Snow Day

Some of my friends heard that their "cousins" in Colorado get to do storm reports on my aunt's blog when it snows there.  They figured since I have a snow day, they should be able to do a snow report.  The photographer was not willing yet to venture out too far, so the pictures aren't very dramatic.  Both our front door and balcony are pretty sheltered, so no major drifts to show off.

This is Reggie the Penguin reporting on the Blizzard of 2011.  The Blizzard Warning was downgraded to a Winter Weather Advisory and it only goes until noon instead of 7pm tonight.  However you should only be out on the roads if you absolutely need to (i.e. you are doing snow removal or work for emergency services).  The plows are still out working and it's not wise to get in their way. Although the picture doesn't show it well there is a LOT of snow on top of our car, at the bottom of the stairs.  We got a lot in the last few hours and it's still snowing, though not as hard.

Reggie loves this weather, but cautions that if you are out playing in it, you need to dress warm and stay away from the streets.  The plows are tossing a lot of snow that you don't want thrown at you.  Plus it will be hard for them to see you!

Reggie's friends, Benton and Little Leopard wanted in on the snow reporting action as well.  The photographer still didn't feel like venturing out, so they got a picture by our balcony.  We have a nice winter scene out our living room.  Although the balcony is covered in snow, it's not deep due to the wind direction and how sheltered our balcony is.

This is Reggie signing off and wishing you a safe and warm day today!
