Snow! Wonderful, beautiful snow!
« on: February 26, 2007, 02:39:31 »
Yesterday, on Dunc's photo story, I posted this:

Nice that someone got some snow this winter!  >:( All we got was an ice storm, so the Captain's entire family has been pretty darned grumpy!

Well, wouldn't you know it, this morning we awoke to snow, instead of the ice storm they were calling for! And it was an awesome snow - about 5 inches of fluffy, sticky, wet snow - perfect for making snowmen, snowball fights, sledding, etc.

So first up, a couple of shots of the snow, the aforementioned snowman, and a couple of my "12 inches to the foot scale" klickies enjoying themselves. ;)

Well, since this is a storytelling forum, let me tell a quick little story...

The captions are, in order:

Captain Henry awoke to find the landscape turned white, so he called to his mate to get the Jeep fired up and off-roading they went!

Things were going great until the good cap'n lost control of the Jeep and it skidded sideways.

Just in time, CH managed to get it stopped, but the Jeep hung precariously over a dangerous fall.

Great, now how do we get out of this?

We'll call the Snow Rescue patrol, that's what we'll do!

Nothing a little winch-work can't fix! (Yes, I am sure Dunc is beside himself that the winch cable was attached to the Jeep roll bar instead of the chassis!)

Thanks guys! You're the best!

Maybe we should ride up here so this doesn't happen again...

You know what, cap'n? The view is better from up here anyway! And there's no chance of driving off a cliff! ;)

And lastly, for the animal fans among you, a shot of our dog Buddy frolicking in the powder! :D

Great photos, Cap'n Henry ...

Enjoyed looking at all that snow and your "snow-drifted" jeep.

I especially liked looking at it from the comfort of my lounge chair in the shade of a coconut palm ... ;)

Thanks for sharing.

All the best,
Richard

Fantastic winter pics! Thanks for posting them, Henry! :D

Happy to hear that your wishes finally came true. :)

Looks like Buddy enjoys the snow just as much as you and the children! :yup:

Thanks everyone, I am glad you liked the photos. (And Dunc, feel free to grab whatever you like for your website.)

Yes, Sylvia, Buddy does love the snow. But the big problem is that the ice and snow cakes the hair on his legs, and will not melt for a long time after we come back in. Even with a hair dryer it takes a lot of work to get him dry and clean again. But he has so much fun being out there with my wife and the kids that it would be cruel to leave him inside...

Great story and great photos, Cap'n, and I really like that dog of yours. 

No snow like that for us for a long time.
