Winter Wonderland

   I have lived in or near Charlotte, NC my whole life. Snowstorms are pretty rare here and we can go for years without getting much snowfall at all. Until this week, the last substantial snowfall we had was on Christmas day in 2010. Over the past couple of days we have gotten about 8 or 9 inches - which is a lot for us.
  With our dog Jessie only being 2, she has not seen much snow yet. She loves running around and playing in it, but taking care of business in it is a whole other story. It was sleeting hard, which freaked her out. She would not tinkle for anything - after numerous tries by my husband and myself. He ended up shoveling snow at 11:00 pm to make a spot for her and she finally went.
  Northerners always make fun of the way we react to snow in the south. I know we can get a little carried away, and we can't drive in it. But I have always liked that we get so excited about getting snow. I wouldn't want to live in a city where snow wasn't a big deal.
