Kudos for surviving the week and if you’re like us, you’re excitedly waiting for the weekend to begin. Welcome to today’s edition of Nature Friday where we join our fur-iends Rosy and her brothers from LLB in Our Backyard.
While the temperature outside is the warmest it will be all day at a balmy 34F with a beautiful wet snow falling here, we thought we’d share a photo of a real snow storm from a few years ago. These kinds of storms are only in my dreams these days and can only hope we ever receive that much again.
However you spend your weekend, we hope you enjoy it.
Live, love, bark! 🐾
Monika, it’s been interesting reading about the weather over there and how different ones feel about the snow. It’s so completely beyond my experience. Of course, compounding that it’s Summer here. It’s wet here today but the rain has stopped. Just feels like a day to stay indoors.
Best wishes,
Rowena
Summer down under is one thing but the recent hot temps blew my mind. 🔥🔥🔥
We got a fairly big snow up here! What a gorgeous photo… I hope that you get that much again soon!!!!
I do too. The current storm only provided about 3-4″ but it was a wet one. Bet it’s fabulously gorgeous at 8000 ft.
Love snow, hate freezing rain! As usual, we’re getting rain. UGH. So, laundry on the agenda this weekend. Laundry, reading, and treadmill time. Maybe some nose work.
I’m with Edgar’s son, 100%, and for the exact same reasons! He and I must be kindred spirits!
I’m in that same camp. You can only go down so far before you become indecent with extra sweaters for the cold days. Stay warm and dry!
Staying in and watching football. We had freezing rain the other morning – ugh
hugs
Hazel & Mabel
Sounds like nobody enjoys freezing rain. Hope you’re staying warm and dry.
BOL!
HuMom wishes for no snow while you dream of more.
Humans are funny🐕
💜nose nudges💜
We get so little anymore and need it so much. We’ll happily accept your cast-offs.🥰
Bol🐾💜🐾
Beautiful picture of winter wonderland created from a good snowfall. Still waiting for our first real snow of 2019 at The Golden K. Have a great weekend.
Fingers crossed for you that some snow arrives soon. The dogs love dashing about in it. Happy weekend to you as well.
I’m preparing the puppy room. Have a great weekend.
Woohoo. Can’t wait to see the little beaners. Have fun.
I’m reading this post right now instead of being at work because of the snowstorm we’re getting! First snow day (Or snow night, I guess) I’ve ever taken in 20 years. Supposed to be 6-10 inches before it’s all over tonight, and I’d say it’s already easily halfway there…
Whoa! Stay safe and warm. No power outages, ya hear?
Oh, I dream of snow zoomies!!!!!! you guys are so lucky! All we gets is rain…lots and lots of rain! Okays, so we need it, butts Ma is starting to gets cranky from no sun….nobody likes a cranky Moms….stingy on the treaties! sigh.
Kisses,
Ruby ♥
Oh yes, we’ve had several snow zoomies, they make for some interesting turns. Can you say crash and burn? LOL Here’s to a weekend of tasty treats, Ruby.
We’re in for a (relatively) big rain with snow at around 6000 feet. 5 of next 7 days are rain. Yay!
That’s probably a good thing given that federal fire fighting is on hiatus I believe. Cal Fire is probably very grateful.
We’ve gotten bupkis so far and it’s kind of a bummer. We had one storm early, if you want to call it a ‘storm’- five or so inches maybe. Wow.
I was coerced into going to where the snow is for a couple days so Imma hit the slopes on Monday. It’ll be a great way to beat the Monday blahs anyway. 🙂
We’ve had mostly zilch until today. Yay! Enjoy the slopes and have a great time. ⛷🏂🛷
Oh I plan on it. Maybe I’ll do snow angels while I’m waiting for the ski lift.
Excellent! I want to see photos of that! 👼
❄👼
🏂⛷🏂⛷🛷🛷🛷
Should’ve known I couldn’t win a battle of the emojis with you Monika! 🙂
Truth be told, I was ready to surrender. 😆
Hahaha!
And we can’t even settle this with a snowball fight!
Bummer, isn’t it?!
I know right?
Truly a sad day. 😕
We would have to resort to Hostess Sno Balls . . .
Sugar? Count me in! 🍨
Booyah!!!!
WOW!! You actually have snow! We have had NONE since November! But…I heard on the news today we may FINALLY get a storm late January. I sure hope so, our weather is strange!
I know! What’s this white stuff? 😊
We’re in the midst of a snowstorm ourselves. Funny how when we’re kids, snow is the best thing ever – but as adults we can’t help dreading the white stuff no matter how beautiful it is.
It’s okay…so long as you don’t have to drive it. Stay safe and warm this weekend.
My oldest son loves the cold because when it’s cold you can add more clothing – but when it’s hot, there is only so much you can remove. For myself, cold I can tolerate, heat I can tolerate, I just get so grumpy with this constant, non stop wind. Mind you, I’m no orphan there…
I can’t stand the wind either. I think your son is right about temps. Happy weekend!
I always loved how, when there was fresh snow and a full moon, it looked like daylight at midnight. It really was magical.
Very magical indeed. 😍
What a winter wonderland, hoping you get a good dose of much needed precip there this weekend!
We hope so too. ❄️❄️❄️
Living in Quebec, snow is a part of our winter… I actually hope! And this year has been fairly pathetic thus far…(in my neck, anyway!)
It’s been dang pitiful here too. We’re at the northern tip of the Gulf Stream and have managed to miss all the storms passing through. Nothing worse than a hop-scotching Mother Nature when you live in a high mountain desert. 😁
Not everyone shares our love of snow, Monika… but I will take mountains of the white stuff to brighten up the darkness over bloody rain in winter…
Some people despise the cold (my son among them-no wonder he lives in Hawaii). I’m well aware of meteorological differences with folks.
Most of my peeps bitch about the cold All. Effing.Winter.Long. So move already. Sheesh.
Bwahaha! Love it!
⛄❄❄☃️

Thanks for the preview because your right measurable snow of the year starting during the overnight hours of Saturday morning.
Hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I am. It’s so beautiful outside and I love the muffled crunching noise along our morning walk.
I have a feeling we won’t enjoy it … but will like the looks of it.
I love snow but hate the cold so I enjoy your photos in my nice warm Texas! LOL!
Haha! I don’t mind a little cold, not weeks of it though. The snow is so beautiful and softens the noise of the city. ❄️
Wow, that’s a lot of snow. I’m not a snow person. I’m ready for spring.
Have a fabulous day and weekend. ♥
Heh, heh. I do like an occasional storm. Not Alaska snow, but a nice snow storm every once in a while is fine with me. Variety is the spice of life with weather. 🤣
Except for wind – non-stop, constant wind. I not like wind. Been like this for weeks.
It’s getting more windy here too. Think it may be connected on climate change.
SQUAAAAAWK-I’m a tropical bird.
You may want to avoid this storm-it’s pretty wet.
That looks like our yard now! We hope today’s storm is pretty for you too!
It’s so exciting that today’s storm is a wet one. Woohoo! Happy weekend.
It’s so exciting that today’s storm is a wet one. Woohoo! I love these kinds of storms. Happy weekend.
Our weekend will be NFL playoffs and curling up n warm dogs. Cannot wait.
Hope your team does well!
there is a hole in the thickest wall of snow and we can look inside to see spring and the sun :O)
Those are the best kinds of storms.❄️
Beautiful picture! Hope you get it! We are wondering when we will get any! All we had is just a touch of snow, enough to make the roads slick and then disappeared the next day. Happy Weekend to you and the gang! 🙂
To you as well. This is a wet snow which will help the trees that were sooo dry. Hope your weekend is filled with joy and fun.
It’s nice if you can stay home. DH has to go to work… I worry…
It’s a wet snow, he should be ok.
