I would not allow it either, especially a long haired dog. That is too much work for me, hair everywhere!LOL.
I am glad to hear you are staying in and I did hear about the major or somebody closing certain roads so they would not have a repeat of last time with people getting stranded and then more people have to come out to rescue them and endanger their own lives as well.
We are very cold and windy right now but no ice that I can see. It seems that it stopped raining just in time and I saw a little snow to the north of me but nothing here. Yippee!
