thank God this one missed us! We've had records amt of snow & cold both here in Iowa this winter. Sorry you're dealing with it though! We are suppose to climb into the 40s & 50s starting Monday -- we'll push some warm air you're way
It was 0 this morning, but I'm hoping the warmth will melt all our snow & that will be the end of the white stuff this year!!
As far as taking the dogs out, if they have steps to go up & down, I would definitely carry them down yourself. Put them where you want to go & then bring them back up, so the wind doesn't get the best of them
