Keeping a Snowball from the Sun

Corra playing snowball fetch with Mr. Badger as the sun was setting. The snow had softened enough that we can no longer walk on it, but the dogs can. Getting out towards the woods was annoying as every other step we'd fall through and have to climb out. The snow is still over a foot deep. Oh, and they are predicting another 6-10 inches for Wednesday into Thursday ;_; WWHHHYYY!?
