So it's snowing

Snowing again, yes. Rather a hell of a lot.

It's started at noon and is still going strong. We have a good 10cm of snow on the ground now, probably more (it's neck-deep for our cats), and will probably have more by tomorrow morning if this keeps up.

It's funny as hell, because our cats, while this isn't the first time they've seen snow, aren't quite sure how to deal with this much of the white stuff. So if they want to go somewhere in the garden, they'll go to the edge of the snow, sniff at it cautiously, set a paw in it, then start jumping - since it's neck-deep for them, and they (obviously) want to touch as little of it as possible, they've adopted this weird run/jump walk. Rather amusing to see, and leaves some very weird tracks in the snow. Hehe.

Plus they still aren't sure what the stuff is, it seems... so, for instance, one of them went under a bush we have in the garden, and started batting at it with a paw - of course, after a few swipes, the bush dumped the whole lot of snow it had on it on the poor cat. At which point the reaction of the cat could be summed up thus:

"Ahhhwhatthehellisthisthingjumprunawaaaaaay"

And of course, half an hour later, the other cat did the exact same thing. :D

Oh, and we had to take out the rubbish, so my brother volunteered (or rather, got volunteered), and went out in the snow with the rubbish bin... barefoot.

To be honest, I wish I could've done that. Going barefoot in the snow is fun, I've tried it a couple times. But I was sick this past week, I don't want or need to be sick another week, thank you so much.

I've taken photos, incidentally, but they look somewhat icky, since they were (necessarily, since it's dark out by now) taken with flash. I'll try and take better ones tomorrow morning, and if I can't manage, I'll upload these.
