<div><font size="2"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">I am so sorry. I am sorry. I really am. Here I am in the armpit of the midwest where we usually get sucker-punched at least 3 times during the winter (near chicago, but south of it) and we have had almost (relatively speaking) no snow. There is about 3" on the ground now, and while we are expecting 10" tonight and tomorrow, all winter, the storms have gone around us (us meaning this town). I feel so guilty. We aren't doing our part of being snowed in.</font></font></div>
<div><font size="2"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">My dogs go out and play in the yard, they have no problems getting through the snow. My neighbor plowed us out the one time we got more than about 4", so we have not had any problems at all.</font></font></div>
<div><font size="2"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">We're sorry.</font></font></div>
<div><font size="2"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">We apologize to the rest of the country. The dogs are embarrassed. They can go out to pee and poop. They are not suffering from frozen .....ummm.....stuff. There have not been deluges of rain. We have had a couple of windstorms, does that count?</font></font></div>
