Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2004Snow!!!
It snowed in Austin last night! The garden is (almost) covered in white and it's gorgeous! I'll put some pictures online later today. The cats are all indoors staying warm. It's supposed to warm up to the 50's (10's in celcius) so it won't last. In the meantime, Tom and I are enjoying a rare treat: a white Valentine's Day! Heck, a white any day here in Central Texas!

When I saw your title I thought Tom must have whisked you away for a Valentine's getaway to some noirthern state. :o) Congrats on the snow, enjoy it while you can! Why not let the cats go out and explore the white stuff? Or is it too icky for them? Your post reminded me to post this picture I took of one of my windows after we had a big snowstorm in January. You will see the snow has stuck all over the window, and covers the bottom part of it. Now, I live on the second/third floor, and the pic is a bit misleading. The nether floors were not covered in snow, the wet snow had just been driven against the window by the hard wind and it stuck there in droves. Oh, and the house across the yard is finished and people have moved in! http://uk.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankiennikki/detail?.dir=/January+2004&.dnm =72db.jpg or http://tinyurl.com/27qre SignatureMarina, Frank and Nikki Email marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/frankiennikki > it while you can!

Everytime I put the harness on, they complain and complain and walk like if they were drunk. :-) Last year we had an ice storm around this time of year, I missed it because I was in California at a conference. Tom said the whole garden was frozen, including the floor of the cat porch. He was sitting on the computer when he saw Issa whiz by in a frenzy towards the cat door. Issa was out for about 0.1 seconds and came tearing back with eyes wide as saucers... he was almost screaming "what the heck was that?!?!?!?!"

LOL! We had temps around -15 C last weeks, and when I opened the balcony door for Nikki, she would shake her head and turn back. The problem, as usual, was that she trusted that I could make it warmer, and she had to check about every five minutes, so I had to be opening the door for her every so often. Each time she was so disappointed when it was still just as cold. Yesterday, it was around 0 C, and I left the balcony door open for several hours, and the cats were starting to enjoy the balcony once again. Soon they'll be able to sunbathe there again! (I wish, it'll be a couple of months yet.)

Wow, I didn't know it ever snowed in Austin. That's the kind of snow you can really enjoy, because you know it won't be around for long. We are far north of you and haven't had one snow all year.

Since my stupid dial-up and stupid Jurassic Packard computer are slow as molasses today, I marked your website to peruse later on DH's computer. The pics that I *did* see are just gorgeous. Sherry Victor, truly an amazing sight! Good photography. Been meaning to ask since originally seeing your garden on Tom's website: I thought there was something familiar about the "laundry" flying in wind there: would those be Buddhist prayer flags, by any chance? My RB sister left me a set and that's the only reason I'd recognize such. Needless to say, I don't get any of the printing but treasure them because of the source. : For pictures check out the Daily Muse section in Tom's website: : http://soulofthegarden.com > something familiar about the "laundry" flying in wind there: would those be > Buddhist prayer flags, by any chance?

I love your conversation room! I feel so lucky that I actually get to see it in person ... let alone you, Tom *and* all the kitties. Just over three weeks ...

When I went ot bed the forecast was saying we'd get a dusting at most, but this morning had snow on the grass and trees, with snow falling until about 2. So, Sammy did her usual snow dance - running from living room, kitchen and bedroom looking out all the windows - which meant I had to get up and let her out to chase snowflakes. Nothing like an 11lb cat jumping from the next next to the bed, onto the hoomin in bed, and over to the window to get the hoomin up. > I'll put some pictures online later today.

Heck, a white any day here in > Central Texas! I'm jealous! Snow is just as rare here - in fact, I can only remember twice in my life that we've had snow that stuck. One of those times, though, was on Christmas - against monstrous odds, we actually had a white Christmas one year! None of our kitties have ever seen snow, and I'd love to be able to see that happen. ------ Krista PS: Gorgeous snow pics! >It snowed in Austin last night!

Ha-ha! My sister just moved near San Antonio and was bragging about the gorgeous weather. She had to go buy an electric heater. <G> CATherine |
