Snowpocalypse

I'm sure by now all my friends around the U.S. and maybe even the world at large have heard about the humongous amount of snow that is hammering my 'hood. Yep, the Nation's Capitol— Washington, DC—is gettin' blizzarded with a predicted 30" of powdery white stuff.

The locals are calling this Snowmagegddon, Blizz-kreig, Snowtorious B.I.G. and my favorite, Snowpocalypse.

It all started yesterday morning. It's mid-afternoon and it's still coming down! Whoopeee for me, cause you all know I love to swim. In fact, my Herding Group entry picture in the awesome Mango Minster contest shows me dock diving on a lovely summer day.

We're months away from even thinking about a swim. But I took one look outside, put on my thinking cap and invented a new sport—snow swimming!

Watch the fun I had at 8 am and see for yourself how much white stuff has blanketed my world. Oh, and that's my long-time girlfriend Caña who came down the street to play.

Like me, she likes it rough!

That snow swimming is awesome, Fenway!

We heard about the incredible amountof snow you're having. Thanks for actually showing us!

BTW, Fenway, never you mind about Caña being an older lady! Who wouldn't fall for YOU?

Woofs,
Tommy

Fenway! You can jump just like a rabbit! I wish we could come play in your snow. You are SOOOOOO lucky. I hope your Mom doesn't have to drive in it though :(

Kisses,

Whew! Fenway, I have a feeling you took a long nap by the fire after all that! It looks like it would be lots of fun, but very tiring!

What a great video!! Looks like our snow in Virginia! Hollydog jumps in the snow like that but she doesn't have a friend to play with. I'm glad you have a girlfriend!! Debbie and Hollydog

I bet you are tired now for sure. You two kind of pounded down the snow there. Who needs a plow?

Love the video! We didn't get that much with the first blizzard - but we made up for it last week with over 20" in the city! Of course, it's all GONE by now - so sad!

Are you ready for THIS year? No snow yet here in upstate NY, but I hear the Massachusetts has already had some flakes... You'll be snow-swimming sooner rather than later!
