t seen them for a while. Just snow mobiles going up and down the road!
