January 22-23, 2016 saw the largest ever snowfall accumulation in the shortest time in many parts of Maryland. This major event was also Pete’s first snow experience.  Likely any future snows will pale in comparison.

He waited impatiently inside, through the blizzard, with his favorite Frisbee by his side.

 

When he had to chance to go out and explore, he was curious, cautious and bold – that’s because at first, he was able to walk across the top crust.

The next day, he began post-holing as the temperatures warmed.  That was a surprising experience. 

By day three, he claimed the high ground, the pile that Skip had created when he shoveled the steps and walkway.  With his Frisbee, he really enjoyed bounding across the yard, mysteriously choosing places to urgently dig through the snow to the grass below. All in all, it was fun for us all!
