Goodness it just kept on snowing that winter and we are usually pretty sheltered here.  I was stuck in the house for days on end.  Harry was constantly digging the snow away so that he could get to work and he helped me keep a path clear on the patio in order to feed and water the birds.  Even letting the dog out during the day was a problem as the doors open outwards and the snow was in the way.  It does look great though and I love that sound of absolute silence when the snow is falling slowly and heavily with huge snowflakes..
