Awwww, baby's first snowfall. That's sweet!
I great up in northern Michigan, so I should be meh about the white stuff. But the first (if any) snow of the year always gets a, "Snow, yay!" from me.
You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

Sadly, as we tore down the back deck because of the rot, we have no place to torture the kitties with the snow, assuming any sticks. Oh well.
(Kitties are very tempted by the white stuff, then very shocked at the cold, and then they don't try to escape the house again for at least a month.)

A friend let his cats out into one of our rare snows, and one cat discovered that if you whacked this strange white stuff with a paw, it made a ball, and if you chased the ball and whacked it again it made a bigger ball. That cat making snowballs was one of the funnier things I've ever seen.
I grew up in Chicago and I think that snow is lovely stuff when it first falls and before you have to actually go anywhere. After that, NSM. About 10 years ago, we had the perfect snow here. It started snowing Saturday morning and snowed several inches of fluffy white packable snow. Kids (and adults) made some of the biggest snowmen I've ever seen around here. Then it melted Sunday night, although the odd snowman lump persisted for weeks.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Snow is the best reason for supers and subways.

We once had a cat that would want to go out in the snow but, once out, was disgusted by the cold and wet. She'd pick up a paw, shake it, then put it down again. Repeat with each paw. She always looked like what she really wanted was to pick up all four paws and get them all dry at once.

Where in Northern Michigan?
Alpena. Which isn't northern compared to, say, Marquette, MI, I guess. But for the lower penninsula it's kinda northern.
And in totally other news, I found out just before leaving work today that we'll probably see layoffs in the next week or so. No idea if I'll be one of them or not. I have 70+ applications out and not one interview, so any secure employment~ma hanging about would be appreciated, please.
