January thaw

It’s slowly warming up.  Temps for this week is going up to the 30′s.  Woohoo….it will be slushy and wet out which I hate when walking the dogs….coz I hate wiping them down.  I know part of the parcel of owning dogs but I just hate doing it…usually will have the man do it.

The two paths created by the boys in our backyard.  The above picture was taken early January where temp was still in single digits or lower.  Nice clear skies but damn deceiving tho.  The dogs will create paths after the big snowfall in December and after each snowfall, they will still go back to the paths to go do their business.   Under those snow, it some ice too, thanks to the Christmas above freezing temperature, 36 F.  Then over night it freezes when temp drops to the teens and then the Arctic temps creeped in in January.  Lovely!

The man said he is going to clear the snow on the patio!  Why bother i said.  They are hard like a rock.  Let the new owners take care of it!!!    Tho we have not heard back from the stupid bank, we don’t know when we need to close on the house, I just assume if we move out in end of February or March, the snow will not go anywhere.  Snow loves Minnesota.  It will hang around till mid-April or May!
