First Snow with my Snow Dogs….

Siberian Huskies...We had our first snow yesterday.  As usual we were told to expect the storm of the century, so I did what everyone else in Westchester was doing…got groceries, hoarded salt, made sure I had a good shovel and hunkered down.    Seriously,  the way we treat snow storms around here one would think that no one had ever heard of snow plows and other modern marvels that actually make it possible for you to be back in the real world within 24 hours.  Nevertheless, the storm and  subsequent dig-out gave me some quiet time with my canine family.   I have two Siberain Huskies and a husky mix who for obvious reasons LOVE the snow.  The colder the better and the heavier the snow fall, the happier they are.   So after spending quality time with my shovel and salt, I spent some time outside with Buddy, Jade & Tundra.   They had a great time tearing up the yard.  To get good pictures however they had to stand still…I got a few shots of them running, but most of that passed by my camera in a blur!

For the stills here is a link to Siberians in the Snow on Flickr.

Enjoy the video and  Happy Holidays.

Ruthmarie, it looks like they were having a great time in the snow. Our dogs wouldn't set foot in it here. Have a good Holiday!

Ruthmarie,

Great collage.  I love coming on your blog for the writing but also the memories of Westchester County.  I loved my time living in South Salem:)

Hi Mark,

You know - folks were calling me for showings that day....But I have a long driveway that goes into a busy street.  I have no choice but to wait to be plowed out...so I coudn't go out until late in the day. 

 

Hi Roy,

I hear the MD and DC really got whacked!

Hi Dianne,

They are great pals and we have a lot of fun together.

Hi Michael,

Siberians LIVE for winter - they just LIVE for it.  WHen they see the snow - they think - "OUR TIME FOR FUN!"  I think it depends on the breed.

 

Hi Bob,

No I haven't.  But upstate where these guys come from, the breeder does some sled runs and she has watched skijoring.

 

Hi Rebecca,

Not showing more than the snow today - and of course the dogs!  South Salem is great.  Only trouble with it is that commuting isn't too easy from there.

All 3 of your lovely dogs look right at home in the snow -- very playful and having a ball.
