Total snowfall here = 16"

Number of area forecasters predicting 16": 0

Pearl the dog is 12" tall. Asked to go out this morning, but when I open the door she took one look at it and turned right around.

When we lived in CT there were several times when Bosley the cat ran to the back door to go out, you opened the door, he looked at the 10, 12, 18 inches of snow that was there and would turn around with the most disgusted look on his face. Then I would go snow blow paths around the back yard for him to investigate which would make him happy.

I miss the snow (about 67 here right now but we have a freeze warning out for tonight if you can believe that)

See the opening paragraphs for The Door into Summer. Cats hold their owners personally responsible for the weather.

I always feel guilty--we only have about 20 feet of sidewalk and I've always felt it wasn't worth the expense or effort to get a snow blower. But the neighbors have one and they often end up doing it.

Oh yeah, and I dropped my lens cap while I was taking these. How the hell do you lose a solid black lens cap on fresh white snow? Well, I managed.

I didn't see the wind they were quacking about on TV??

Well the kids are happy with it, but it sems the snow has caused our chinese restaurant to not open today - which is really bumming me out. Sent Jim to pick it up before I even called and ordered... he's not gonna be happy. More importantly though, I'm hungry. Oh yeah, here's the damn snow pics.

To those of you who enjoy this sort of thing, congrats...looks like a dilly!

To those of you who hate this sort of thing, condolences...and it could only be worse in New York.

We've been getting bursts of flurries all day...not enough to be significant. Winter in St. Louis has sucked. I broke out my one coat this week for the first time in 2 months...and I haven't even worn Pimpin Coat this season.

Incidentally, Philly had a big snowstorm on this same weekend last year.

Arlington, VA. Kind of heavy and sticky. Perfect for a snowman.
We also went sledding. I ache now.
It has been a fun day.
