– Study in Black and White –

December 8, 2003 – The first major snowstorm of the season hit the northeastern United States this past weekend with a mighty wallop. Two to four feet of fresh snow, accompanied by strong winds and frigid temperatures, hammered most of New England. The deepest reported snowfall – 47 inches – occurred at Pinkham Notch, New Hampshire. Wow!!!

I was born and raised in Rochester, New York, but I moved "way down south" 25 years ago. There was a lot of snow each winter in upstate New York. We seldom get any snow down here in South Carolina. I always get a little nostalgic when these big storms blow in. I love to watch the news coverage – meteorologists making their predictions, reporters standing out in the cold trying to interview passers-by, people pushing their cars and shoveling their walks, kids sledding and building snowmen. And I love it when the camera pans to show us an endless white landscape.

How much snow did you get? And how did your Danes react to to it?
After our serious Addison's Disease discussion of the past three weeks, I think we could all use a little break and have some fun. If you and your Dane experienced this record-setting storm, please take a few moments to log into the comments area below. We'd like to know where you live, how much snow fell, and how your Dane(s) reacted to it.
