:grin: I would more than glad to send you some of the 4 ft of snow we have on the ground in central NY. I live about 1 hour below the great lakes, we have been hit with two major snow stormes and then lake effect almost every day. The snow is not ice over so a dog will just fall thru and can not run on top as yet. I have the snow shoes ready to go with my little 20 ga. A friend has 3 dogs and we can not wait to get out for the white hare or brown rabbits. We have both in the area.
