White Christmas

A Merry, Merry White Christmas from Zorro, Jack and I!
Celebrating the end of our short morning run with my very focused partners.
Notice the snowflakes you can see against Jack's dark black and my coat and pants.
White Christmas!
Every once in a while, it is snowing so hard that the plows cannot keep up. When this happens, we get the fun experience of starting a skijor run from our garage and tour the local streets and trails around our house. Now this is how you celebrate a White Christmas!
Starting out in our driveway as you see the stair railing to our front door to the right and a
neighbor's house at the end of the street in front of us.
We started from our driveway and then took a hike/bike trail to nearby Carter Park. We were first in the park and got to enjoy breaking trail in deep snow through the park:
Breaking trail in Carter Park! Wheeee!
After an aerobic plow through the park, we cut back onto streets and followed tire tracks with 2-4 inches of snow cover in the otherwise 12+ inches of fresh snow. Come along for a short run in the tracks as you see Zorro towing me "in track" while little Jack simply tries to keep up and fit in the track with Zorro.
