It's Snowing?!?

Our local intrepid weatherman assured us last night on the late news that Boulder and Denver might get a few snow flurries this morning, but there would be no accumulation. I had a restless night, but didn't see any precipitation - until I got up this morning. There is snow on the patio, snow on the ground, and the snow is still drifting gently down from the heavens. The only other day we had snow accumulation, both kits refused to go outside. Today, Nedi had his first snow experience. (I'll post the photo later today.) He stepped out into the snow on the edge of the patio and sniffed it. He shuffled his feet a little bit. Then he leaped out into the yard, which has about a half-inch of the white stuff, and just stood there, jerking his tail around, while the snow fell on him and he absorbed the experience. Then he started to chase the larger flakes. Of course, they melted in his paws, which seemed to perplex him - but he continued trying to catch the flakes for about 5 minutes. Lovey ran out, stepped into the snow on the patio, and then high-tailed it, running as fast as she could up the patios to the north, and then back again. She convinced Nedi to play chase heading south, and they hit a drift of leaves and snow and both disappeared. Then Lovey came running back, yelling "Momma! Momma!" as she does when she believes she has discovered something new. Nedi, in the meantime, jumped out of the leaf and snow pile, shook himself off (like a dog), and went tearing up one of the aspens. I let them play outside for 20 minutes and then called them in - for a little bit of warm milk. They both seemed to appreciate it. - I'll be heading out in a bit to walk Rosie and Remy; it's 22 outside, and the snow is still falling!
