The Loft: Butches and Femmes in their 40s, 50s and over.

Afternoon Lofters (it's 13.20pm here).

Are all you East Coasters ok? I've just been watching the BBC and the news is the east coast USA is getting freak snow storms, possibly the worst ever...Is this true?

Bloody Nora! That's a lot of the white stuff. I hope you've got plenty of supplies in. Is Milo of the canine or feline fur-suasion?

We've had lots of snow here in the UK over the last couple of months but I'm lucky I live in place that is (usually) protected - by the Pennine Hills on the landward side and Morecambe Bay on the seaward side. For 3yrs I've been telling my girl that Blackpool just doesn't get snow only for us to wake up at the start of Christmas week to a white-out...tsk! Thankfully our snowy inconveniences are over and it's just cold. Roll on spring.

my milo is of a cock-a-poo persuasion...lol

I have a beautiful black and white newfoundland dog named Story. She is 100 lbs. She was up to her forehead in snow when she went out this morning! When I opened the door, I had to push and push and push to get it opened..she bolted out and fell right into the snow..you couldnt see our steps! The real measure of the snow is that it reached up to the handle of my snow shovel...I had to shovel in layers...my poor old girl (she is 13) was traumatized by how the world changed. I shoveled her a circular area so she has space to do her business. I cant believe how much snow we had overnite!

och it's always windy in the winter here...I love those high tides - fabulous to dress up in yer warmest most waterproof gear and go stand on the promenade whilst the waves crash over. Although I think the new sea defences might stop that.

A cocker-poo, oh how adorable...that's a cocker spaniel/poodle cross right? I have met a couple of Labradoodles along the way but never a cocker-poo...do you have pictures of him on here?

Crumbs! A dog that weighs around the same as I do - yes I am on the rather short skinny side

Poor Story, I hope she recovers from her ablutions trauma. To be fair, if I was an animal I wouldn't want to be pulling my furry knickers down in the snow either!

Aye 'tis true the big waves are awesome and the spray somehow refreshing - even in winter!

I don't know about being a subscriber to upload pics although suspect you could be right. I've been unable to load even teeny tiny avatar sized pictures to my gallery. The system tells me they're too big but any smaller and they'd be nano sized.

Morning Lofters,
Arizona Valley here. Weather has been decent here for most part lately. Mid 60s and only a few days of rain. I love it! However, Feb is the rainy month here so who knows what will happen. Our Monsoon season only gave us about an inch of rain last Sept. Makes a bad drought for the Valley. Our neighbors in the mountains are getting all our moisture so should replenish our waterways in Spring when their snow melts. Hopefully, won't flood us out. Saying prayers for everyone's safety.

[morningstar55]
