Katie woke up this morning feeling lots of contractions. Thankfully they were false ones. The weather forecasters had predicted we'd get some snow today, but as of the morning we had only received a light dusting. Then around 9 or 10, the blizzard started. The sky was so thick with snow and clouds you couldn't see the river from Andy's place of work, which is right next to the river. Andy was able to leave work early and came home during a lull in the storm. By the time he came home, around 4 inches of snow was dropped on the front lawn and back porch. Of course it was time to play!
The snow was the kind of snow you dream about: wet, dense, easily malleable into snowballs and snowmen.
Since Zig hadn't seen snow yet, he was understandably hesitant to go out earlier in the week. Today, he bounded out after Andy. Andy would throw snow up in the air and Zig would try to catch it mid-air. Zig hid his nose in the snow and would use it to make pathways. He went crazy for us in the backyard, running and leaping over the snow. We were quite surprised to see Zig wanting to stay outside; he usually doesn't like being wet.
Andy built a fire, our first in the house, and ... we probably won't be doing it again. While it took a few tries, he finally got it roaring for a short time.
