A foot of snow was dumped on us in Central Ohio and I spent many hours yesterday helping some of my neighbors get dug out. I live in an older neighborhood and most of my neighbors are over fifty so I figured I could use the exercise.  But the ultimate indignity? Having to shovel little puppy paths for my dachshund, Bella, a.k.a. Satan. When she runs out into the snow all I could see is her tail sticking up.Yes, I need to get photos and share the hilarity.So here’s the plan! Comment to this post (or email to wilder @ jcwilder.com) with your favorite stuck-in-the-house activity and be entered to win either a free copy of Tactical Pleasure or Tactical Maneuver from my Men of S.W.A.T. collection.
I will be giving away a slew of ebooks over the next two days so keep checking back. |

The indignities a dachsund must endure during winter. We have about a foot of snow (taken 8:30am) and the conditions are actually getting worse. I’ve been listening to the scanner and the police have been sliding around town pulling and pushing people out of the snow.
DUDE – STAY HOME -and quit calling the pizza places. No one’s life is worth getting a pie for you!

Bella is cowering under the chair. She’s a weenie dog so she’s in danger of being buried alive. She hates it when her belly gets wet.
Here is Maddie running through the snow on Friday around 2pm. We had about 3 – 4 inches down.
The weather has disintegrated into white out conditions. What cracks me up are the people who are on the radio complaining about the weather.
People…it’s WINTER. These things happen in the WINTER.
Personally, I love the snow and can’t wait to get out in it.

I love a good storm. My mother likes to tell the story of a tornado warning when I ran outside to watch it rather than take cover – I think I was maybe five at the most. It just so happened that during the tornado warning my second cousin and his wife were visiting and he was a photographer. I vividly remember standing outside in the street with Jim, the wind was whipping at my hair and clothes while he took photos of the tornado.
Of course Mom was quite annoyed with both of us but she’s a Mom, they’re genetically predisposed to disapproval at all costs. (or so it seemed at that age)
The weatherman is predicting 8-12 inches of snow here in Central Ohio. We’ll see. Its rare we get that much snow at one time. Sometimes I have to ask, why bother? It’s going to be in the upper forties by Tues/Wednesday so its only going to melt anyway. While we may get snow, we rarely keep it for more than a few days. There’s nothing more sad than melting snow and hybernating brown grass peaking through the bare spots.
