And it is coming down much more now..I'm watching the snow get closer and closer to the window, the ground is rising, lol.

[Squirrel]

Lots and Lots of white stuff... Hope you don't have to be out in it too much. Safe travelling when you do have to be out.

[Tink]

Thanks, our only outing should be to the in laws house for supper..they are about a thirty minute drive...then back home again, lol.

[dandysmom]

Beautiful scenic shots, and horrifying to a snow hater like me! I do hope this doesn't foretell a bad Winter! Which of the cats was that in the outside shot...Hestia? Has Solomon ventured out yet?

[Mags]

Very pretty snow scenes, it's nice to see the dogs enjoying it....:D

[Tink]

No kitties have ventured out just watched through the window :wink:

They obviously have more sense than the dogs! ;)

Third pic from the top, left hand side where the two dogs are on the right ... surely that is a cat?

Lol, that is Bounce (jack russell/austrailian sheperd mix)..she's in the distance a bit so she looks even smaller:-D

[Tink]

I've just spotted "Hestia's Boyfriend" sitting on the driveway..uploading a few more pix now..

[Tink]

We've canceled the trek to K's parents' house...here's a few reasons why... :lol:

Oh wow, you have really gotten it! What a shame to have to miss the Thanksgiving dinner, but better safe than driving in that. Disappointing, but maybe tomorrow if the roads are clear and your driveway's navigable? Poor Hestia's boyfriend, wish he had a warmer place than under the trailer... :( Beautiful pics, but snow really can make life difficult!

[Tink]

I watched him and at first it looked like he was going to take shelter under our neighbor's house, then he picked our trailer instead. I'm starting to think more and more he just eats in this neighborhood from people who leave food on the porch. Wish he'd let me get a little bit closer.

[angieh]

So sorry you had to cancel Tink, but far better safe.

If anyone can get closer to that cat in time, it will be you!

[Squirrel]

poor Hestia's boyfriend... Hopefully he'll be dry at least, if not exactly warm...

[calismum]

Gosh, you have had snow. Shame about the dinner but then you had no idea if the weather would get heavier or stop. Better safe indooors.

I agree that poor cat is just begging for you to take him under your wing. His eyes are just so big and worried looking. Poor guy.

[Tink]

Well, you won't believe this but there is almost no trace of snow this morning!! Thank goodness I took pics or I would have thought I had dreamt it up. 46 degrees and overcast albeit dryer and warmer than yesterday.
I do wonder about that cat. Maybe I should start putting food out for him.

[dandysmom]

What a blessing it's melted. Good riddance! Is there somewhere in the yard you could rig up a little shelter like Shelley's OH did? I know you don't have an old hen house as Angie does.
