Seeing White

I'm finally back.  I realize there was quite a delay between Day 7 and Day 8 but certainly not due to a lack of cat antics or photographs.  They've been entertaining me all the while.  Today we were slated to get a serious snowstorm...at least 8 inches.  Schoole were closed.  People were raiding Kroger for emergency supplies (since when does steak qualify as an emergency supply??).  Anyway, it snowed during the night and driving to work this morning wasn't pleasant, but during the day most of the snow melted.

All this to lead into these photos from close to a month ago, when we actually had some accumulation on January 28th.  Todd went outside to get the snowblower going, once the snow abated, and boys found it fascinating as you can see...

 "Hey Nate, what the heck do ya think Dad's doing out there?"

 "I don't know, but I wish I was out there too!"

 "Gee, it's loud and kind of scary."

"Nah, I think it's exciting. Still wish I was out there."

And finally he got his wish, although he was perhaps a bit less excited about it once his paws sunk into the white stuff.
