We saw 7 or so flakes fly by last night but they forgot to leave an address...
Weird... usually the Flemish coast NEVER gets snow when the rest of the country groans under a deck of inches. This time the coast has snow and the rest of the country lies dry.
Were having snow in Belgium too now. Big fluffy almost-cat-sized white flakes that come gently wafting down en masse.
Bean Sidhes reaction to his first snowfall ? Puff-cloud. (Thats all we saw of him because he was rocketing straight back inside !!! That over-sized kitty and icy-wet stuff just aint a friendship made in Heaven...)
Bean Sidhe is rejoicing mightily: the white wet icy stuff is gone. He did like to watch it falling though, sitting majestically at the window with his mega-sized butt royally draped all over the hot radiator.
I can understand why he hates the stuff... Ive been cleaning off chunks of ice from his hind-paws last night. The stuff tends to accumulate in his pelt and for some reason His Nibbs refuses to bend over and lick it off, leaving me to perform the chore or risk finding melting pieces of the garden all over my eiderdown.
My Shetland Sheepdogs (Willy & Gogo) can only go outside for so long before their paws start to freeze up, so I have the same thing with them, Elisabeth. They love playing in the snow when its just fallen, but when it all turns to ice then its not so loveable to them. I want to take them back up to the Kawartha Lakes region, its always snowing there. That way the snow never hardens and they can run around outside before feeding time.
