And we got only a little bit of rain.  North of Baltimore they were
warning about the possibility of frozen rain, but nothing of the sort
here.

Our Sheltie liked the snow and would bound around in it.  He had such a
thick undercoat, he could not get wet -- even if you put him into a tub
of water:-}}  BUT, he would come in with little ice/snow balls frozen in
his belly fur.  That was a mess!

We have a sidewalks.  The law says we have to have the sidewalk next to
the street clear within 48 hours -- even though technically it is not
our property.  And of course, even after we clear it, the snow plows
come along and cover it up again -- this time with packed salted snow
and ice, which we also have to clear out.  That last part is the most
aggravating.
