Good thing I have those gloves

So all the snow was supposed to come yesterday, and it was nice and swirly but the temperature was above freezing so it didn't stick, and it was kind of lame and nothing really happened.

Then I looked up from my computer this morning sometime after 8 am, and we've got a minor blizzard going.

Snowfari 2010, featuring Scout and Shelby:

Taken from the front porch with my actual camera, as opposed to my phone (you can see the huge flakes in the full-sized pictures):

 

Scout and Shelby, who have not seen snow in a year, are perplexed. (Sam is inside; I took him out front on his leash for afterwards.)

 

If you look closely, you can see the wind blowing in their little faces.

 

Shelby tries to pick a fight. (Eh, bored now.)

 

I tried to get a picture of how thick and fast the snow was flying at my face, but it didn't really work:

It was really fun standing out there with the wind and the snow and the swirling fluffiness, though. If it gets more interesting--enough to actually scrape together a snowball--I'll go back out.

Fin.

I lived in the High Sierras for years where we'd get five feet of snow overnight during the big storms. Over the winter, we'd often get 15-20 feet snowbanks and cars crushing beneath the weight. Sometimes, we'd get 30 and 40 foot snowdrifts and houses crushed beneath the weight. At that point, it's time to call in the National Guard for snow removal.

Still, Cleo's pics made me smile and think of home.
