[ Major Tom, a big grey tabby, seen from behind, looking out the front door. There’s a lot of snow out there & he’s having Opinions about that; his tail is caught mid-lash. ]

I will freely admit that I was FAR more excited about the snow than the boys were. But Tom did, eventually, go outside.

He even got snow on his paws!

[ Cat footprints in the snow. ]

… very briefly.

[ Tom is hunkered down on bare ground under the tinker’s wagon, peeking out from behind one of the tires. ]

FINE MOM, I am outSIDE, are you HAPPY.

[ He’s standing on another patch of bare ground at the front corner of the tinker’s wagon, looking around. ]

okay no look this is JUST NOT ON

[ His hindpaws are still on the bare spot, but he’s stuck one forepaw in the snow, & he’s stretching the other one WAY out to take a step. ]

MOM. OPEN THE DOOR. MOM.

… the one forepaw he’s holding up just KILLS ME

[ And now he’s sitting at the front door, one forepaw held up out of the snow, ears stuck out to the sides, glaring at me. ]

That said, he got a LOT further than Loiosh did.

[ Seen from outside: Loiosh, an orange tabby, is sniffing at the doorframe of the open front door, but he doesn’t look at ALL like he’s actually going to step outside. ]

So then I took a nice half-hour walk by myself & they missed it ALL, the end.

That last one of Tom is funny because he's carefully holding one paw up out of the snow, but he's got a butt full of snow from sitting in it! Dude...

We received a mild amount of snow Sunday night, but Monday night: we had a total of maybe 4-5" on the ground. I got out my New England Overshoes which protects my footsies up to about 3" below my knees, and I needed it in some places going down to my car. Loaded it, fired it up to get the heater and deicers going, then walked up the driveway to the berm on the street. Decided my car could handle it with aplomb, which it did. Made me very happy I kept my snow tires on all year round this year!

The system has cleared out from down here, nothing but blue skies. It's up to about 20f outside, so it'll start icing, which might make it interesting getting out tomorrow. Hopefully my wife will apply some salt this afternoon.
