CJ nervously creeps onto the back porch

The snow made mini mountains as it fell through between the steps

He didn't seem to mind the cold snow on his bare feet...

In the middle of a meow

I had to bribe him to get him to stand still in front of the mountain for a photo

The elusive cat tongue caught on film

Tongue?

It was so far below freezing for so long that the snow didn't melt or pack at all... it stayed all fluffy like this

A few...

...wallpaper-y...

...photos.

Mini mountains up close

It was about 12 inches of fresh snow, on top of about 7 left over from previous storms.
