Glad we live an hour from Watertown...too damn cold up there. It's only supposed to get just below 0 here. Oh and lake effect snow too...6 to 12 inches with up to 2 feet in persistent bands. :muhaha: An no Cole does not have a coat. He's not a pansy little poodle. :D

Did I mention Ben is running in 2 5k snowshoe races this weekend? He's the one who's going to need a coat. :muhaha:

It's not that bad. He's 14 so his body can take it. He is in awesome shape! We go out and walk on snowshoes when he runs and get good exercise. We travel all over New York state during the winter months going to races. Ben couldn't wait to start snowshoeing when he was still running Cross Country with the high school team this fall.
