WOW SNOW!

wow guys! THIS is what we woke up to this morning!
Mom's work closed today so she got to sleep in. Normally it's her saturday,
but, they closed yesterday already due to a blizzard warning. It started snowing yesterday around noon- and has been snowing ever since.
It's already higher than ben.

This is our porch:

Our wind chime....

Because of all the snow mom can't take a lot of shots out there because she doesn't want to hurt her camera. But she will go out when it stops. It's supposed to snow until 10 pm tonight!

Mom was supposed to go into work this after noon to walk the dogs, but she won't be able to get there then either. So they have emergency staff who will do it. Our parking lot has been plowed a few times- and is already covered again. Mom can't even get her car out.

Look at our icicles!

It's so deep, ben army crawls when he's out there because he can't stand. and none of the side walks are cleared yet- because that's kind of pointless. It's just going to cover again. So mom carries ben to low spots so he can go.

More icicles...

Our table!

Benneh on the porch.

our trees are covered in beautiful white...

no squirrels are out there. They are all in our roof.

Mom is out there with ben and tesla- making a snow bean.
In a few moments, when mom was done, ben ate him.
:(

Tesla asks to come in.

Then she went and sat in the corner on the deck and watched the snow.

She's pretty cute out there.

Ben after eating some snow bean.

After this shot- a HUGE gust of wind came, so tesla got scared and crawled into mom's lap, where she stayed for a while.
Mom thought that was just too cute. And then mom made another snow bean, which ben fell on and destroyed.

I had to stay inside because of my naked butt, and my sutures. But that's ok, i'd rather be inside anyway! --hansel.

HAHAHA! Ben ate the snowbean! We have a golden & a black lab next door and they just love to romp in the snow.
Telsa you ARE beautiful in your pictures! And you are brave to go out in that. We hate getting our kitty feet cold & wet.
The snow is always so pretty, but then comes the nasty work of digging out.

Oh my goodness, look at the patio! It's a good thing you stayed in side Hansel...wait till it warms up a bit!

Rusty said...

We didn't get any of that cold nasty white stuff. (Thank goodness!) I'm glad, I hate when I can't go out on the deck, but Mom or the Guy always manage to shovel a spot for me to just sit outside and look. I don't go far that's for sure.

Hope Hansel gets all better real soon. Glad his surgery went very well.

I bet it's times like this you're glad you're not a woofie who has to go outside to go to the loo!

Yup, we're positive, we wouldn't like this snow thing. Not for us.

Tesla,
You are a brave little kitty, and you must tell Hansel about the snow. I hope Ben didn't get to cold.

When you said snow, you meant SNOW! Tesla, you are very brave to venture out and Ben looks cold and wet and unhappy that his "litterbox" is outside. I am glad he enjoyed the snow bean fun. Hansel I am glad you are staying safe and out of the weather. You should watch the mail next week, we have sent you a get well present.
