Ohm Emma absolutely loves it! She'll be sad when summer gets here, but she'll be the only one.
Lewis does fine until it gets down to about 20 below ... we did a couple walks last week when the temperature was just a little below zero, and he had no problem at all. Harder for him to find sticks to carry, though. :)
That pile of snow in the foreground is between the street and the sidewalk ... it built up over the winter, mostly from my shoveling the sidewalk. The roof actually. melts off every once in a while, though ...
The one thing I can tell from that photo (and from past experience living in Saskatchewan and in northern British Columbia) is that somebody had to shovel that driveway (or at least push a snow blower through it.) Are you that somebody?
39.6c here today - I'd welcome a bit of your snow :)
Because of you, my eyes always open when I hear a mention of Montana on the news. That spy balloon hovering over Montana because it's a site of nuclear weapons silos:((( I realise that the silos wouldn't be news to you but they were to me. I don't know what's worse; that the Chinese are spying on your back yard or that you have missile silos in your back yard.
Oh, I would definitely swap weather with you right now ... at least for a few days. :)
The Chinese spy balloon story is just a little ridiculous, but of course that's all we're talking about in Montana right now. I didn't see it, though friends of friends allegedly did, and we've all been noticing more US military aircraft in the sky out here the last few days.
The nuclear missile silos have been a fact of life up here for 60 years now, and we honestly don't think about them much. (There are 150 of them in the state.) I'll actually admit to a little bit of morbid fascination with the whole thing, and I guess I figure that when society deteriorates to the point where those missiles get launched, it won't really matter much specifically where those silos are located. :/

I think that it does matter to a certain extent and in that regard you are in a much better position than me. Montana will be on the hit list so you'll have a very quick, don't know what hit you, ending.
Meanwhile here in Perth by the sea I'll be outside awaiting the arrival to Australia of the deadly radiation cloud coming from the Northern Hemisphere. The radiation cloud that is going to give me an extremely painful, drawn out, suffering death.
That scenario was outlined in the novel On The Beach that was written by Nevil Shute in 1957 after he migrated to Australia. I don't know if you have read it.
Sometimes Mark it's hard be upbeat and happy in this world of ours, but you've just got to fake it until you make it. Keep thinking 'be happy' and you end up feeling happy :))

However, I think that Lewis might need boots and a jacket.

I'll vote for an Early Spring. Like sometime in the next couple of weeks, perhaps.

But there's probably another three months of snow in store, at least occasionally. We northerners have to be brave1
