Snow, Snow, Snow

We have had a lot of emails asking how we are doing with the big storm here, so we thought we would do a little update for you. It has been snowing and blowing all day. We have been in and out and in and out and in and out all day. Mom won't let us stay out for long because it is very cold and the winds are very strong. As much as we love snow, this is truly a very dangerous storm. We are fortunate to be on the lighter end of it. Parts of Missouri are being hit even harder. Overland Park has 10.5 inches so far and several more hours of snow and wind to go. We are hoping we don't lose electrical power.


We had been without heat for most of the day, but that has finally been resolved. The Momster has been dressed in layers all day and shivering. The furnace was misbehaving yesterday but then was OK. She was so happy that she was able to get the technician to come back today. No day to be without heat.


Dad actually went to work this morning and then had about an hour ride home around 11:30 for a typical 15 minute commute - biggest problem, freezing windshield wipers and windshield. He is supposed to fly out to Florida early in the morning for an important business meeting, but our airport is closed right now.


After all that boring news, here is a video of us having fun in the snow. Phantom likes the snow but not the cold. He keeps going out but wants back in pretty quickly. Thunder and Ciara do enjoy both the cold and the snow as you will see. The video is a bunch of short clips put together. And yes, the Momster did all the shooting from inside - too cold for her out there. Enjoy.

  1. Why is it that the furnace always picks the coldest day around to stop working? Hope your mom is nice and warm now and you guys don't lose power.

    Sure looks like you guys were having fun in all that snow. :)

  2. Um, HELLO? Siberia called. They want their siberians back. I mean, has it not occured to you? Siberians + Fur + Forced Snuggle = HEAT. If they won't snuggle, then get out the furminator...

    seriously, glad your heat's back on... that looks cold! we don't have snow. and i can't believe i'm saying this, but i'm sad. the dogs sure loved it!

  7. I am sooooo very much glad that you got your furnie fixed.. just in the nick of time.
    I don't know how you manage to play like that in all of that snow. I must admit that you make it look like fun!!! 10.5 inches would be way over MY head!!!
    You stay safe and make sure you snug up to your mom.
    I think your dad should stay home fur a few days. I'm just sayin'.

  8. Thank goodness you have HEAT! I'm glad you're having so much fun in the snow. It's the best!!! But make sure you all stay safe too! I hope your dad doesn't have too much trouble with his travel plans.

  9. That do be so nice of you to try to keep all that snow by you so we not be getting any more. I think that confuzzled the wevver peeples coz they rilly isn't saying much at all about wot we is getting tomorrow. Today we has ice on the deck and mom screams SLOW when I go peeling out the back door coz she is afraid I is going to wipe out and break something. Moms!

  10. Paws crossed for your safety. We are with Phantom, the snow might be OK, but the COLD certainly isn't. We don't do cold.

    Hope the furnace stays on. But we thinks if every doggie and human snuggled together you would stay warm.

  13. We're glad you have heat inside but it sure looks like fun outside! That opening scene made our mommy laugh out loud! Ciara is such a character! We're glad your dad made it back home too!

  14. Hey that is what we have been doing all day too. Our snow isn't so fluffy though it is more like ice pebbles.. Temps in the single digits over night. Mom and Dad think they will work from home again since the roads are still iced over...

  15. There's nothing more beautiful than a Sibe in the snow! I'm so glad you all had such fun! I'm also very glad the heat is back on.

  16. Glad to hear that the furnace is working again. Love the Snow, but enough is enough.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Glad to hear you survived the storm fine...and had fun to boot. That's bad to lose heat. We're worried about the electricity since we have an electric furnace and since the lights have been flickering a bit.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Your blizzard is wicked looking...beautiful but not very nice to be in. We have wind and very cold temps after a bit of snow, but nothing like you all are experiencing. Please be safe and warm...this is a dangerous storm.

    SO glad that the furnace is back in business. I would bet dad will have to reschedule his trip as the storm continues to move east.

    They are both rough and tough Siber Girls!!

    I'll have to enjoy the snow by watching your video again and again - just fog here today after some freezing drizzle ovFURnight - Mom isn't sure what to expekht in the morning -

    Please stay safe and warm and snowy!

  21. Oh that looks like such a wondrous time! Here's to wishing we were romping too! But sadly pink bald bellies dont fare well outside 10min romps!

  22. I'm sad to have left the warm temperatures of the southern desert, but I am happy to watch the OP Pack have so much fun in the snow!

    Ciara, you definitely DON'T fight like a girl!

    ReplyDelete
  23. I am with Phantom! Snow is fun, but cold is not. We'd consider ourselves fortunate to get ten and a half inches of snow. Originally they were predicting fifteen inches, but now say we may get up to two feet! Do you want some of ours?

  24. Eeek! It's been a tough storm here, too. We got mostly ice, though. I'm a bit petrified about tomorrow morning's commute, but today was a welcome day off from work, just being at home. The pups were happy we were home, too. They seemed to want to be outside, too, but that wind is a beast. Feels like a frozen wasteland here.
    I'm glad your heat is back on and hope the hubby has a safe trip!

  25. How awful that your furnace decided to play dead today! You all have a lot on your plate! So glad you made a post - Sibe weather fur shores!!! Ciara reminds us so much of Avalon heheh! She "bugs" Sammie all the time, no matter rain, sun or even snows (which we don't get!) or inside - constantly on Sam's case!!! She obviously loves the winter scene there. Hope your hubby gets to Fl, but if airport closed... ??? Stay warm hoomans!

  27. Wow! Husky fun, but it sure looks like an awful lot of snow. Sure glad your furnace is working now and it stays that way through this storm. Stay safe!!

  28. My internet connection suddenly started moving. I'm so glad that you Sibes got a big snow! I can see that you're romping like the happy dogs that you are!

    Sorry about the furnace... Oh my. We've been huddled by our fire all day even though our furnace is working!

    I hope that airport opens in time for the trip!

  34. Glad you are all safe! We are getting the ice part of the storm..even the Newfs would rather not be out in out! When I let them in tonight the ice coming off them sounded like glass when it hit the floor!
    We are staying inside:)

  37. Our heat went out today and jan couldn't relight it. She was fortunate to get some help or we'd be cold too. It's not snowing here. Just poured rain. Be warm and safe!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Was that Ciara with the tail grab?? Both us white dogs do that all the time. Must be in the genes! HeHe! We only have 5 inches of snow and looks like the storm is going to miss us. We love the snow, but not the cold and all we've had is cold.

    Hope you're staying warm now!!
    Have fun!!

    ReplyDelete
  39. I really think Ciara and Khady need to get together! They would play perfectly together! They can pounce, and chase, and chew on each other without bothering the rest of us!! Don't worry TD, I totally understand what you are going through!

    We had nasty weather here too. Luckily we were just on the edge so only got about 6 inches. But, the wind has been the worst part!

    Glad the furnace got fixed and we hope your dad gets to take his flight!

    Happy snow playing!

  43. Glad to hear that you at least like the snow! We are soooooo tired of it. Now there is a layer of ice on top of ours - we are almost light enough to walk on top of the snow, but keep falling in, yucky! At least we are all warm & safe like you!

  46. We were hit with the storm last night - snow thunder and lightening and everything! It is still snowing, but not as bad as last night.

    Looks like you three make out better in the snow then me - the snow is over my head! Makes doing my business a little difficult!

  56. Totally "paw"some video! Is that Thunder in the beginning getting all that "air" under his running? Quite impressive! My five would love to come join your Sibes in a fun game of snow zoomies! I hope you have heat back on for the hu-family! The storm weakened by the time it got here so the predicted 20" turned into 10-12, and today is an ice storm, and that's not good! Slip sliding all over. Our furbabies spent a great deal of time during these storms too. Stay warm, dry, and safe!

  57. Firstly, I just want to say that I'm SO very happy that TD's collie-flower wasn't anything to worry about. YAY!

    And secondly, I'm SO jealous that you gots some snow. We got that storm here, too, but it didn't leave us any snow. I guess cuz it was saving up to leave it for all our furends. We just got the boring, awful cold. We haven't been above zero degrees for almost 3 days and that means I haven't been on my walkies for three days either cuz mom and dad says it's too dangerous and my Most Magnificent ears might freeze right off! I can't wait til it gets warmer so we can go for a walk again.

    Anyways, you all stay safe and do some zoomies in your snow for me, okay?

    Wiggles & Wags,
