The first Snow of 2009/10

The weather predictions were correct, eventually – the Snow storm arrived later than claimed, but it did deliver at least a foot of Snow; hard to measure as it was very windy as well, giving deep drifts in some parts of the garden, and almost nothing elsewhere.

Chloe seems to have never met Snow before; when I opened the door this morning, she look shocked by all the white stuff, poked it with one paw, stuck her head in it (!) then turned and walked away; and hasn’t been near the door since!
But she still likes outside, and keeps looking out the windows, though when I went out to take pics and see how deep it was, she stayed in:


The high winds created some very interesting Snow sculptures. Also here, I dug out some of the steps to the front door, to give an idea of the Snow depth:

Snow is coming

Of course the weather reports for the last few days have been telling us that Snow is coming – originally a couple of inches but now up to a predicted 8″ perhaps; but even without the reports, looking at the sky this morning where the thick snow-laden clouds were almost blocking the Sun, it was obvious that Snow is on the way … these are definitely Snow clouds!
