Winter storm walk: number 3

Hours of snow:  20
Accumulation: about 22 inches - nearer 3 feet in the drifts
Conditions:  Strong wind, moderate snow fall
Walking difficulty: 6 - where the plows have been - impossible where they haven't
Peeing difficulty: 7 - again only where the plows have made a route for me.  There are some huge piles of snow which I'm using as substitute trees.
Four paw drive: Permanent 4 paw drive, traction and stability control required
Number of times the plow has been passed: I've lost count.  They come passed every hour or so .  One plow was stuck in a drift outside our place this morning. 
Excitability factor: 10 - still loving it.  The plows are losing their battle meaning deeper snow on the roads for me to play in. 
Traffic level: Just the plows and a couple of hardy dogs.
Number of snowmen: 0 - they've been buried.
Number of snowmen I've peed on: 0
Observations: I wouldn't be able to get around if it wasn't for the plows and blowers. It's deep, really deep, and brilliant.  The power keeps going off which is a bit worrying as there is a Law and Order marathon on TV.
