Beer, we got about 10 cm. which is rapidly melting in the bright sunshine, but I bet we'll have some of that Eastern Shore fog this evening. Kitty thinks snow is great fun, especially when trying to catch what's coming off the shovel, until his paws get wet and cold, at which time a great and pitiful mewing occurs.

I'm trying hard to be patient, but I'm gritting my teeth because my very good friend/neighbour, having had little chance to use his snowmobile this winter, has been running it up and down the lake for the past two hours. Given there are pools of water every three metres, I'm hoping he'll soon be wet enough to want to go in. The noise it makes is the worst kind. I'm convinced men hear differently than women, and don't actually hear the high overtones that make it so unpleasant.
