Holy Crap!

Have I mentioned before that I live in the DESERT? Near Las Vegas!!
Do you see how shaky the camera is? It's because Mommy was still trembling from her drive home from work. Daddy went to get her and a 20 minute drive took almost three hours of white-knuckled slipping and sliding over hill and dale. Thank Cod they made it home in time to feed me!


Here is a better photo of my yard... and one of Daddy shoveling snow.


We may get another 6 inches of snow tonight ~~~ that's Mommy trembling again.

  3. Whoa! I don't guess people in your parts are used to driving in the White Evilness. I hope it melts soon because snow really is something otherwordly and not from a good otherworldly place...

  8. Yeah Cory is right! No snow here :(
    Please send me your snow Fin, but I implore you to have a little pad about in it before your Dad shovels it all up and sends it to the UK.

    How gorgeous would Fin look in the snow?

    *goes weak at the knees*

    C'mon Fin of Finland, it's time to live up to your title!

    Seriously though, that musta been so scary for your Mommy and Daddy. Look at your fountain! I'm glad the feeshes are inside for the winter!

    Stay cosy, all of you.

    Wuudles.

    PS:..er, ask your Daddy to build you a snowcat.

  9. You got more snow than we did!! We are supposed to get freezing rain tomorrow. Mama hates that even more than snow.

    Keep warm & tell your mommy & daddy to be careful in that mess.

    Hugs & Purrs,
    Sammy, Festus & Emma

  10. Wow! Snow in the desert? Weather is just crazy everywhere! Our Grampy no longer owns a snow shovel, although for some strange reason he still keeps a windshield scraper in his truck.

  12. We've nevereverever seen snow and we don't want to. Course, like you, our long floof would keep us warm, but we think our beans would go freakycrazymad if snow fell (we live in what they call the sunshine state yaknow). No wonder your mommy is trembling! (PS we loves your little guinea piggy, our grandbeans got some of them too).
    Lastly, we send Merry Merry Christmas wishes to each and every one of you.
    Maggy & Zoey, (and human, Ann)

  13. Dear Fin! I live in the desert of Washington state and we have 12 inches of snow right now! It is still falling!! WOW that you have snow is not too normal! Maybe you can make a few snowballs and store them in the freezer to bring out in 100 degree summer heat!?
    Stay warm and sweet greetings from Miss Peach

  14. Snow, you got snow in a desert! It's in the 70's here right now, we are suppose to get some more cold for Chris mouse, but we doubt we will get snow. ~S,S & C

  15. SNOW??? You got SNOW??? One of the reasons Mom talks about moving to the desert is to avoid the four letter s-word (unless she chooses to go cross-country skiing, in which case bring it on). The other reason is her asthma.

    The most important thing is that you were inside where it's nice and warm and still got fed on time. Did you go out to play in the white stuff or did you choose to observe from inside? Mom had a cat who liked to play in the snow.

    By the way, we read your screenplay and the sequel and enjoyed them very much. If Hollywood offered you enough money to use your script, who do you see playing you, your Mom and Dad?

    And thank you for telling us about The Racket. We should start a band. We're also thinking that the three of us should collaborate on a book. Humans love self-help; they could do with a little feline advice. Maybe Whicky and his family would like to join in.

    Big hugs,

    Ms. P and Cinza

    PS Sorry about the long comment.

  16. We heard about snow in Las Vegas on the radio this morning on the way into work. WOW. Do you know we are having a heat wave? It's 80 plus degrees here. In fact they said it was the warmest location in the country right now. Amazing...just amazing. We heard that they had to shut down your airport...wow.

  19. Oh my goodness, Fin, that is a lot of snow! I do not blame your mom for being nervous. In south Florida, sometimes we get torrential downpours, and my Mommie hates driving in that.

    Stay warm!
