i can finally actually dream of a white christmas

This past weekend we got a boatload of snow dumped on us, and by boatload I mean about 11". Once again, we were mesmerized, flabergasted, intrigued, and curious all at once. But nonetheless, it's just about what you might expect -- really cold, flaky, light (but heavy when you're shoveling it), and cumbersome to drive in.

Here's some pictures of our winter wonderland:

yes, that's us, and yes, our boots are covered in snow

if you take a look at the bottom of the window you can see our cats doing their best to play mind tricks on the curious squirrel (click on the picture to see a bigger version)

yes, I had to shovel all that snow from behind our car

that would be Esmeralda's foot in the foot of snow

snow-licious

Esmeralda's first snow angel (I did one too)

it might be a little difficult pedaling these around
