Cozy

Patches stayed inside, nice and cozy all weekend.

We did indeed get that little snow dumping on the weekend, and although I haven't heard that we've officially set a snowfall record in this fair burg, we certainly have had our fair share of the white stuff this year.

Only thaws after each snowfall have prevented major accumulation.

Still, as you can see from the photo below, taken on Saturday, we've had a not-insignificant amount of snow this past week (lawns and streets were bare a week ago today).

Saturday the temperature hovered around freezing, meaning much slop and wet. Yesterday it was (finally!) sunny, but huge winds (gusts up to 70km/h) blew a cold front in - yesterday when I stepped out to get some catfood for "the ladies", -15C felt more like -25C or -30C.

Patches and Cinza certainly have the right idea. Housecats: what a gig! Stay in the nice warm apartment and let the humans venture out to get the food. That's the life!
