Laugh A Day

This was a very amazing event for the low desert areas and rarely happens. We awoke to a light snow falling at 8 am January 7, 2005. By 9:30 am it had been snowing steadily and was beginning to pile up everywhere. The residents of my daughter’s housing development were all coming out to experience this unusual desert event. By noon there was 6 inches in some areas and everyone was out playing in the snow...all of us were trying to shovel our driveways! It was a difficult task with NO snow shovel and many resident’s vehicles were slipping and sliding down their driveways from the wet snow.

I started taking photos around 8:30 am. The snow had been falling lightly but steady since 8:00 am

I let Susie Q take a little walk to experience the snow, she tippy toed around holding up her paws every now and then. It was hilarious!

She kept trying to smell through the snow and then would raise her head and shake it vigorously!

How curious she was with this cold wet stuff!

I am sure she could not imagine what this stuff was!
