Snow in the Mountains

We had a dandy snow storm for a few hours this morning and accumulated at least two more inches, giving all the old stuff a fresh new look.  I am surprised there was so much left on the ground after so many warm days. Cleo woke up this morning at 5! She promptly trotted outside to do her 'duty' so I can't complain.  When you have to go you have to go! Naturally Gypsy got up at the same time but obediently went back to bed. When Cleo returned, she sweetly curled up next to me and went to sleep; after planting her four tiny cold paws in the middle of my back! She is a heat seeking missile.
