Dog walk report. The app says -3 just before 6 this morning. So far just a few drops - but I ran into a neighbour who says those drops are freezing when they hit the windshield. A messy day on the way ❤️🐕

Dog walk report. -14 just after 6 this morning. Very slight bit of new snow. Just enough to camouflage the slippery spots. Sam is very intent on catching up on neighbourhood news 🗞️ ❤️🐕

Dog walk report. -17 just before 5 this morning. Not sleeping, so why not walk? I forgot Sam’s coat, so we kept it short. Sidewalks are still icy. No fashion footwear folks. Grip is key ❤️🐕
