Last night we got about 5 inches of snow, and its supposed to snow all day. Could end up with at total of 10 inches by this evening. Then the temperature is going to drop and the winds are going to pick up. They are calling for 3-4 foot drifts on side roads and country roads.
However the weather last night was perfect for a long walk. About 28º outside, snowing heavily with big soft flakes and no wind. We spent about an hour walking and playing. Nemo likes it when I kick snow at him, it riles him up and he runs crazy Shiba 500's in the snow.
we are at about 30 right now - 31 is the high for today we are having snow flurries and lots of wind, so it looks worse than it is - however, most of it melts as it hits the ground Tomorrow we're supposed to hit the 40's, so anything that sticks will be gone anyways...
it was 12 degrees last night. 25 degrees now. However it is supposed to get up to 47 later and 58 tomorrow. Mother nature is schizophrenic in New England.
Miso will only poop on the beach which is always 10 degrees colder and much windier than anywhere else...so I was freezing last night, in full tundra gear, saying "C'mon buddy, poop please, momma needs to get home!".
***Chris my husband usually walks the dogs and is from New England so he is more tolerant of the weather than this CA girl, but since he is away on business I had to take Miso out for his nightly poop and let me tell you, NO FUN!
Brandon: Do you every put a sweater or anything like that on Nemo when it gets really cold? Since Lucy has lost so much body mass she's been visibly cold even when its in the mid to upper 30s and I know there's colder weather around the corner. I'm thinking about trying to find her a fleece jacket are something like that.
Dave - Nemo does not wear clothes, ever. Wearing "things" is far below his standard of acceptability. I tried to make him a pack dog once, he refused to move while it was on him, and he looked like he wanted to die. When I put a fleece coat on him once (my mom bought it) he flipped around and tried to rip it off, so I gave it to Whizzer who loves it. The only protection he has from the cold is Musher's Secret for his paws. He usually has a nice thick coat by the end of the winter. I'm not sure I've ever seen him shiver, only raise his paws off the ground.
There are a lot of options for dog coats, I'm sure you can find a nice one for Lucy pretty easily.
I tried putting a coat on Miko since she still hasn't fully grown back her coat post spay, and is still growing in her adult coat a bit. She reacted like I was setting her on fire. I bet Lucy would be lovely in a coat.
Miso Loves clothes and will wear sweaters, coats, anything you put on him (except the damn santa hat I have been trying to get pictures in!).
When I put Sake's coat on her for our walks she flops over and pulls the "ive lost all use of my limbs" routine. Once we get going she walks okay but every once in a while she will walk funny as if too say "this dumb jacket is imparing my leg movement!"
21 degrees here in Omaha, 9 degrees with the wind chill. My yorkipoo hates the cold weather. I took Kiyoshi outside and lunch and he seems to love it. He was laying in the grass like it was 75 degrees outside. He'll be out there alone though.
it is presently 57 F here in New England. WTF? Then down to the 30's Tuesday and Wednesday and back up to the 40's after that. Wonder why everyone I know is sick?....
Right there with you all: 2 degrees currently (-8 with wind chill), 15 degrees yesterday, it was 64 degrees Saturday We're supposed to be up to 48 degrees by Friday
Today the high is supposed to 60ºF with the low at 52º
Here's our week: Monday Hi 60º Low 52º Tuesday Hi 68º Low 55º Wednesday Hi 70º Low 55º Thursday Hi 73º Low 57º Friday Hi 67º Low 54º Saturday Hi 67º Low 53º Sunday Hi 58º Low 32º - This is our next scheduled meetup, figures!
I'd be more than happy to swap, but for this I must have snow on Christmas! I can only remember having one white christmas in my 35 years. I'd love to see one again without having to leave my state to do so.

I bet your bunch was stoked to get that much snow.
It has warmed up here today, right now it is about 50 degrees and raining. But it is supposed to cool back down tomorrow.
This morning it was 0º and with the windchill it was -18º.
Heidi - I blame Canada. Please only let the 20 degree air travel south, this subzero business is no good.
On Saturday the high was 25 degrees
Sunday the high was near 40
Today it's supposed to be near 60
But we are going to have a snow storm on Wednesday...
